Of the thousands of bankers in Canary Wharf, only one crossed the footbridge to the newly designated migrant hotel opposite the district’s glass towers, curious to witness the commotion.
Metal fencing surrounded the entrance of the Britannia Hotel, guarded by a wall of police and a private security guard in a surgical mask. Territorial support vans crawled past. It was hard to escape the feeling that a great crime had been committed.
Police Escorted “Anti-Racist” protesters. Civil war soon? No crystal ball but to my view the French riot better than the English or Germans.
Just as quickly as they’ve arrived, the Stand Up To Racism rent-a-mob have left their cages outside the Bell Hotel in Epping. From start to finish, they were outside for approximately 50 minutes! Back to the tube station for them now, to wherever they came from (not here) pic.twitter.com/87eoPD6YF4
