Ezra Levant visits London’s Britannia International, a former luxury hotel now housing military-aged migrants—many arriving from France—while protesters in Epping clash with police over deportation leniency and sexual assault risks, including an eight-day resident charged. In Norwich, locals rally against the Brook Hotel, sheltering unvetted men like Dan Tezfalaol (jailed for 8 years for rape) amid reports of predatory behavior near schools, with veterans demanding action while mainstream media ignores or vilifies them. The August 8th national protest aims to expose systemic failures and push for stricter vetting, framing outrage as a fight for child safety over political labels. [Automatically generated summary]
The event here just landed in London, came straight from the airport.
It was an overnight flight, and I've come to Canary Wharf, which is a very interesting neighborhood in the UK.
It used to be sort of derelict Docklands, but about a generation ago, a Canadian real estate developer, the Reichman family, turned it into a gleaming set of skyscrapers.
It really rivals Manhattan in terms of commerce and steel and glass and chrome.
Totally moved the financial center of London here.
And it's very different from the rest of London, which is about history and old architecture.
Here, it's all about new, new, new.
You could be forgiven for thinking you were in the United States.
It's high-end because everyone here is a banker or an investor or an insurer.
And there are hotels, obviously, and high-rise condominiums.
And there's also this hotel, the Britannia International, which I was just told by a local was really the first hotel of its sort in these parts.
But it's been a little while since it was freshened up.
Of course, COVID was difficult for all hotels.
And very recently, this hotel did a deal.
Instead of investing millions of dollars in renovating and refurbishing, they cut a deal with the government to shut down as a hotel and to turn this building in the heart of this residential and commercial neighborhood to turn this into an urban refugee camp for military-aged migrant men who come over from France in little boats.
So the men who are going to be jammed in here by the hundred in a four-star hotel, I looked up the pricing.
It's more than 400 pounds a night when it was operating as a hotel.
That's quick math, 700 Canadian dollars a night.
Secret Ban on Afghans00:09:46
It is not cheap, but only the best for illegal migrants whose first act on British soil is to break the law, to come illegally, to shred their documents and to say, I'm an asylum seeker.
Of course, that's not true.
And everyone knows it's not true because they're coming from France.
And France is not a dangerous place.
It's not a illiberal dictatorship.
If you're coming from France, it means that you're coming for two reasons.
You know the UK is a soft touch and they won't deport you.
And you know they're going to give you four-star hotels.
I mean, let me ask you a question.
If your choices as a opportunity-seeking, swashbuckling young man from, I don't know, Afghanistan or Pakistan, if your choices were come to the British government's all-expense-paid four-star hotel in amazing Canary Wharf or go to Alligator Alcatraz, Donald Trump's new maximum security prison, or you know what he's doing with illegals in the United States, right?
He's rounding them up, deporting them, sending them to that El Salvador Supermax prison, or they've just built this new alligator Alcatraz, as they call it in Florida.
Where would you go as a BSing migrant?
I mean, if you were truly desperate, you would go anywhere you could.
But like I say, these men are coming from France.
They're coming in bad faith and everyone knows it.
But imagine being a resident here.
I've only been here on the street for about 15 minutes, and I've seen so many young women jogging by.
I've seen so many tourists.
I've seen so many people who their daily lives would be immediately changed for the worse if you had hundreds of military-age migrant men, especially from countries where they treat women atrociously, where the idea of respecting a woman's space is unknown, where if a woman goes out uncovered, it's proof that she must be a prostitute and thus you can do what you want with her.
People are being brought to the UK by the thousand, approximately a thousand a day in these boats.
Now, the United Kingdom is surrounded by water.
The English Channel, it's like a moat.
And for centuries, the English Channel has served as a defense to this island.
It's what stopped Hitler from invading.
It's what stopped Napoleon from invading.
The fact that the UK is an island is its greatest defense.
And it also caused the Royal Navy for centuries to be the world's greatest navy.
It's one of the reasons why Britannia ruled the world.
But now Britannia is being ruled by any ragamuffin who can find his way here.
The UK still has a formidable navy.
After the United States, it's probably the most powerful navy in NATO.
They could stop these boats in a second.
Instead, they escort these boats in like concierges.
I could only imagine someone growing up loving the stories of Admiral Nelson, loving Master and Commander, the series of books about the Royal Navy's exploits.
If you haven't seen that movie with Russell Crowe, I highly recommend it.
Imagine growing up loving the idea of the Navy.
