Ministers are stoking fear and anger with anti-migrant rhetoric
As we mark the anniversary of riots that swept across the country last year, we remain severely concerned about the way in which political rhetoric is being used to demonise migrants, and 'understanding' those who are causing yet more fear at hotels – rather than the experiences of those who came here seeking safety (Epping asylum hotel protesters 'upset for legitimate reasons', minister says, 24 July). We work with people who were left terrified in their own homes by the riots. We are saddened to see violence continuing – and escalating – including at hotels, such as in Epping and other areas, the recent riots and bonfire burnings in Northern Ireland, and a rising threat of far‑right agitation. Ministers saying that they 'understand the frustrations' of those outside hotels only emboldens those who seek to spread hate and division, and leaves migrant communities in fear for their Ramadan Director, Migrant Voice Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

Border security loophole allowed Tommy Robinson to leave UK after ‘assault'
Tommy Robinson was able to leave the UK despite being 'wanted' because of a border security loophole, it has emerged. The far-Right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, allegedly assaulted a man at St Pancras station in London last week. Viral footage circulating online depicted the apparent victim lying unresponsive on the floor. Following the incident, the British Transport Police (BTP) said they were making 'arrest inquiries' before later saying a suspect wanted for questioning in connection with the alleged attack had boarded a flight and was no longer in the UK. Robinson, 42, caught a flight from London Stansted to the Spanish island of Tenerife despite being flagged as 'wanted' by police almost five hours earlier. The Sunday Times reported that the far-Right activist was waived through the Ryanair departure gate because the police alert was raised only after he had booked the flight and checked in online – the point at which passenger details are normally run past security watch lists. UK airline officials are not obliged to check whether a traveller is wanted for suspected criminality immediately before embarkation. Footage that went viral in the aftermath of the alleged attack showed Robinson looking agitated, while a man appeared to lie unconscious on the ground at St Pancras, saying: 'He f-----g come at me. He come at me bruv.' As two members of station staff attended to the man, Robinson approached an apparent witness and added: 'He come at me bruv, you saw that.' Last Monday, Robinson had been in the area to hand out leaflets to promote a 'free speech' rally he is planning to host in central London on Sept 13. The alleged assault occurred near a Thameslink platform which runs to Luton, where Robinson has a family home. It has been reported that Robinson's supporters claim that he had planned a trip abroad well in advance of the alleged assault at St Pancras. The Sunday Times said he was due to travel to Tenerife last Wednesday morning, but he moved the flight forward by 24 hours. A BTP spokesman said: 'Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station on July 28, officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of the morning. 'Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning.'
