From the Daily Mail: Angry residents living near an Essex migrant hotel say they will stop paying council tax after the High Court ruling allowing the asylum seekers to stay.
The Bell Hotel, in Epping, became the epicentre of protests that swept the country last month after a migrant boarder was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
The continued protests led the local council to obtain a landmark High Court injunction to block the Home Office from placing any more migrants at the hotel.
The ruling immediately led to dozens of councils across the country saying they too will launch similar High Court bids to stop the Home Office filling hotels in their areas with migrants.
But anti-migrant protesters received a crushing blow on Friday, when three High Court judges overturned the Bell Hotel injunction, meaning the 138 migrants staying there will no longer be removed by September 12th.
Now British citizens across the country are rising up in protest, with many declaring they will stop paying their council tax, even it it means they are thrown in jail.
“Our children return to school tomorrow. What is the point of paying our council tax if it is being directly used to fund a place which houses alleged sex attackers?” one furious mother, identified as Sarah White, declared.
“We need to take a stand. Enough is enough. Our taxes are funding the hotel, the police and all the costs associated with it. That’s not what it should be for,” the mother of 3 added.
According to a post on X by Reform candidate Orla Minihane, Sarah was arrested by U.K. police Sunday night, for holding up a British flag during a protest.

Elon Musk commented on the incident, writing, “This is crazy.”

British protesters then angrily confronted the police as traitors and scum.
British politician and leader of the Reform Party, Nigel Farage, posted a video and voiced his outrage, as the liberal Labour Party literally agreed with a statement that the rights of asylum seekers are more important than the rights of the local British citizens.
Labour has finally admitted they believe the rights of illegal migrants are more important than the rights of local people in Epping.