And then when you're faced with this, truly an invasion, a slow-motion invasion, instead of defending your country, you act as the bellhop, the bag boy, the baggage handler for these migrants who are coming in bad faith.
So many of them, of course, immediately go on the jihad watch list.
The UK has more than 40,000 jihadists who are actively being monitored.
It's a terrible situation, and things have finally snapped.
The reason we're here at Canary Wharf, the migrants have not moved in yet.
This has just been announced as sort of a spillover refugee camp for other neighborhoods that have had enough.
And one of those neighborhoods is a couple hours away from here.
It's called Epping.
In Epping, they have a migrant hotel, not as luxurious, not as large.
And one migrant who just came over, I think eight days previously, has been charged with sexual assault against a young girl, literally days after getting off the boat.
I mean, think about it.
You come from a country where sex is repressed, where uncovered women are anathema.
And you come here to the UK, a high trust society where women walk on the streets uncovered and they're completely safe.
And you're like a fox in a henhouse.
And so this man allegedly sexually assaulted this girl days after arriving here.
And so the local community of Epping, which is probably more close-knit than in a metropolis like Canary Wharf, they took to the streets in a noisy but peaceful protest against the migrant center.
Incredibly, police in Epping were filmed sneaking in professional protesters, pro-migrants.
Let me say that again.
All the local community, especially mums, came out to defend their girls, to defend the safety of young people in Epping.
And the police actually used their police vans to sneak in counter protesters.
It's as if they wanted to create an incident like a Reichstag fire to create a violent conflagration so they could say, uh-huh, look at this.
Far-right terrorists have caused violence.
We need a national crackdown.
What's interesting is, I've arrived here in the UK just 48 hours after their Online Safety Act or Online Harms Act, I forget what it's called.
Their new censorship bill has taken effect.
And one of the ways this new censorship bill was sold to the country was it would stop child pornography.
Well, who could be against that?
But wouldn't you know it?
The first application of this new online censorship bill has been to censor videos of these protests against migrant refugee camps.
Who could have guessed it?
The UK is a country, I can remind you, that has 30 arrests per day for people saying things on social media, much of it contrary to open borders mass immigration.
The UK really cannot be called a completely free country.
It's a partly free country.
I haven't been arrested yet, knock on wood.
But it's a combination of issues.
Because mass migration has led to so much incredibly, the UK is now the number one rape capital of Europe on a per capita basis.
It was not this way.
This is the original high trust society.
So instead of dealing with the primary problem, the government's trying to deal with the secondary problems: denounce the protesters, censor the news.
They simply cannot find themselves a way to deal with the primary problem, which is mass immigration of people who are not a fit for the UK and, in some cases, come here as avowed enemies.
I want to tell you one last story.
A couple of weeks ago, a shocking story was broken in a number of newspapers.
In the UK, they have something, a legal trick that we don't know in America or Canada.
It's called a super injunction.
What is that?
Well, you know what an injunction is.
It's a court order.
And in North America, there are occasionally court orders for publication bans.
In my country of Canada, that's often when a minor is involved to keep the child's identity secret.
And we all know that order is in place and we understand it, and it's limited to that purpose.
But in the UK, they have a super injunction, which is they have a publication ban on something and they have a ban on talking about the ban.
So there's a secret ban in place.
You're not even allowed to talk around or about the ban.
You're not even allowed to acknowledge that it exists.
And what had happened two years ago, the Conservative government, as it then was, sought a super injunction to keep secret their plan to bring up to 200,000 Afghans into the UK in secret flights and to stick them in the community.
And they had some ruse, some excuse.
Oh, well, we had a data breach and these were translators in Afghanistan and we have to protect them from the Taliban.
Really, you had 200,000 interpreters in Afghanistan.
Pull my other leg.
When there was an election last year, the Labour Party took over as government.
They kept the super injunction in place.
So what you see here is the UNI Party, the Conservatives and the Labour both supporting the super injunction that kept secret from the British people and even secret from MPs, from Parliament itself, that there was a plan to bring in hundreds of thousands of Afghans.
I'm told that there were only 1,000 translators, and I'm not sure why that gets them a ticket to the UK.
But to bring in 200,000 claiming they're friends and relatives is just completely shocking.
What has changed in the UK in the past week, by my observation, is for the first time, people no longer care about being called far-right or whatever they're being labeled.
There have just been too many rapes, too many sexual assaults, despite this online censorship.
