A FASCIST protest outside an asylum-seeker hotel in Scotland has sparked calls for the Home Secretary to do more to crack down on far-right extremism in Britain. 

Scottish Greens MSP Maggie Chapman has written a letter to Suella Braverman to express her concern at a demo organised by white nationalist group Patriotic Alternative in the Renfrewshire town of Erskine on February 5.

The protest targeting a hotel where asylum-seekers are being housed was reportedly attended by figures with links to National Action, a banned neonazi group.
