"We are not happy with these men in this hotel because we fear for our children," Orla Minihane tells me. "If that makes me far-right then so be it."
Orla has lived near Epping since she was a child and describes herself as a "very boring woman who has worked in the City of London for 25 years". Last year she joined Reform UK and hopes to stand as a local candidate for the party.
On a busy road leading to the Essex town, The Bell Hotel, now fortified, is one of more than 200 across the country where the government houses asylum seekers.
In the last month a series of protests, sometimes totalling several hundred people from both sides - and on one occasion up to 2,000 according to Essex Police - have taken place over the use of hotels for asylum seekers. About 20 more were planned for Friday and Saturday this week.
The latest round of demonstrations began at the 80-room Bell in July, after a man living in the hotel was arrested, and subsequently charged, with sexual assault, harassment and inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity. Hadush Kebatu, 41, from Ethiopia, has denied the offences and is in custody.
The case has sparked a wider conversation about the effect of housing asylum seekers in hotels in communities across Britain.

The elites illegally import criminals and then demand courts shrink the protections on the accused to claim more power for themselves over the citizens.
“asylum seekers”
People who use this term, with a straight face, should be flogged.
Natives of the asylum countries are now being terrorized by them.
This Is Globohomo
I’m sure the Brit police will speak to these men if they get out of line
No more Asylum. Freeloading Socialists need to start fighting for their own countries and stop climbing on the backs of those who fought for theirs.
> The Bell Hotel, now fortified… <
I’m not an expert at this sort of thing. But I’m guessing that if you have to fortify your hotels, there is something wrong with your country.
> Brawndo, now fortified… <
Crazy British crazy use of the English language. Somebody needs to have a talk with those guys.
ppl have had enough...
Yeah, the elites who think they can insulate themselves from the illegals forever.
Totally delusional.
Orla, who did you vote for? Did you carry a welcome sign for them? Hope you’re locked and loaded... oops, never mind. Maybe you have a sharp garden tool... oops, the other day a guy coming home from his veg allotment was arrested because he had garden tools in the company brand carriers.

Even pepper spray is illegal in the UK. However, you can carry a whistle. And that’s what the British police officially recommend for self-defense. A whistle.
Way too late: the UK is gone, as is much of Europe.
“On a busy road leading to the Essex town, The Bell Hotel, now fortified, is one of more than 200 across the country where the government houses asylum seekers. “
I don’t know if that’s insanity or garden variety suicide.
ALLOWING THEM INTO THE COUNTRY IS THE FIRST MISTAKE.
KICK THEM ALL OUT.
I WOULD THINK TOURISM IN THE UK HAS TAKEN A TERRIBLE HIT.
Fourteen posts and no mention of islam or muslims.
Sheesh.
The coming Civil War in the UK...

The UK is becoming like Afghanistan. The only thing left to do is for all the infidels to become Muslim.
They will eventually do that.
I afraid that you’re right.
Once that happens, maybe they’ll wake up in Western Europe. Nations like Spain — they had to deal with the Reconquista for centuries.
What I find remarkable about the affair is the attitude within certain British media that it’s somehow improper or close-minded for people to be outraged at the abuse of their children. “Sure, it’s awful but you can’t say anything about it because it might hurt someone’s feelings.” Unless they get a clue they’re going to be wagging their fingers at the hurting of a lot more than feelings.
