I am actually surprised to not see any discussions around this topic considering this is a predominantly British forum. If last summer in Britain was all about Southport attacks and protests that followed after, summer of 2025 will always be remembered for Asylum seeker hotel. This time however it is not stopping and only flaring up more and more with every passing day.

Chronology of events

13 July
: Protests erupted outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, after an asylum seeker was arrested and charged with sexual offences involving a 14-year-old girl. Demonstrators chanted slogans like “Save our kids” and “Send them home,” with violent disorder emerging that night. Six people were arrested.

17 July: A second protest turned violent again—with fireworks, eggs, and attempts to damage police vehicles. Two arrests were made.

20 July: A substantial protest involving roughly 1,500 people, mainly women, staged a march. Later in the evening, clashes resumed and six people were arrested. Far-right figures, including Nick Tenconi (UKIP leader) and representatives of extremist groups, were present.

Late July: The protest movement spread to other towns—Diss (Norfolk), Canary Wharf (London), Leeds, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Bowthorpe, and Glasgow—where anti-migrant demonstrations and counter-protests took place. Some passed peacefully, others had arrests or minor disorder.

From late July through August, protests under the “Abolish Asylum System” banner spread across more than a dozen towns and cities: Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Horley, Tamworth, Mold, Aberdeen, and others. In Bristol’s Castle Park, mounted police intervened amid scuffles and one arrest for assaulting an emergency worker. In Liverpool, around 11 arrests were made, with charges including affray and public disorder.

The High Court issued a temporary injunction on the Bell Hotel, stopping its use for asylum accommodation by 12 September—triggering further protests.

The Labour government, led by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, quickly appealed the ruling—emphasising that hotels remain essential for managing asylum housing and warning of fragmented disruptions if the injunction stood.

On 2 days ago, the Court of Appeal overturned the injunction, allowing asylum seekers to remain housed at the Bell Hotel.

Simultaneously, the government unveiled broader policy plans to tighten family reunion criteria, overhaul appeals by incorporating panels of experts (rather than judges), and continue enforcement against smuggling—while reiterating the goal to phase out hotel use by 2029.

31 August, a protest in London’s Canary Wharf escalated: four people arrested, a police officer was punched, and pepper spray was deployed.


 
Elon Musk has been tweeting a lot about this the last few days. What is his motivation here ?
He is an agitator but seems to have something against the UK in particular the Labour Government.

Most of the foundations for the current crisis were laid by the 14 years of Conservative Rule, yet, a lot of the ire seems to be directed at the current Labour government, who have only really inherited the current system.

It's quite calculated.

He resigned in 2007.

The country is facing turmoil primarily due to Brexit.

People are being whipped into a frenzy to protest against asylum seekers, as if all the asylum seekers disappeared, that Karen's teeth will regrow and she will be able to get a job.
 
"A substantial protest involving roughly 1,500 people,"

This is a tiny number. Protests in UK have attracted upto 1 million. The Pro Palestine protests regularly see over 100k on a bad day in London.

Most of the UK, Europe and US are owned by Zionists/Israel. They are paying their donkeys like Robinson to spread further hate/divide to keep the news media/people occupied while they commit a genocide.

Sure there are people(young men) coming on boats but its worldwide. You dont see other numpties running around with flags over such a small issue.

Sadly there is a large minority of white working class people who are easily fooled. Most are miserable with their own lives and this gives them some sort of feeling of importance.

Most towns/cities have not and will not be seeing this, the mainstream are over stating this as always.

Same thing in Australia

Have no idea of Australia but again its the same forces.

You live in the UK, its not the 50's and 60's, these nutters cannot walk into any major town or city and scare minorities. Like the EDL before, once they start violence they will get a good hiding and crawl back...

Its also an agenda to get Reform into power, they want Europe to be governed by the far right.

Sadly some of these clowns will attack some vulnerable people of colour, elderly women etc.

The English/British invaded much of the world, looted and pillaged, installed dictators etc, yet some of their uneducated fools think they are the victims lol
