UK Clashes in Southsea Over Migrant Hotel Spark Fury
Tensions erupted on the south coast as rival protesters clashed outside a Southsea hotel housing asylum seekers — amid a growing nationwide backlash against migrant accommodation. Crowds gathered outside the Royal Beach Hotel on Thursday evening (August 1), with anti-migrant demonstrators waving flags and demanding the hotel be shut down. Just metres away, counter-protesters from Stand Up to Racism Portsmouth held banners reading "Refugees Welcome", sparking a tense face-off. The Southsea stand-off was one of several protests across the South of England on the same day, with similar scenes unfolding in Portsmouth, Southampton, and Bournemouth — all targeting sites currently being used to house migrants while their asylum claims are processed. The unrest comes hot on the heels of recent protests in Epping, Essex, where locals have repeatedly demanded the closure of The Bell Inn — a hotel that’s been used on and off for asylum accommodation over the past five years. Elsewhere in the capital, The Britannia International Hotel in London’s swanky Canary Wharf was surrounded by a ring of steel last month after demonstrators descended on the site, furious that the luxury four-star property had been repurposed for migrant use. In Hampshire, frustration is also boiling over in Waterlooville, where protesters hit the streets on Wednesday opposing plans to house asylum seekers above town centre shops. Residents warned the move could lead to “mayhem”, with thousands reportedly objecting. Back in Southsea, this week’s protests follow two earlier demonstrations last month. The most recent, held on July 26, passed peacefully, with police officers managing to keep rival groups apart. A Hampshire Police spokesperson said, “The protest was peaceful and passed without any incidents reported to police during the event. Our priority with protests is always public safety. We aim to balance the rights of lawful protest with the rights of the wider public to go about their daily lives free from disruption.” But a previous protest saw arrests. A 64-year-old man was detained on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon, while another man, 40, was arrested for a racially aggravated public order offence, according to the Portsmouth News. Police also slapped a dispersal order on the area to prevent violence. The Royal Beach Hotel, a grand Victorian building opened in 1866 and once billed as a “visitor paradise”, was first reported to be housing asylum seekers in April 2022. At the time, it was set to be used until at least August of that year — but three years on, it remains a flashpoint. The venue was previously targeted by far-right group Britain First in 2022, who filmed at the site as part of what they called an “exposé”. The group was founded by a former BNP politician. Responding to the tensions, local Lib Dem councillor Gerald Vernon-Jackson urged compassion: “Southsea’s residents should welcome those in need of the hotel’s services.” However, plans to end the site’s use for asylum seekers are already in motion. The hotel is currently wrapped in scaffolding, with major work underway to convert it into housing. Portsmouth City Council has already approved planning permission for the redevelopment.
