Labour have declared war on the British people
Labour said the quiet part out loud. The rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of the British people.
Last week, in a High Court showdown that’ll go down as a low point in British justice, lawyers for Yvette Cooper’s Home Office stood up and argued that the “human rights of migrants by putting them in hotels outweighs the safety concerns of local families.”
Let that sink in. We’re talking about a government openly admitting that the rights of *illegal* migrants matters more than the rights wellbeing of tax-paying Brits. It’s not just tone-deaf; it’s a slap in the face to every parent in Epping who’s spent the summer glancing over their shoulder. It’s vile. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for Labour to sink any lower, but here we are.
The Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, has been repurposed as a taxpayer-funded accommodation for around 138 illegal migrants – mostly young men who crossed the Channel illegally. There have been a string of alleged crimes linked to its residents which understandably sparked off peaceful protests.
The latest? An Ethiopian illegal migrant, Hadush Kebatu, charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old schoolgirl and other offences, including attempting to kiss her after following her. Then there’s Mohammed Sharwarq, accused of multiple sexual assaults.
No wonder the good people of Epping – mums, dads, kids – have been protesting peacefully for weeks. They’re not far-right thugs, as MSM and Labour would have you believe; they’re decent law abiding, hardworking taxpayers demanding their town back and for the government to keep their children safe.
Epping Forest District Council won a temporary injunction to shut the hotel down on planning grounds – the hotel wasn’t being used as a hotel anymore, after all, but as a de facto asylum centre. The order would’ve forced the removal of illegal migrants from the hotel by mid-September. But the Home Office appealed, and on Friday, the Court of Appeal sided with them. The full hearing is in October, so Labour are not out of the woods yet.
If the case wins then, it could unleash a domino effect nationwide, with dozens of local authorities – reports say at least 22 are gearing up for similar legal action to close down hotels housing illegal migrants. Imagine that: a colossal, nationwide chain reaction dismantling this absurd system where we shell out billions housing people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.
No doubt if this happened Labour will put them all in HMOs - like they are already, including luxury £300k townhouses. Another huge pull factor, just like the hotels.
But here’s where it gets truly vile. The Home Office didn’t just win on technicalities; their lawyers made the argument that the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of the locals in Epping.
If that wasn’t bad enough, on ‘Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips’, Bridget Phillipson unbelievably doubled down. She was asked if she agreed with the Home Office. She replied “Yes, of course we do”.
She felt comfortable enough to say this on national TV. I couldn’t believe what I was watching. I’m still in disbelief.
In my view this was a big moment. Labour have have picked a side, and it’s not ours. Confirmation we are second-class citizens in our own country.

Then there’s the judge, Lord Justice Bean. Where to start?
