Council votes to close protested Epping hotel

Protesters are set to march from The Bell Hotel in Epping to the council's offices as councillors are set to discuss the controversial hotel. There has been a series of demonstrations outside the Bell Hotel in Epping since an asylum seeker was charged with sexual assault this month.

Epping Forest District Council will meet for a pre-planned meeting in which they are set to discuss a motion calling for the immediate and permanent closure of the Bell Hotel and Phoenix Hotel, which was subjected to an alleged arson incident.

Both hotels have housed asylum seekers and been involved in incidents which the council says "have caused significant fear, anger, and distress among local residents". There have been a number of demonstrations outside The Bell Hotel in the past few weeks.

The protests came after an asylum seeker, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with sexual assault after allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. He denied the charges when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court last week and he is due to stand trial in August.

Essex Police Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington said that officers had made 10 arrests following the protests. The force said on Tuesday that four men have been charged with violent disorder and a fifth man charged with failing to remove a face covering when directed.

A good analysis as well

There are several hotels being taken over.

Change the accents and you’d think it was NYC during Biden.

This is the 2nd link I meant to post in my earlier comment. (But, accidentally posted the same link twice)

It’s a review of what’s going on at the hotels

The Epping that I know of is northeast of London (England) and is the farthest reach of the London Underground in that direction.

Change the accents and you’d think it was NYC a year ago. It’s taking place all over the UK, but it’s picking up. Makes me wonder if (potential US) migrants are being routed to the UK instead since our border is closed.

That’s how media refers to illegal immigrants… They whitewash the truth every time.

Interesting that it’s only young adult men who need ‘asylum’. They all left the women and kids at home to fend for themselves.

Isn’t it though? 🤔
That’s because it’s an invasion, not people looking for a better life. And it’s happening in every single country
