PM overcomes protests in Cannock to meet students for college tour
There was a heavy police presence outside Cannock College when the Prime Minister paid a visit.
A large group of pro-Palestine protestors played loud music, waved banners and chanted as Rishi Sunak arrived to tour the college's engineering and other departments.
No arrests were made but the group was still present an hour later when the Prime Ministerial car left Staffordshire to head back to London.
The landmark Roman Way hotel in Cannock housed asylum seekers for two years until December last year and the group were also protesting about their removal.
Rosie Jones, who lives in Cannock said: "They were turfed out over Christmas to be put in strange communities over the festive period with very little notice and the government have shown blatant disregard for the plight of refugees.
