People are “sick to the back teeth” of the growing migrant crisis in Britain and the “broken” asylum system, a political commentator has claimed.
Speaking to GB News, Theo Usherwood declared that people “have a right to be concerned” about the ongoing migration situation.
Thousands of protesters are set to take to the nation’s streets today in more than a dozen locations across the country, as demonstrations against the use of migrant hotels continue to escalate.
During an anti-migrant protest in Altrincham, Stand Up to Racism protesters swarmed GB News North West Reporter Sophie Reaper, hitting her on the head with a placard.

| Theo Usherwood has declared Britain’s asylum system is ‘broken’ as anti-migrant protests are set to take place today
Discussing the state of Britain’s escalating protests, Usherwood told GB News: “It is problematic. People have a right to be concerned, they have a right to make their voice heard, but they have to do so peacefully, and they have to do so within the confines of the law.
“What we can’t have is a situation where we have riot police having to step in with metal objects being thrown and people’s lives being put in danger.”
Noting that those who wish to stir up violence at peaceful protests should “stay away”, Usherwood added: “I’d have thought the easiest way for those who are against these protests outside the migrant hotels would be to stay away.
“And if the protests pass off peacefully, then they’re perfectly legitimate and okay.”

The sheer egregiousness of this government is further proved by the comment from the Home Office “The proscription of Palestine Action is not about Palestine nor does it affect the freedom to protest about Palestine rights……” There we have it – now we KNOW for a fact that the Home Office has an interest not only in twisting the facts of history, but in giving consent, tacit or otherwise, for this Israel hating and quite frankly Jew hating entity to impose their views and reprehensible behaviour freely on the rest of us. All British citizens who love this country should be clamouring for a General Election and the removal of this stain on politics of a government, and its useful idiot for islamism – Keir Starmer.

Reading the thoughts of a GB News viewer about the protests, host Anne Diamond revealed that three young daughters of a viewer attended an anti-migrant protest in Leicester, due to concerns for their safety.
Anne told Usherwood: “John said ‘last night my three daughters went down to a hotel demonstration in Leicester. For my three girls to take part in the first demonstration of their lives shows you the anger and feelings going through the country. The British people want all migration stopped into this country. We are suffering ourselves with the cost of living. And women are scared to even take their dogs for a walk because of what might happen to them. Girls are being approached outside schools, being asked their phone numbers, this is not right’.”
Responding to John’s story, Usherwood agreed: “People are sick to the back teeth of what’s happening.
“The Government has decided that it wants to operate within the confines of the European Convention on Human Rights, it has done away with the Rwanda plan, which is Keir Starmer’s prerogative as Prime Minister to do that.
“And the Government has its reasons for doing so, but there is no sign at the moment of the problem abating.”
Criticising Britain’s “broken system”, Usherwood concluded: “We’re seeing record numbers of people crossing the English Channel and criminal gangs are continuing to profit.
“I noticed that the Home Office has put out a press release saying that there’s been a national crackdown on illegal working and several hundred people have been arrested, but the problem is the system is broken, and that once those people have been arrested and been processed, they’re simply bailed back to go back to their hotels.
“And that’s the difficulty the Government is facing, the system just doesn’t work.”
