Try this Twitter account run by people who actually live in Epping: It posts an interview on BBC Radio Essex with a mother of young children who lives in a house directly opposite the Bell Hotel and her experience with these “protesters”. It’s really worth a listen. -
Given what I’ve said about him, not sure why he “agreed” with my earlier post @spartacus noone on here is suggesting anyone is “punched in the balls”. On here. Like linehan has done and he was apprehended and charged just like that labour councillor was. So all is above board @angelina im sorry but your posts are making less and less sense as the thread goes on. Who should we be reading? What interviews specifically do you recommend? -

I haven't suggested that everyone at these 'demonstrations' is racist (although certainly there are some people with histories of violent racism who have been involved in organising the 'raise the colours' campaign). I do think that the demonstrations are fundamentally xenophobic in nature. Clearly there is a fear that immigrants pose a particular risk to children and others. I think this is misguided and we know that some of it is being driven by misinformation, false 'research reports' and made up data (by the likes of the 'centre for migration control', a front for Reform). No one wants a hotel used to house asylum seekers who are being held in limbo for long periods of time. But attacking the asylum seekers and setting fire to hotels isn't making that point.
