Footage aired on British TV showed officers with shields targeted by a barrage of projectiles outside the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham. ... The protesters can be seen storming the building and removing chairs from inside to use as weapons.
Britain's Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the violent attack on the hotel, calling it 'utterly appalling.' She emphasized the severity of the situation by stating, 'Deliberately setting fire to a building with people known to be inside.'
Several more anti-immigration protests were scheduled across different cities in the UK, including Middlesborough where police employed dogs to control the crowd. Dispersal orders were also granted in Liverpool, Bolton, and Southport.
