Asylum hotels latest: Number of migrants in hotels rises under Labour but deportations up by 25%

What’s next? While ministers digest the high court on the use of a hotel that hosts asylum seekers, they have very limited options in front of them, none of them are good. The Supreme Court should not be attacked because it makes a decision that does not take into account politics and even practicality, because this is not its job. Still, it made a bad situation much worse.

In such cases, it is not useful for Nigel Farage to benefit from a sensitive and sometimes flammable situation by calling for more peaceful protests. From bitter experiences, we know how such demonstrations can become small disorders or worse. In fact, considering the power of the Supreme Court decision, there is currently less need for such protests.

Instead, Mr. Farage and his assistant Richard Tice, as usual, play on people’s fears, and at best they are likely to be irresponsible and at worst in dangerously. Mr. Farage’s interventions on the uprisings last year contributed only to the disinformation campaign and apologized for claiming that the latest ESSEX police in EPPING “entering the bus”.
