The situation in Australia comes at a time when tensions related to immigration and asylum policy increase on the other side of the globe, namely in the UK. In the island kingdom of King Charles III. It bubbles tensions due to hotels for asylum seekers. Part of the population shows that they want a fundamental change in the approach of its government – the Labor Government Keira Starmer – to asylum seekers. People began to call for the abolition of these hostels and did not hide the fact that they disagree with their government for too helpful access to migrants.
Some people show that because of behavior, or rather rude, some asylum seekers are afraid of their children. In Perth, Scotland, people protested a few days ago with banners with the inscription “emptied hotels” hitting hotels intended for asylum seekers. Opposition conservatives also call after their cancellation.
However, even British streets witness the conflict of narratives. There are also groups of people stressing that asylum seekers need to help and that they are welcome in the UK.
Activist Tommy Robinson, who has been punished several times by a British judiciary, for example, for contempt for a court, pointed out in connection with current protests that people were establishing civil patrols and trying to bhargate over security in the streets. “The locals have set up their own night patrols to ensure the safety of their streets,” Robinson wrote on the video he shared on the X -Social Network.
