Councils across England are poised to take legal action to remove asylum seekers from hotels in their areas.

It follows the High Court granting a district council a temporary injunction to block asylum seekers from lodging at The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex.

All 10 councils controlled by Reform UK will "do everything in their power to follow Epping's lead", the party's leader Nigel Farage said. A Conservative-run council in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, also said it is considering taking similar action.

Writing in the Telegraph, Farage urged people "concerned about the threat posed by young undocumented males living in local hotels" to "follow the example of the town in Essex" in peaceful protest.

This is like a Supreme court ruling. A precedent has been set and the judge even refused an appeal.

Huge Win [for now]!

Yes, it’s a legal win, but I expect the government to find some sneaky way to stop it from being enforced. Maybe pass some law that “municipalities that publicly express racial hatred are ineligible for federal funds”.

The 1 thing we know all too well, that side of the aisle doesn’t like to be told “no”.

The UK’s Deep State is stalling until after Trump’s visit is over.

Then God help the UK.
