The far-right group Britain First has been duped into protesting outside hotels which do not contain asylum seekers after being supplied with a fake list including the Dorchester on Park Lane, London, and a pub hotel owned by an associate of Dominic Cummings.
Supporters of Britain First last year entered hotels used by the Home Office to accommodate asylum seekers and started banging on bedroom doors and antagonising the asylum seekers there.
They are now resuming these hotel visits and put out an appeal to members of the public to give them the names of hotels where they knew asylum seekers were being accommodated.

Many activists and politicians spoke out with relief after former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd during an arrest in May 2020.
The death of the black man, who yelled out that he couldn t breathe as the white police officer kneeled on his neck for 9 1/2 minutes, had sparked mass protests across the United States over racial justice.
Chauvin was found guilty of murder on Wednesday.
While some hailed it as a watershed moment, many warned that it was merely the first step towards equal justice for people of colour. Today’s verdict brings us a step closer to making equal justice under law a reality, said US Vice President Kamala Harris after the verdict was read. But the verdict will not heal [the] pain that has existed for generations.

Far-Right Will Use Government-Backed Race Report ‘As A Cover’ For Racism, Campaigners Warn
Hope Not Hate told HuffPost UK the review was “dangerous”, as a leading equality think-tank said it was “littered with racist tropes”.
The controversial government-backed report which claimed institutional racism does not exist in the UK will be used as a “cover” by the far-right to “peddle their own racism”, anti-racism campaigners have warned.
Hope Not Hate said the report contains a number of views that are often echoed in far-right groups, as well as right-wing media and on the right of the Conservative Party.
But the far right in particular will use the findings to “deny racism exists” and validate their own narrative of “white people being the real victims of racism”, which could lead to a rise in political and physical attacks on those who strive for racial equality, the campaigners said.
