I stated here at Jihad Watch a day before the news broke of the Starmer government’s panic over where to place migrants: Epping Forest District Council officials asked a judge to temporarily block migrants from being accommodated at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, because of “unprecedented levels of protest and disruption.” They should have done it out of a sense of duty, instead of in response to an escalation of outrage. Thousands were protesting, some aggressively, while Essex police eventually admitted to escorting pro-migrant protesters to the asylum hotel. The court victory is a significant development in recognizing that British taxpayers have taken enough abuse from their leaders. Their pushback has finally yielded a response.
The immediate question was what now? Where would the socialist Starmer government put all these illegal migrants? The Starmer government has apparently decided to solve its dilemma by dumping on British citizens even more than before, and flooding neighborhoods with mostly Muslim illegal migrants. As Robert Spencer often asks, “What could possibly go wrong?”
This latest Starmer government stunt is yet another indication of why its popularity has bottomed out.
“UK Gov’t Panic: Contacts Private Residencies to House Hotel Migrants Amid Legal Challenges,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart,
In an act of apparent desperation, Britain’s left-wing government has begun contacting thousands of private rental properties to potentially house tens of thousands of supposed asylum seekers after a legal challenge threatens to quash the use of hotels to house mostly young male illegals in local communities.
The UK’s asylum accommodation programme was thrown into chaos this week, as the High Court ruled in favour of the Epping Forest district council to shut down the controversial Bell Hotel, which sparked a wave of anti-mass migration protests after one of its residents, an illegal alien from Ethiopia, allegedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl in Essex….
Although the government gave the impression of being flustered about its next steps, The Telegraph reported on Wednesday evening that the Home Office had already begun this month contacting property specialists to commandeer at least 5,000 residential units to house some 20,000 hotel migrants. According to the paper, the government has been primarily targeting two-bedroom houses and flats to house, on average, four migrants each….
In June, it was reported that multinational contracting firm Serco — one of the principal agents behind the hotel migrant scheme — had been contacting private landlords to inquire about renting their properties to house migrants, offering up to five years guaranteed rent, utilities, council tax and repairs, all at taxpayer expense….
“Court ruling complicates UK government’s efforts to house asylum-seekers,” by Pan Pylas and Brian Melley, Associated Press, August 21, 2025:
LONDON — The dilemma of how to house asylum-seekers in Britain got more challenging for the government after a landmark court ruling this week motivated opponents to fight hotels used as accommodation….
Home Office minister Dan Jarvis said the government is looking for contingency options….
The easiest option would most likely house asylum-seekers in the private sector, but that risks compounding problems in the rental market in a country where housebuilding has been low for years.
“Labour membership collapses under Keir Starmer as hundreds of thousands desert party,” by George Bunn, GB News, August 21, 2025:
Labour Party membership has plummeted as almost 200,000 people have deserted Sir Keir Starmer’s party.
Figures published on Thursday showed the party had lost another 37,215 members over the course of 2024, around 10 per cent of its total membership at the start of the year.
By the end of 2024, Labour’s membership stood at 333,235.
This is significantly down on its recent peak of 532,046 at the end of 2019, just after the party lost the General Election under former leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour however remains the biggest party by pure membership numbers, despite surges in support for newer parties such as Reform UK.
While Nigel Farage’s party does not publish a membership figure in its own accounts, a ticker on Reform’s website said it had 234,499 members, at time of writing.
Meanwhile, over 650,000 people have signed up to potentially become members of Your Party, which Mr Corbyn co-founded with Coventry South MP, Zarah Sultana….
David M says
If I was a private landlord in Britain & someone rang me about this, I would go on a 10 minute rant about the history of the rape gangs, how Starmer protected them & Jimmy Saville, how the country is being ruined & being turned into a third world shit hole. I would say I object to my tax dollars being spent in this way. I wouldn’t be rude to the person, but I might call them a stooge, and I would end the call by saying “the answer is no, please tell Starmer to stick it up his ass.”
Tony says
Absolutely! Muslims are a threat to Non-Muslims because Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…”. Allah desires to fill hell with Non-Muslims because they DO NOT ACCEPT Islam to become Muslims(Quran 7:18; 11:119; 32:13, 35:8 etc.).
David M says
Imagine the cost of just the repairs after four asylum seekers had been there for a few years, it would be astronomical.
Hoi Polloi says
I had read as well that they already had plans underway to move them even closer to objectors; into their neighborhoods. All while natives sleep rough due to an extreme housing shortage. The hotel shift was agreed to as they already had these plans in place.
Here’s an indication that the two-tier system that is in full force in the UK has already crossed the Atlantic:

Those two boys need a good attorney and to take the school to court.
And, the school is out of line with the Trump admin re this kind of thing, so it should be denied funding.
Hoi Polloi says
Regarding your comment below, I have read they’re terminating leases of natives to install illegals.
I agree the students have grounds to sue and I don’t deny them that, but ultimately the taxpayer is the one who pays. We need a change in our legal system so plaintiffs in these cases can directly sue responsible parties, government employees included. As it stands, these bad actors in power accomplish their goal of draining off assets from responsible taxpayers.
somehistory says
And it’s wrong to use tax money to pay personal debts of responsibility. It should come from their own pockets….where tax money has already been put in the form of salaries.
somehistory says
As you have written numerous times, they hate their taxpaying citizens.

