The dilemma of the way shelters in the UK became more challenging for the government, as the opponents motivated the opponents to fight the hotels used as housing this week.
Politicians blocked the residence in a hotel on the right over a temporary prohibition. EppingOn the outskirts of LondonTo encourage other communities to go to court.
The issue is at the center of a hot public debate as to how to control unauthorized immigration, demanding a better life to countries across the country that are demanding a better life because they eradicate war -torn countries, poverty, regions from climate change or political oppression.
In the UK, the debate has focused on the arrival of migrants crossing the English channel in overloaded boats run by smugglers and increased tensions at the residence of thousands of refugees at government expense across the country.
There is a look at this issue here:
hotel
The government is bound to legally seek asylum. Using the hotel to do this was a marginal issue by 2020, when the number of refuge seekers increased rapidly and the then conservative government had to find new methods of the house.
So far this year, more than 27,000 unauthorized arrival has taken place, about 50% higher than the same point last year and further than this time of this time in 2022, when a record 45,755 ash came.
According to home office data released on Thursday, the number of shelters kept in hotels was more than 32,000 at the end of June. The figure was about 29,500 to 8% above a year ago, but below the peak of over 56,000 in September 2023.
A total of 111,084 people applied for asylum in June 2025, the highest number for a period of 12 months since the current record started in 2001. In May, the National Audit Office said that temporarily people living in hotels were responsible for 35% of all people in asylum.
Eating case
Anti-resident protesters and counter-protesters gathered outside the Bell Hotel for weeks after the news that a resident of a hotel tried to kiss a 14-year-old girl and was accused of sexual harassment. The man has denied the allegation and is due to the stand trial later this month.
The Epting Forest District Council sought a temporary prohibition to close the hotel due to “unprecedented level of protest and disruption”, causing several arrests.
The decision of the High Court in favor of the council has the ability to spread elsewhere and the government ministers are hitting the foot to work on what they can do if other councils manage to win the same regions.
However, the Epping decision was based on planning laws, which may not apply anywhere else.
Politics
Many politicians, such as reform UK leaders Nigel FarajThe country’s faces, such as health and housing, have demanded to add many problems with migrant arrival.
Others, including the government, argue that Faraj’s choice is tasting the issue for political gains and that there is no easy answer to the issue affecting many European countries.
Leader of the main opposition orthodox party, Kemi badenochThe Tory Council across the country urged that if their legal advice is allowed, they should start legal challenges as applied.
The ruling Labor Party dismissed his appeal as “desperate and hypocritical nonsense”, but several labor-dominated councils have also suggested that they too, they can take legal action against asylum hotels in their areas.
The concern is that stress may burst into such violence that destroyed many towns and cities in England in the last summer, in view of stabbing a dance class, in which three girls died and many were injured.
Official option
The government’s first priority is to reduce the number of dangerous channel crossings rapidly.
There are plans to send migrants after the plan of the orthodox administration who have unauthorized Rwanda, the Prime Minister, Kir Stamor Said that his government will disrupt the gangs that make profits from migrant smuggling.
The government is also expecting a deal to process the claims of asylum and a deal with France who are making a deal to send migrants who cross the channel back to France, will succeed as a preventive for others.
Whether those plans are successful or not, however, the issue remains the issue of what to do with thousands of refuge seekers in the country.
Home Office Minister Dan Jarvis said that the government is looking for contingency options.
The government used a bargain for home migrants away from the south coast earlier this year and planned to abolish the housing in the military barracks in Kent next month. But a pre -air base in Essex is expected to add more beds for men seeking shelter.
The easiest option is the possibility of household shelter seekers in the private sector, but it reduces problems in the rental market in the country where the housebuilding is less than the years.
