The Battle of Epping Forest

Over fifty years ago the progressive rock band Genesis released the song Battle of Epping Forest about fighting between two rival East End gangs. During the past week Epping has again become a battleground. This time it involves residents concerned about a local hotel being used to accommodate illegal immigrants, almost all of whom are believed to be dark skinned young men. One is alleged to have carried out a sex attack on a young teenage girl.

These protests have gained national prominence as they reflect the extent to which ordinary people have finally reached breaking point on the level of third world immigration that has been facilitated by politicians of all the traditional political parties. Predictably some hard left agitators (in reality, establishment regime stooges) have been bussed in to cause trouble, ludicrously branding the local protestors as ‘far right’, but this tactic no longer works as videos clearly show them to be ordinary residents, many of whom are women concerned about the safety of their children.

The local council has asked the government to agree to the demands of the protesters to remove the illegal immigrants from the hotel. Such a request is unlikely to succeed as it would likely trigger similar protests at the other 200 hotels housing illegal immigrants, a process that may already have started. This would create a major crisis for the government who would be faced with protests on a national scale without any obvious remedy to quell them.

Politicians have known since the time of Enoch Powell’s Rivers of Blood speech how deeply unpopular open ended, third world immigration of largely unassimilable people, is regarded by the British public. It has led to ethnic ghettos, divided communities, erosion of national identity, pressure on local services, those on lower incomes priced out of rented housing, and creation of innumerable criminal hotspots. But the politicians have paid no attention, parroting delusional nonsense about diversity and enrichment, whilst at the same time openly discriminating against the white population through one sided DEI initiatives, and demonising as ‘racists’ those who speak out. Payback time for their persistent arrogant contempt of the British public is long overdue.
