Epping was a victory. But now I fear what's coming to the doorsteps of other mothers - Renee Hoenderkamp

Mothers and grandmothers started to gather outside the hotel peacefully, dressed in pink to express their concern.

Concern that these young men were hanging around the quiet streets of the Essex town through which their young girls and women had to walk. And this is where the gaslighting of people with these genuine concerns began.

Left-wing commentators lined up on TV and Radio to denounce the protesters and decry their fears as false, misplaced, placed in their heads by the ‘far right’, by Nigel Farage even.

This is a common tactic employed by the Left. I experience it often on Saturday 5, when making a point, I am told regularly by those on the Left that I am wrong, imagining it, exaggerating. It's infuriating, but it doesn’t deter me. I see them.

And it didn’t deter the residents of Essex, nor the council, who supported their calls to close the hotel. Neither did it deter the agitators of the Left and virtue signalling middle classes who turned up in buses with premade and distributed placards declaring “refugees welcome", “UK is open”, “we are anti-racists”.

Nor were the balaclava-clad BLM/antifa supporters set on causing trouble with the aim of convincing the world that the ‘far right’ were the only people there, and there were no genuine mothers and daughters.

They know, of course, that most of the mainstream media will jump on the “far-right’ clarion and that’s the way the reports will be and were presented.

But we know the truth. We know the concerns of those mothers and fathers are real, justified, and we need to act now before it's too late, if it isn’t already.

We cannot hope to keep the hard fought for society where women are viewed as equal with men, educated, have agency of their own, ruled only by themselves, able to dress however they please (even if I think less is often more!) and to walk the streets mostly without fear, if this uncontrolled arrival of migrants continue.

Alongside the massive numbers arriving, 52,000 since Labour came to power, is their concerning dispersal into small towns like Epping.

Towns that have their own infrastructure problems; not enough dentists, doctors, housing, A&E departments, schools and now face an influx of young men with nothing to do, not contained, suddenly able to access women in society in ways they more often did not experience from whence they came.

Imagine a young man from Afghanistan. At the peak of his sexual maturity, testosterone was flowing, and he previously had no outlet for those very natural drivers. Women were completely off limits unless they married.

But more, women are covered, every single bit of them, from gloves to the gauze over their eyes; they cannot even be heard in public, they cannot go out alone. There is literally no way of seeing a woman, any part of a woman, of speaking to one, of touching one.

To do so would be death, and for the woman, too. Combine this with the societal view of that young man from Afghanistan and many other Middle Eastern and African countries, that a woman is the property of a man, either her husband or of the men in her family and the culture of these men is just about everything we abhor in the West and reject.

So, this virile and frustrated young man arrives here, is given a phone, has access to the internet, is able to watch porn and able to walk amongst women who do show skin, often lots, who talk to men, who go out alone, who are confident and sassy and sexy and may look like the women from the porn he has been seeing.

It is a recipe for disaster, and this is bearing itself out. There are convictions, allegations and charges of sexual assault of asylum seekers across the country.

And the Pink Ladies of Epping snapped and said no. They defied the shouting, baying hordes calling them far-right, racist bigots.

They continued to stand peacefully outside of that hotel night after night, and they convinced their local councillors to go to court on their behalf to close the Hotel.

Amazingly, the Judge rejected the Home Office’s last-minute intervention to try and stall the outcome. He has ruled that the hotel has 14 days to be emptied of the occupants. A victory for common sense. But just a relocation of the problem to the doorstep of other mothers and grandmothers.

The concern I have, sitting behind the joy of hearing a court finally representing the people, is that moving these young men elsewhere is not the answer.

Speeding up the asylum process when 98 per cent of Afghans get accepted or moving these young men in HMOs in residential streets is not tackling the root problem or addressing what to me is the real question.

It isn’t racist or far-right to want to address this, to talk about it, to stop it. It’s protectionist of our values and lives as we know them. There is nothing wrong with that.

It isn’t about infrastructure, really; notwithstanding the real pressure of that, it's about culture. When are the politicians who are allowing this daily invasion, both legally and illegally, of our culture going to accept that in so doing they are destroying our culture and allowing what will ultimately be a takeover and replacement of it with one which we don’t recognise?

When will they realise that I, for one, do not want to be part of that new culture on the horizon, and I don’t want my daughter growing into and they probably, deep down, don’t want it either?

It isn’t enough to move the hotel occupants to another area to disperse them quickly. There can be no assimilation of this culture at complete odds with ours.

Acceptance of it threatens everything that we value in the West, and if we continue this gaslighting of anyone brave enough to speak up, we will find ourselves living in a culture where we as women are second-class citizens and there is nothing for our girls to aspire to.

Actually, there will be everything for them to fear. The naysayers may not want to read it, but all cultures are not equal, and we need to protect ours now.

And to do that, we need to stop immigration completely for at least five years, and in that time have some very difficult and frank conversations about how we insist on integration, adaptation of British culture or leave.
