Three arrested after anti-refugee protest outside Merseyside hotel: ‘It was like a war zone’

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell posted on Twitter: “Deeply shocking and concerning scenes of violence in Knowsley this evening. Utterly unacceptable behaviour, putting officers and public in danger.Deeply shocking & concerning scenes of violence in Knowsley this evening.

He said: “Until the police have investigated the matter, it is too soon to jump to conclusions and the effort on the part of some to inflame the situation is emphatically wrong.“In addition, the misinformation about refugees being feather-bedded is untrue and intended to paint a picture that does not at all represent the facts.

Knowsley Council leader Graham Morgan said he was “saddened and concerned” by the violent clashes outside the hotel. He said: “My message to the rest of our community is one of reassurance. “All the evidence is that the majority of those who seek asylum in this country are refugees from places like Syria, Iran and Afghanistan who long to feel safe and secure in the UK.
