Anti-immigrant protests in Britain - Government promises reforms to reduce housing costs
Thousands of British citizens have protested against the housing of migrants in hotels. The government has promised reforms to speed up decisions on asylum seekers and reduce housing costs.
Thousands of people have protested against migrants outside a hotel in Epping, east London, where asylum seekers are being housed. The situation has been tense in Britain in recent days, with several clashes between demonstrators and police over immigration policies. The protesters carried British flags and banners with the inscriptions "Epping says no" and "Stop the boats".
A court ruling on August 21 ordered the removal of asylum seekers from the Bell Hotel in Epping, which has become the epicenter of anti-immigration protests. The government plans to appeal the ruling.
Immigration has become a major concern for British citizens. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour government is facing pressure to ban the use of hotels for migrants, which costs billions of pounds a year.
In recent weeks, Britain has seen frequent protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers, largely over concerns for public safety. The situation became tense after a migrant checked into an east London hotel and was accused of sexual assault.
The government announced that it will reform the asylum application process. The reform aims to speed up decisions, reduce the backlog of cases, and gradually eliminate the use of hotels for their accommodation.
Under the plans, an independent body of judges will be created to handle asylum applications and reduce the number of 106,000 backlog cases, including 51,000 appeals with an average waiting time of more than a year.
