Asylum seekers are due to be removed from an Essex hotel after a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking them from being housed there.
The injunction was sought by Epping Forest District Council to stop migrants being placed at The Bell Hotel in Epping, which is owned by Somani Hotels Limited.
Thousands of people have protested near the hotel in recent weeks after an asylum seeker living there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in the town.
Mr Justice Eyre made his judgement after refusing an 11th-hour effort from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper to get the council's case dismissed.
All asylum seekers must be moved out of the hotel by 16:00 BST on 12 September, the judge ruled.
The Home Office had warned the decision would "substantially impact" its ability to house asylum seekers in hotels across the UK.
Protests staged outside The Bell Hotel have been attended by both people against its use for asylum seekers and those in support of migrant rights.

Don’t just close the Bell Hotel and disperse the illegals into the community, or move them to another town.
Close the Bell Hotel, and deport every single one of them. Do that, across the country, and the boats stop overnight.
Fact.
This is all just so painfully obvious.
@JackHadders
Congratulations to everyone in Epping who protested to shut
down the Bell Hotel. Direct action from British patriots actually DOES make a difference!
Now everyone knows this, the energy will spread across the country even further, until every asylum hotel is shut down!

So it’s the Labour a-holes do all they can to help the savages and fight British citizens. I would hope the people feel like idiots for handing the country to Labour. WTH were they thinking.

How is it that the UK is electing people that have a death wish for the UK?

The Home Office had warned the decision would "substantially impact" its ability to house asylum seekers in hotels across the UK. Somebody at the Home Office is a little thick. That's the point.
To: RandFan
It would make more sense if the courts ruled that asylum seekers must be removed from all hotels.

They're taking their cues from Americans who are also electing people who wish the death of the country. Ever hear of Mamdani, or the squad members:
The Squad" is a nickname for a group of progressive Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives, known for their outspoken and often left-leaning policy stances. The original members, elected in 2018, included Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. Since then, the group has expanded to include Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman
As goes America, so goes the world.

Wow, this just might be the first victory the UK has seen since WWII.

As Camp of the Saints pointed out (correctly), you have to sink the boats.
Sink the boats, or lie back and enjoy it. Those are the only two choices. All the folderol about what to do with them once they land is meaningless.
One side will live, the other side will die. Looks like the UK has made their choice.

Thanks alot for the snarky ass reply. My question was obviously rhetorical. As if I’ve never heard of the squad or Mamdani? Go be a wise ass somewhere else. ‘X’ is all about wise guys like you, you’ll fit right in.

I wonder how many of these “asylum seekers” are Muslims from Muslim countries.

Besides Australia, the U.K. also had the ‘hulks’. Old warships with the masts removed and used as floating prisons.

Thanks alot for the snarky ass reply.
You're welcome. Glad to please.
My question was obviously rhetorical.
So was my reply. Don't be so sensitive. You're going to survive.
As if I’ve never heard of the squad or Mamdani?
I mentioned them just in case you hadn't heard of them. Now you have. Did you have to look them up?
Go be a wise ass somewhere else.
No, I'm perfectly happy here. Some people need to get informed and I'm glad to do it.
‘X’ is all about wise guys like you, you’ll fit right in.
Wise? Well, I do know about wisdom, which is why I'm here to infuse you with wisdom. Is that still being a 'wise' guy? Wisdom is hard, and being a 'wise' guy is hard work. ;)
Not to worry, I'll try not to be so wise the next time. ;) I'll have to come down a few levels, though. ;)
