EPPING, ESSEX, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 23 – Essex Police escorted about 40 pro-migrant activists to an asylum hotel amid protests triggered by assault allegations, with 10 arrests made during ensuing clashes, officials said.
- On Sunday, July 20, about 1,000 people protested outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, where asylum seekers are housed, resulting in violent clashes.
- These protests escalated after the hotel was confirmed for asylum accommodation amid increasing local tensions linked to immigration and cost-of-living concerns.
- Essex Police described the disorder as hooliganism involving injuries to officers and damage to police vehicles, with five men charged over violent offences.
- Mr. Frost said, "People have had enough" but clarified, "It's totally out of order" to condone violence, while leaders called for the hotel's closure as unsuitable.
- The events highlight deep community divisions and prompt calls for accountability, increased policing costs over £100,000, and political scrutiny of councillor conduct.
