The high court ruled that illegal migrants must be moved from the Bell Hotel in Epping as it's been deemed unsafe.

Other councils are now intending to follow suit.

A victory for those protesters, and proof that taking to the street can be effective.

This news isn't good because protests will now increase.

Personally, I think the original judgement was more likely to lead to increased protests as it sent the message that protests work.

Most people I know are concerned about people coming by boat or illegal means but don’t go out protesting.

People will vote at the ballot boxes. If there was a GE tomorrow I think Reform would win. I even think lots of people would secretly vote Reform but won’t say it publicly.

As I say, most people won’t protest especially if they fear they will lose their job. I’m a civil servant. If I was shown on camera protesting I could be sacked.
