14:10Now PlayingKaterina Vittozzi meets some of the characters behind West Yorkshire’s migrant protests, including a grandmother stepping out to demonstrate for the first time and a controversial founder of a grassroots group trying to mobilise opposition.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll also speak with counter-protestors, but today, we meet Dinah, a grandmother of two who has joined those calling on asylum hotels to close.
"She was, like many of the protesters we met, initially sceptical about speaking to a journalist.”
