Protesters are set to rally in Kent again this weekend - targeting another facility being used to house asylum-seeking children.

Posts on social media are promoting an anti-immigration demonstration in Canterbury on Saturday, where a counter-protest is also being organised.

Police say they are in contact with the organisers and will have “sufficient resources in place” to keep disruption to a minimum.

A Facebook post by Jodie Missuskent - a singer with 28,000 followers who has performed at recent rallies in Maidstone and Faversham - advertises it as a “peaceful march & protest at Connors house”.

Connors House is a former care home in Craddock Road, now used by Kent County Council (KCC) to house unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), many of whom arrive in Britain via small boats across the Channel.

The post says the “muster point” is at Westgate Towers at 10am at the end of the cathedral city’s main drag, with plans to begin the march shortly after.

On the weekend of September 6, Faversham saw similar protests with anti-immigration demonstrators marching from the town centre to Acacia Court - also a former care home now housing asylum-seeking children.

Harry Hilden, one of the organisers of the Faversham demo, has also promoted the Canterbury march on social media.

In a video uploaded to Facebook, he says he wants to make sure “everyone is on their best behaviour, and let’s show our support”.

The previous demonstration in Faversham saw anti-immigration protesters clash with left-wing counter-demonstrators from organisations such as Faversham Against Racism.

KentOnline revealed several days after the demo that police are investigating reports of “assault, threats and spitting” from that day.

The recent increase in protests around Kent and the country comes after controversy around the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, which is being used to house asylum seekers.

An Ethiopian asylum seeker living there was charged and later found guilty of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

Since then, there have been many protests around the country, often centred on asylum hotels and other places used to house asylum seekers.

Additionally, the St George’s Cross and Union Flags have been hung from lampposts around Kent and the country in recent weeks as a display of anti-immigration and anti-government sentiment, dubbed ‘Operation Raise the Colours’.

Another protest in Folkestone has also been promoted on social media, showing pictures of Napier Barracks in Cheriton and suggesting demonstrators will muster there at 11am on Saturday, September 27.

Counter protesters are being organised to oppose the anti-immigration march in Canterbury this weekend.

Steve Wilkins, of Kent Stand Up to Racism, said his organisation is meeting at Connors House at 10.30am where a counter-protest will be held.

“Essentially, what we are faced with is fascist and neo-nazi groups,” he claimed.

“They are the people who are really behind much of the anti-immigrant demonstrations - it’s not just a simple question of concerned locals.

“They’re organised by these small groups with the intention of intimidating asylum seekers and others and we’re not going to allow it basically. We’re going to oppose them wherever we can.”

Following the Faversham march, some who attended criticised Kent Police for not having enough officers at the initial meeting point outside the town’s Post Office.

But the force insists it will have enough officers in Canterbury on Saturday to manage the planned march.

A spokesperson said: “The force is in contact with the organisers and will have sufficient resources in place to both facilitate peaceful protests and keep any disruption to the wider public to a minimum.”
