      On the other side of the court case was the Home Office, which claimed that this injunction breached asylum seeker’s ECHR rights. I didn’t know being housed in a hotel was a human right!?

      This could cause the government real trouble. The arguments that is in unlawful to use the hotel in Epping Forest for migrants is that the hotel needs planning permission for a change of use.

      This applies to any hotel being used for migrants anywhere.

      Surprised this is the first case of this type. The shit show the conservatives caused will take years to undo.

      It’s an interim injunction so they haven’t won yet, just been granted interim relief ahead of a final decision.

      I’ve not seen many posts about Hotel protests on here recently, I thought they had petered out but apparently there have been a few in Dudley, Falkirk, Canary wharf and the Epping one hasn’t really stopped. Are they being removed, hidden, just not being posted anymore or not making tbe front page?

      Why is the government trying to get involved to force it through?

      Didn’t they, just 2 months ago, say that they were going to stop using the hotels? Aren’t they’re meant to be in the process of phasing them out?

      I am fearful this is just going to speed up the process of the government Serco to house asylum seekers in HMOs/the private rental sector which is going to be awful for loacal communities that get dumped with them.
