Police deny driving counter-protesters to asylum hotel demonstration

Essex Police denies 'bussing' pro-refugee protesters to asylum hotel and condemns violence during clashes with rival protesters in Epping. Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington refutes claims of officers inflaming tensions and provides a cordon for peaceful protests. Ten arrests were made after violence broke out, with four men charged with disorder. Future protests are monitored, as misinformation online has real-world consequences, following protests over an asylum seeker charged with sexual offenses living in the hotel.
