A member of the Raise the Colours flag campaign group said he was "not ashamed" of attending a protest outside a Midland hotel used to house asylum seekers - and would do the same again.

Elliott Stanley was seen at a protest in Solihull over the summer, with footage showing him gesturing at anti-racists who were declaring refugees were welcome. He was also recorded saying: "They shouldn't be here".

The 44-year-old said his views on unvetted and undocumented males coming to the UK and being housed at public expense were "not a contentious thought process."
