An all-female anti-immigration protest group calling themselves 'The Pink Ladies' has descended on east London on Wednesday to protest against asylum seekers being housed in hotels. The group previously marched from Parliament Square to Downing Street on October 1, calling on Sir Keir Starmer to make women's safety a priority.
During the demonstration, held outside the Tower Hamlets council offices on Whitechapel Road from 5pm, one of the protesters, Sarah White, verbally clashed with a pro-Palestine activist. In the exchange, recorded by the Daily Express, Ms White can be heard telling the pro-Palestine activist "our children are the most vulnerable". As the row continued, he is then heard asking "what about the children" in Gaza, to which a crowd loudly reply: "We are not talking about that!"
Tower Hamlets council oversees the borough home to hotels housing asylum seekers,including the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf, where protests have previously been held.
