  • Protests outside asylum accommodation and rising right-wing extremism in Britain were used in a Government campaign to reduce illegal Kurdish migration to the UK

The article from MSN discusses the involvement of the UK government in using the Bibby Stockholm, a barge, to house asylum seekers, and the role of a far-right group in this scenario. The government has been criticized for its handling of asylum seekers, particularly through the use of the Bibby Stockholm, which has been described as a cost-cutting measure to deter migrants. The article highlights how a government-funded agency, tasked with managing the barge, inadvertently or perhaps intentionally, has been linked to far-right elements. These elements are reportedly using the situation to spread fear and misinformation among migrants, aiming to discourage them from seeking asylum in the UK. This has raised concerns about the ethical implications of outsourcing such sensitive operations to groups with extremist views, potentially exacerbating the vulnerability of asylum seekers and complicating the UK's immigration policy.