This is already happenng in Germany, Hoi Polloi. Some of these renters have been good tenants for years, or even decades, before being evictd for invading Muslms..
England Invaded says
They’ve been doing this for years now. The previous traitor Tory’s did it. They have employed Serco and others to facilitate such for a long time.
The aim is also to distribute them across the country. Then when they are given citizenship (which is inevitable with the traitors in charge) they’ll vote for Labour. Giving them more people in councils and Parliament.
Invaders should be met with lethal force, traitors should get a rope.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I remember Mark Steyn discussing it when he had his GBNews show. There was one hotel owner he interviewed who chose not to take the ￡1 million to house migrants. He explained to Steyn that that would completely change his business model, and that he had taken up hotels & hospitality, not managing refugee camps
I anticipate Britain undergoing something like the French or Soviet revolutions, w/ plenty of bloodletting
Hudders. says
Just as the stench of the invaders is rising in UK towns & cities, so too is the despair & anger of the people.
It is a slow burning fuse, but one that now seems to have most certainly been lit.
Once the beautiful villages of the country are swamped with the hate filled, sex pest illegal soldier age islamic men, then the Lion awakes.
MOCKERY AFTER MOCKERY IN THE UK DAILY.
WHEN WILL ENOUGH FINALLY BE ENOUGH?
England Invaded says
I am glad that finally more people are at least speaking out but it annoys me they had their heads in the sand for so long. In that time, so much damage has been done.
Although, with the traitors we’ve had for 30 years, maybe it would have still been the same.
England Invaded says
It needs it. Because if people are hoping for a change in 4 years at the next general election, it will be too late no matter who gets in.
It shouldn’t flags be raised from posts, it should invaders and traitors by a rope.
somehistory says
Several years ago, it was reported from Germany that elderly citizens were being removed from their own homes so the illegal muzzies could have a place to live….and destroy.
It won’t surprise if this is what eventually comes around to the U.K. and people are forced out of their homes.
In the meantime, will any landlords be allowed to refuse? It’s a crime to take taxpayer money and spend it on those who want the taxpayer’s daughters to rape and the taxpayer murdered at the hands of the rapists.

English contributors will tell you that this is not some new Government policy. It ain’t news to us.
The only change is that it has been put on steroids recently.
Emptying the Migrant Hotels (400+) is all part of Labour Policy dubbed ‘Operation Scatter’ which is intended to ensure that all towns and villages get their share of cultural enrichment.
Rental properties are being put beyond the financial reach of low paid local couples and statisticians remark that the birth rate among native English is plummeting.
No wonder. They can’t afford a home for themselves let alone children.
Cheaper social housing in cities often goes to foreigners, many out of work.
And the advantage of Operation Scatter is that the cost of migrant housing devolves from National to local authority funding.
This means we are required to pay from National taxation for migrants – but increasingly also a large amount monthly for ‘local services’ which includes housing the ‘homeless’.
For me personally this local cost is £300 each month for which in real, tangible terms I get two street lights , emptying a rubbish / trash can once a fortnight and weekly recycling boxes. And little else.
New building of houses is also forced upon every community big or small.
Figures indicate that 5 out of every 7 ‘new builds’ are needed to house immigrants not a native population increase.
We will pay for much of this or private landlords will buy these properties and rent them to migrants – most of whom can’t pay the rent so public money must.
I hope this little summary will help you better understand how the UK Government intends to clear the migrant hotels.
For me well I guess I must get used to incongruous sight of full blooded Africans in in little West England towns.
Carrying boxes on their heads
Racist ?
No I don’t see it that way.
Who is financing their lives?
Well now you know.

Thank you for the information.

If Jihad terrorists were just carrying boxes on their heads, that would be the least of it.

“Racist ?” No, I dont see it that way either.
If Africa was great Africans wouldn’t be swarming your country Eddie.
tgusa says
You can tale the African out of Africa but you can’t take the Africa out of Africans. You are right to be concerned about your culture and homeland Eddie.
After all, even African parasites didn’t like Africa but they are bringing it with them to your cities and communities. Some things just dont change.

So this is Starmer’s response to Britons protest about the govrnmnt putting up invading Muslims in luxury hotels–I noted as much yestrday. This will just make the housing shortage in the UK many times worse.

Good article on the destruction of Western Civ.

I wont blame it all on the younger generations. They have been deceived by monied and destructive creepy old ****s.
IanB says
They are not just illegal immigrants. They are an army of Islamic invaders – almost all undocumented men of military age.
An army spread throughout the UK, and Ireland.
They are seen with smart cell phones which they can use to communicate among themselves and with who knows who else.
How many AK47s and grenade launchers with ammo have been secretly imported and stored in mosques?
Sleeper cells are awaiting the calls to take action against the native population. The opportunity will arise if the British Army is stationed in Ukraine and elsewhere.
This has been the main topic of conversation in British Army veterans Regimental reunions.
skeptiker says
Ich glaube, in Großbritannien entsteht gerade unter dem Tyrannen Starmer und Konsorten eine Bombenstimmung.
Troybeam says
The UK will do what Germany did, throw out the elderly from their homes that they paid for and give them to the illegal immigrants. The government will steal the homes without buying them form the owners.
Governments are returning to the period where they think they can rule without a legal system. History has proven that people will fight back, like in France when the people killed the wealthy, the rulers and raided the castles and estates and stole whatever they could carry.
It was violent back then however by todays standards well last man standing.
