Head of security at Essex centre for disabled asylum seekers removed over alleged far-right views

YouTube channel apparently belonging to official at Clacton accommodation suggests support for EDL and Tommy Robinson

The head of security at accommodation for vulnerable disabled asylum seekers has been removed from his duties over concerns about his alleged support for the far-right English Defence League and Tommy Robinson, the Guardian has learned.

The asylum seekers, who have a range of disabilities, have been accommodated by the Home Office in a former care home in Nigel Farage's Clacton constituency in an area where officials from the local Tendring district council have recorded the area's highest level of hate crimes.
