"Far-right" they cried, when mothers and daughters protested the Bell Hotel in Epping.
The left said it was racism, islamophobia and xenophobia.
Well today, resident of the Bell Hotel, Hadush Kebatu, 38, was found guilty of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl and another woman in Epping, just days after arriving here on a small boat.
This disgusting piece of work, housed at the Bell Hotel, harassed a child, tried to kiss her, stroking her hair, and said he wanted to "have a baby" with her, even after she told him, "no, I’m 14."

Now we don’t know how long he's going to prison for yet, but I want to turn your attention to another case in the press.
Illegal migrant Moffat Konofilia, aged 48, sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl in Weymouth. He was found guilty, but somehow managed to dodge prison time. The ex-resident of the Bibby Stockholm, followed the 17-year-old uninvited and then proceeded to kiss her on the lips, twice, then said he had “never been so close to a white woman”.
He begged magistrates not to send him to jail as he needed to support his wife and children, stating "I have never committed any offence in my own country. I respect the laws of the land". Yeah well you’ve already committed a crime in this country haven’t you.
To top it all off, he said: "The British are looking after me, accommodation, food, I can give the whole lot."
But this isn’t a one-off. According to Government figures obtained by the Centre for Migration Control, foreign nationals accounted for up to 34 per cent of convictions for sexual assault on females in 2024, despite being just 10.9 per cent of the population. Foreign nationals are convicted at a rate over 2x higher than British citizens for these crimes.
In Oxford, an illegal migrant was convicted of raping a 20-year-old in a churchyard. In Wakefield, a Sudanese man was found guilty of strangling and attempting to rape a woman in a nightclub toilet.
Overall, we’ve seen a 62 per cent surge in migrant-related sex crimes over the last four years, outpacing the increase by British nationals by over 20 per cent. These cases just keep piling up, and the public is rightly sick of it.
This ruling is frankly, in my strong opinion, yet another incentive for some illegal migrants, who clearly have very bad intentions, to come to this country and try to get away with sexual assault.
Meanwhile, the Government has claimed it’s cracking down on the asylum system despite announcing new measures for asylum visas, including letting many of them come here and work and study.
It’s clear to me that the Government are not listening and our justice system, is frankly, now complicit in incentivising people to come to this country because we are not only soft on crime, but we are very soft on illegal foreigners committing these crimes.
