Protests Explode Outside Migrant Hotels Across the Country

ER Editor: A reminder of a couple of things. Protests concerning migrant hotels up and down the country have been active for some time in the UK, with youtubers filming these places to find out who is staying there and at what cost to the general public. We published on these protests HERE from July. The Bell Hotel in Epping became the test case for this problem, with a High Court injunction being issued this month to the effect that asylum seekers have until September 12 to vacate the premises. People across the country with their own troublesome local hotels are obviously seeking the same result.

We published on the latest activist trend yesterday involving patriotic flags. See —

Operation Raise the Colours: Flying the national flag has become an act of rebellion

Further, another trend has got underway, called ‘Abolish Asylum System,’ which, as the tweeted poster below indicates, has had 33 (a curious number perhaps) protests at different hotels from Friday to Sunday —

From August 8 —

This past weekend —

Friday in Liverpool and Bristol —

Spreading to Scotland —

Worth listening to (11 minutes). Useful social commentary (youtube link) —

Scanning articles and social media, it is clear that people are now confident enough to use the word ‘deport’.

And here are the Pink Ladies, another activist outgrowth —

Protests Explode Outside Migrant Hotels Across the Country as Furious Families Mass in Birmingham and London

Hotels across Dudley, Epping, London, Manchester and Norwich have also braced for protests as communities seek to replicate the ruling for The Bell Hotel which, pending an appeal, must be closed within weeks.

A group of protesters, some draped in the St George’s Cross, gathered outside the Castle Bromwich Holiday Inn in Birmingham on Sunday

It comes after more than 30 protests under the Abolish Asylum system were held in towns and cities across the UK on Saturday.

These included Bristol, Exeter, Tamworth, Cannock, Nuneaton, Liverpool, Wakefield, Newcastle, Horley, Canary Wharf, Aberdeen and Perth in Scotland and Mold in Wales. …

At least 15 people were reportedly arrested in Bristol, Liverpool and Horley, the Times reported.

On Sunday afternoon, protesters in Birmingham were seen peering through the doors of the hotel and one was seen scaling a ladder to hang a flag on a lamp post by the Holiday Inn sign.

At Canary Wharf, police officers stood at the entrance to the Britannia Hotel while security guards could also be seen standing behind full length barriers that blocked off the entrance way.

One woman was seen holding a sign that read: “Enough is Enough. Protect our women and girls.”

About 20 protesters stood quietly on the other side of the road with Union flags propped up against a fence.

A woman carried a homemade banner which read: “Tower Hamlets council house homeless Brits first” which had a St George’s flag drawn on it.

Another banner read: “Enough is enough protect our women and girls.”

The hotel, which is being used to accommodate hundreds of migrants, has often become the centre of focus for a group of female anti-migrant protesters dubbed the ‘Pink Ladies’.

The group, a faction within the wider anti-migrant movement, say they are seeking to highlight the perceived danger to women and girls by those seeking asylum.

In Stevenage, a small number of protesters were seen gathered outside of the Ibis Hotel in the town centre on Sunday.

The hotel is housing hundreds of asylum seekers and has done so since September 2022. …

Crowds of UK Independence Party (UKIP) supporters and anti-fascist demonstrators also gathered in Liverpool city centre for a “mass deportations” march, with at least 11 people were arrested.

Meanwhile in Horley (Surrey, near London), three arrests were made outside the Four Points hotel – two for breach of the peace and one for breaching the conditions of a community protection notice.

Around 200 anti-immigration protesters draped in St George and Union flags clashed with roughly 50 Stand Up to Racism protesters in Bonehurst Road.

The anti-racism protesters chanted “Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here,” and held signs calling for solidarity and to “Stop deportations.”

They were met with a torrent of abuse from the anti-migration group, one of whom yelled through a megaphone “you’re all scum and you should be ashamed” and “this wasn’t about racism”.

In Perth, a group called Abolish Asylum System held a protest outside the Radisson Blu on Saturday morning.
