Epping ruling lights the fuse on migrant hotels crisis across Britain
A judge’s decision to close an asylum hotel in Epping Forest has sparked a wave of anti-migrant protests and legal copycat cases across Britain. Councils are now using the ruling as a template to challenge hotel accommodation for asylum seekers. Around 32,000 people in 200 hotels are affected, with police increasing patrols amid rising tensions. The political stakes are growing as Reform UK surges in polls.
