A High Court judge has granted a temporary injunction blocking asylum seekers from being housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping Forest. The Home Office made a last-ditch bid to intervene in the legal battle, but was rejected by the High Court. It follows weeks of protests…
UPDATE: Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said:
“This ruling is a moment of relief for the people of Epping. Residents should never have had to fight their own government just to feel safe in their own town. Local residents have every right to feel safe in their own streets and every right to object when their community is treated like this.”
Nigel Farage says:
“This is a victory for the parents and concerned residents of Epping. They do not want their young women being assaulted on the streets. This community stood up bravely, despite being slandered as far right, and have won. They represent the vast majority of decent people in this country. Young, undocumented males who break into the UK illegally should NOT be free to walk the streets anywhere. They must be detained and deported. I hope that Epping provides inspiration to others across the country.”
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
