Apparently, it's all kicking off in Epping.
Here's the ever-reliable and "nootral" BBC:
"Six people have been arrested during the latest protest outside a hotel used to house asylum seekers in Essex.Bottles and smoke flares were thrown towards police vehicles during the demonstration which saw more than 1,000 people gathered outside the Bell Hotel in Epping.Ch Supt Simon Anslow said it was disappointing to see the protest escalate into "mindless thuggery".The disorder followed the arrest and charge of an asylum seeker last week on suspicion of alleged sexual assaults in the town."
Sexual assault?
"...38-year-old asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was charged with sexual assault - after an incident where he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl."
Wow, that's a relief! At least the riots are not about racism and taking a stand against decades of falling birth rates and the importation of people from the Third World to make up the deficit.
In fact, the protestors and those egging them on from the social media peanut gallery are particularly keen to emphasise that it's not about racism or being "far right" at all. Hey, I believe them!

So, what is it really, actually, literally about then...if anything?
I guess what the "Good People of Epping" (grifting trademark) are really concerned about is paedophilia. I mean, some dodgy bloke attempting to kiss a young girl. That sort of thing never happened before asylum seekers showed up, did it?
Or maybe it did, according to Elon Musk's Grok:
Or maybe it did, according to Elon Musk's Grok:
"National Data: As noted, 90% of child sexual abuse offenders in England and Wales are White, 5% Asian, 2% Black, 2% Mixed, and 1% Other, based on 2020 Ministry of Justice statistics. This roughly aligns with the 2021 Census for England and Wales (81.7% White, 9.3% Asian, 4% Black, 2.2% Mixed, 1% Other)."
Well, it can't be that, can it, or all those "concerned citizens" are going to be practically living on the streets in order to protest all the White paedos as well.
This is the trouble with what I call "Bad Thing Nationalism," (i.e. nationalism based on the negatives of multiculturalism); as soon as the Left can find an equivalent case of bad White behaviour or point to a positive of immigration, like "Muh Black NHS nurses," it all falls apart.

"OK racists, how you gonna get along without her? Answer me that, why dontcha?"
But back to the "Good People of Epping," maybe what's got their blood up is simply a bad case of NIMBYism.
As we know, no one in Britain, least of all large aggressive bald men waving "crusader flags" are actually racist, they just want to protect their kids or social services. But, of course, nobody likes to have an asylum hotel dumped in their neighbourhood. Nothing to do with race, simple as!
Yes, that must be it.
To clarify, what they are really making a fuss about is this: they are essentially crying out in pain, humbly begging the authorities not to end the asylum policy or mass immigration (as that would make them racists), but simply to manage the influx of foreigners in a better and more efficient manner.

As any intelligent person should know by now, Britain, with its lower than 1.5 fertility rate can't really, actually, literally, politically, and economically wean itself off mass immigration; at least not without going into some very dark territory. But at least the UK government could possibly, hopefully, and conceivably just manage the whole thing a little bit better; maybe by moving the asylum claimants a few miles to the East, North, West, or South, and by teaching them some more "social etiquette" when it comes to teenage girls.
Deal?
Deal?
Anyway, if this is it, and I don't really see anyone supporting the protests making any case beyond this, it seems a rather stupid thing to have a riot over.
If it's not about that, if it's actually about reversing the whole sad depopulation and racial replacement of Britain's population by self-imposed low fertility and endless waves of incomers, then that's quite a different story. But that tale, is still something of an unwritten (or unwritable?) epic, and goes well beyond the trivial detail of "this asylum" hotel or "that refugee's misdemeanour."
Forgive my cynicism, but I am sure that very few of those "concerned citizens" out enjoying the spectacle and the evening sun on the streets of Epping are much concerned with the long and difficult political journey that something like that would involve.
