CANNOCK, UK (AA) - Clashes erupted in Staffordshire, UK on Saturday after a pro-migration demonstration was interrupted by a far-right group.

The Cannock Chase Welcomes Refugees group gathered in the Cannock town center on Saturday morning. They were interrupted at noon by the far-right Patriotic Alternative supporters.

Police formed a wall between the opposing groups as they raised slogans.

Previously, there was similar confrontation in Cannock where two hotels are housing unaccompanied asylum-seekers.

Earlier this week, the UK government introduced a bill in parliament to stop asylum seekers from crossing the English Channel in small boats.

If approved, the legislation would enable the detention of people for the first 28 days after arrival.
