"Anti-migrant hotel protesters dubbed the Pink Ladies' are set to converge on Whitehall today as part of a demonstration against the use of hotels to house asylum seekers. Conservative councillor Susan Hall said it will be a very peaceful affair involving women who are fed up with illegal migrants in hotels in their communities. The Pink Protest' will take place between 10am and 2pm at Parliament Square, with counter-protesters from campaign group Stand Up to Racism set to gather from 9.30am at Downing Street."
"Pink Ladies groups have held similar demonstrations over the summer outside immigration hotels where refugees and immigrants have been staying, including Canary Wharf and Epping. The group, made up of women describing themselves as local mothers, sisters, and grandmothers, say they are not far-right, just on the right side of history. Immigration has become an increasingly prevalent and divisive topic for politicians and civilians, with Sir Keir Starmer recently announcing an ID card system that he claims will make the immigration system fairer."
