Unrelenting mass deportations are the solution needed to halt the influx of boats; Britain's patience has finally reached its limit.

The UK is currently grappling with an escalating asylum crisis, with thousands of migrants housed in luxury hotels across the country. This shift in accommodation policy, initiated by the Labour government that took office about a year ago, has been a contentious issue, with the Bell Hotel in Epping being one of the many hotels used for this purpose.

The decision to house migrants in hotels rather than secure facilities has faced numerous legal challenges and public protests. A significant event that sparked public outcry was the charging of an illegal migrant housed at the Bell Hotel with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, has called for more peaceful protests, and councils that Reform UK won in the May elections are expected to follow Epping's lead. Reform UK is advocating for the closure of migrant hotels and is suggesting the detention and deportation of illegal immigrants to stem the influx.

The Labour government's decision has not been without controversy. The Conservative MP, when speaking up for detaining illegal immigrants in secure camps, was met with criticism from the "One Nation" Conservatives. Some argue that the UK may need to quit the European Convention on Human Rights to facilitate mass deportations.

The asylum crisis has been costly for the taxpayer, with the Labour government spending £4.76 billion managing the crisis. As of the end of June, 32,100 asylum seekers were housed in hotels at taxpayers' expense, an 8% increase since Keir Starmer moved into 10 Downing Street.

The high court has ruled that asylum seekers must leave the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, but the issue persists. In the year up to June 2025, 110,000 more migrants applied for asylum in Britain, the highest number since records began.

Protesters, including the Pink Ladies, do not want illegal immigrants in their communities. In protests like the one in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, women in their sixties and seventies have been met with the response that they are just right, not far-right.

Reform UK is predicted to win a majority of 140 seats at the next general election, according to polls. The party will announce proposals for mass deportations next week. The Britannia Hotel in London's Canary Wharf is one of the luxury hostels for asylum seekers, a stark contrast to the intended purpose of such a high-end establishment.

People are particularly upset about illegal immigration, with more than 50,000 illegal immigrants having landed on British beaches since Labour was elected last July. This number is equivalent to hiring 86,500 more police officers or 16 million winter fuel payments for British pensioners at the higher rate.

The asylum crisis is a complex issue that continues to divide the nation. As the debate rages on, the future of immigration policy in the UK remains uncertain.

Unrelenting mass deportations are the solution needed to halt the influx of boats; Britain's patience has finally reached its limit.
