💨 Abstract

Following heighted tensions, major police restrictions have been imposed ahead of a demonstration outside a hotel in Epping, Essex, housing asylum seekers. The protest, led by Tommy Robinson, follows charges against an asylum seeker for allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. Counter-protests and strict measures, including bans on face coverings and dispersal orders, have been implemented. Previous protests in the area involved violence, with damage to property and assaults on officers.
