Police guard damaged Holiday Inn Express in Tamworth day after riots

Police were today (Mon) guarding the damaged migrant hotel in Tamworth, Staffordshire, hours after rioters set it on fire.

A far-right mob tried torching the Holiday Inn Express on Sunday evening as violent anti-migrant protests swept the UK.

Footage shared on social media showed masked thugs hurling bricks and bottles at the hotel as asylum seekers inside watched from their windows.

Many members of the mob were seen wearing black face coverings and were heard chanting: "Whose streets? Our streets."
