Locals are being smeared as far right and racist by posh, privileged so-called socialists.
For over a week, protests have rumbled outside a taxpayer-funded refugee hotel in Epping, Essex. Protesters, mostly local, have been angered by allegations an Ethiopian migrant housed at the Bell Hotel sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl. The unrest was further fuelled by the hotel’s proximity to a local school, and the fact that the suspect had arrived on a small boat just eight days prior to being charged.
Lovely people in Epping. What a surprise that there was a peaceful protest without masked opposition being escorted by the police.
