Protesters gathered outside the Bell Hotel in Epping for a 5th time this weekend - and there were also demonstrations outside other migrant hotels in several more towns around the UK. Andy went to Epping to see the protest for himself - and to find out if the far-right is trying to exploit the legitimate concerns local people have about these hotels and illegal immigration.
Hear what happened when Andy confronted Callum Barker - a prominent member of the far-right Homeland Party - at Sunday's protest. Andy's also joined by Joe Mulhall from campaign group Hope Not Hate, who explains how the extreme right is trying to weaponise illegal immigration across the UK.
Meanwhile, Neil dials in from Australia to give his verdict on whether we might see widespread unrest and even riots in Britain this summer.
