Sky's Tom Parmenter has been to Hull and found genuine resentment and anger over the perceived strain placed on local services by asylum seekers and politicians ignoring concerns of local people.
When Sir Keir Starmer described the riots as "far-right thuggery", James believes he failed to grasp what was happening.
"I have seen people crying in doorways... they are cold, and they are hungry... who is helping the English-born people?" he asks. "What I am not is a racist person... I just look at the pain in people's eyes sometimes and you think, 'What the hell? What is going on?' "Their [migrants'] problems are getting solved but nobody is solving the problem of the people who are living on the streets."
For the past two and half years, Donna has been homeless. She purposefully hides herself away under a road bridge most nights so nobody can attack her.
"Where I am it's so dark that nobody is going to be able to see me," she says. "Every time you think you are getting back up... there is something or someone who kicks you back down again. "England is the place that has got a big sign for people that says 'Freebies', come in and we'll get you in a hotel - that is the way it comes across to people."
