‘We
Want Our Country Back’ – On Saturday, 6 September, the third Saturday in a row,
English nationalists draped in union jack and St George flags protested noisily
outside the Best Western Hotel in Long Eaton, where many asylum seekers have
been housed. Shouts of ‘Stop the Boats’ were combined with anti-trans,
anti-Palestine and anti-left slogans, intermixed with direct personal attacks
on migrant supporting counter-protesters, taking up position on the other side
of the road in front of the hotel itself. In this blog post, I will discuss why
these developments mark a dangerous turn in British politics.
