4 d. ago Targeted by the right, Britain’s asylum hotels are places of fear and disorder. Bad political decisions made it so | Daniel Trilling

In the frenzy of racism and culture warring, the issue of why hotels are used gets overlookedA broad section of Britain’s right has spent the summer behaving as if it would like a repeat of last year’s racist riots. As politicians and commentators cry “tinderbox Britain” – are they warning us, or willing it on? – far-right extremists have been actively trying to stoke violence. This year, they have pinned their hopes on asylum hotels, an issue where public fears over crime, immigration and the welfare state conveniently converge.In some places, far-right activists have piggybacked on protests prompted by local grievances. The most significant this year was in Epping, Essex, after an alleged sexual assault by an asylum seeker led to demonstrations that turned violent when they were joined by members of various far-right groups.

As a young boy, he moved from Norway to Denmark with his parents and his brother Frederik. The change was supposed to be temporary. Tragedy, however, struck: Kristoffer, one of Einshøj’s brothers, was born with a terminal condition. His illness and later death cast a dark shadow over a once tightly knit household: they would never return to Denmark to live as a family again.Through voiceover, Einshøj recalls this painful history with profound introspection, as well as humour. Grainy home videos, largely shot by Einshøj’s father, Søren, resurface, but while Søren used his camera to preserve Kristoffer’s memories before his death, Einshøj turns to film-making as a means of reconciliation.
