Video footage filmed by asylum seekers inside a Rotherham Holiday Inn Express shows far-right rioters making threatening gestures as they surround the premises. The protesters stormed the hotel and attempted to set it ablaze. Police eventually pushed back the crowds and evacuated the asylum seekers, with 10 officers injured in the clashes. Rioting and disorder has continued in the wake of the killing of three young girls at a dance class in Southport on Monday 29 July.
