  + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
A former bank building in Kirkby, Liverpool, in the north of England, is being refurbished for use as offices and is not being converted to house asylum seekers, as social media users claim. Posts circulating online say the former bank building, which is currently being refurbished, is to be converted to house “up to 2,000 asylum seekers” without the knowledge of the public. It said proposals to house asylum seekers would require planning approval from the council, with planning approval subject to public consultation. The building is in fact being promoted as office accommodation, according to Knowsley Council and agents for the building. A former Barclaycard building in Liverpool is being refurbished for use as offices, not to house asylum seekers, according to Knowsley Council and surveyors for the building.

A years-old video of lions strolling between cars was captured at a safari park in the English town of Prescot. It does not show animals released by protesters in Paris following the fatal police shooting of a teenager of north African descent on June 27. A tweet linking a video of lions to the protests in France has garnered at least 1,100 retweets (archive.fo/5Y12j). Knowsley Safari Park said in an email that the clip in question shows its premises. This clip has been online since at least 2020 and was recorded at Knowsley Safari Park in England.

☆ Fact Check-Vehicle set alight outside British hotel was a police van and therefore exempt from MOT testing
  + stars: | 2023-02-13 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
The MOT status of a police van that was set alight outside a British hotel housing asylum seekers has been baselessly used by social media users to imply the violence was staged. The vehicle, with registration PO15 AEC, was set on fire during a protest outside Suites Hotel in Knowsley near Liverpool on Feb. 10. An MOT refers to an annual test of cars in Britain to ensure safety, roadworthiness, and to check emissions (here and here). The status of a vehicle’s MOT certificate can be checked online via its registration number www.check-mot.service.gov.uk . Under Regulation 6 (1) (xiv) of The Motor Vehicles (Tests) Regulations 1981, vehicles maintained in a government-approved workshop are exempt from MOT testing (here).

LONDON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - British police arrested three people late on Friday after a protest outside a hotel providing refuge to asylum seekers turned violent. Demonstrators threw missiles towards police officers and damaged a police vehicle following an initially peaceful protest and counter-protest in Knowsley near Liverpool in north-west England, police said. Footage from social media showed a police van set on fire and hundreds gathered at the site of the protests. Knowsley Council, the local government authority in the area, said the protests happened outside a hotel housing asylum seekers since January last year.
