The chief constable of Essex Police said he will not resign amid criticism of his force’s handling of protests outside a migrant hotel.

Essex Police has strongly denied claims by Nigel Farage it "bussed" counter-demonstrators to a protest outside a migrant hotel in Epping.

COPS have admitted escorting pro-migrant protesters to an asylum hotel before violence erupted. Essex Police had initially denied it had brought demonstrators from Stand Up to Racism to the Bell

I don’t think anybody in London understands just how close we are to civil disobedience on a vast scale in this country,’ Mr Farage said

Far from 'concerned local citizens' protests, fascists with a history of racist violence are organising the racist pogroms in Epping.

The large group of protesters gathered outside a hotel in Canary Wharf, London, were swarmed by cops and police vans amid claims on social media that asylum seekers are being housed there. The Daily Express understands that no asylum seekers are being housed in the hotel and there are no plans to do so.

A third protest against the use of Epping's Bell Hotel as a refuge for asylum seekers took place last night (July 20). Protests erupted outside the Bell Hotel after a resident, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was charged with sexual offences in relation to a teenage girl.

Between the protesters and those housed inside The Bell Hotel in Epping, around 50 police officers in riot gear lined up beside eight riot vans.
