New protests have broken out in response to the latest outrage perpetrated against British citizens as the government moves hundreds of migrants into a four-star hotel in London.
Amid ongoing demonstrations in Essex following the alleged sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl by an African male staying at a ‘migrant hotel’ there, U.K. authorities quietly took over the Britannia International Hotel in the posh financial district of Canary Wharf in order to pack it full of ‘asylum seekers.’
With a nightly rate averaging around $600, the 500-room Britannia might easily gross $300,000 per day if filled to capacity, indicating British taxpayers could be on the hook for an astronomical bill.
London-based reporter Jack Hadfield has been covering mounting protests outside the Britannia, where police and masked private security are patrolling a “ring of steel” erected to keep the public at bay.
“You’re seeing more and more normal people not being violent, but angrily protesting,” Hadfield told Border Hawk during an interview on Wednesday.
“It’s more powerful to have a strong, angry protest that doesn’t turn violent, because then it’s so much harder to paint it all as ‘far-right, violent, Nazi, fascist thugs,’ as opposed to angry citizens who are fed up with their government.”
