Protests at the Bell Hotel have been ongoing since July, when an illegal migrant staying there was arrested and charged with multiple offences, including the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl. The recent court ruling has intensified local anger, with protesters accusing authorities of ignoring their concerns.

Reform UK candidate Orla Minihane, a protest organiser, told attendees that “the council has let us down” and accused the Government of prioritising migrants over British citizens. Sarah White compared the demonstrations to historic uprisings, urging the crowd to “refuse to pay the [BBC] license fee” and “council taxes.” White was then arrested after attempting to place a flag on the council building, sparking clashes between protesters and police.

“The arrest is on suspicion of breaching a Section 14 order,” a police spokesman said – referring to legislation police chiefs can use to impose restrictions on protests they believe could result in “serious public disorder.”

Local voices expressed outrage at the court’s decision, with commentator Adam Brooks calling it a “disgrace.” Many questioned the impartiality of presiding judge Lord Justice Bean, citing his ties to the far-left Labour Party and the further-left Fabian Society. Others echoed Nigel Farage’s criticism of the Government’s use of the ECHR against local residents.