The word is getting out.
And when severely normal moms and dads are protesting, it's not just activists protesting.
Ordinary Brits Speak Up00:05:36
I think we've reached a tipping point.
There's no one here today.
There was a boisterous protest earlier.
Of course, this is the fastest I could get to the UK.
I'm in the UK for a couple of days.
I'm now going to head up to Norwich, which I understand is going to have a similar protest.
And I will go to Epping tomorrow, which is where this whole thing kicked off.
The reason they were protesting here is that they heard the migrants were going to be relocated from Epping to the heart of Canary Wharf.
Last point, when I was just talking to some of the locals to get the lay of the land, one woman who works in a neighboring hotel, she had her name tag on.
She said that an entire building, because there's a lot of residential towers here, an entire building's tenants were going to have a protest.
And I thought, okay, this is London.
It's a progressive city.
I said, protest on which side?
I mean, I didn't know.
I didn't want to assume.
She said, of course, against the refugee camp.
If you're paying premium rents or if you bought a luxury condominium in this new revitalized community of Canary Wharf, if you're a young woman working on their version of Wall Street, if you're someone who, you know, there's so many people who are out and about here.
And imagine what this street will be like when you've got hundreds of indolent men in there, don't speak the language, don't have anything to do.
I'll say it sexually frustrated because of course they are.
You're from Afghanistan or wherever and you come to this, you know, high trust society.
That apartment building said that lady is going to have a protest.
I'm sorry I won't be here to see it, but maybe I'll come back.
That's my report from Canary Wharf.
It's a gorgeous neighborhood that's about to be turned into a refugee camp because this government cannot do the simple task of keeping this daily invasion at bay.
It's incredible to me, but the glimmer of hope, the silver lining here to me is that after years of being silenced and demonized, ordinary Brits are speaking up.
My friend Tommy Robinson has been talking about this for years, and he is being called every name and prosecuted and put in prison.
But you can do that to a handful of activists.
You can do that to political people.
But when hundreds and even thousands of moms and dads start marching, yeah, either you become a police state and build a lot more prisons or something has to change.
That's the news from the UK.
To see all my reports on this subject, go to migrantreports.co.uk.
And if you think this is useful content that you can't find on, let's say, the BBC or CBC State Broadcaster, do me a favor and chip in a few quid.
I came over from Canada on my own time, economy class airfare.
I actually don't even have a hotel room.
I'm not sure where I'm going to be tonight.
If you can chip in, please do.
You can do that at migrantreports.co.uk.
I'll do my best to tell you what's going on here as I learn and teach at the same time.
Thanks.
Hi, it's Ezra Levant here.
I took off my suit jacket because we're in the rain and I don't want to get soaked.
I am wearing an umbrella, having an umbrella.
I'm in Norwich, and if you look up there, you can see there's still dozens of people, but the rain was coming down very hard.
So I think most of the crowd is dispersed.
On the way in, I saw dozens of police, a large number of police vans at a nearby staging area, which I presume would be the heavy hitters, the SWAT team types.
And this is all because there's a local migrant hotel, like there are in so many different parts of the UK, at which military-age migrant men from countries where sexual assault is the norm.
And to bring in these men, unvetted, most of whose first act in this country is to break the law, to sneak in illegally and destroy their records.
That's bad enough.
But then to have them, and in this neighborhood, particularly, the men who typically don't work, they lounge around playgrounds and they take photographs of young girls and young children.
And obviously, the locals find that deeply creepy.
And I think that things have reached a boiling point.
Now, that's the background I know.
I don't know a lot about Norwich.
I seek to find out more.
So I'm going to wander around.
I'm borrowing Ed my cameraman's umbrella, thank goodness, because I'd be soaked otherwise.
He's got a rain jacket.
Don't worry about him, though.
And I want to talk to people and find out what's going on.
Why?
Because these are severely normal people.
What I mean by that is this is not an organized, curated event.
I come to the UK from time to time for big rallies that Tommy Robinson has in London.
And those are planned months in advance with speakers flown in and PA systems.
This is not that.
This is ordinary people saying, you know what?
I've had it with foreign migrants treating women like possessions.
James On The Streets00:15:02
And I'm sick of the government lying about it.
That's what I think is going on here.
Let's go and talk to people and find out.
Tell me about today's protest.
Who is here and why are they here?
What's going on in Norwich that's wrong?
So we're at Bothorp, the Brook Hotel in Bothorpe in Norwich.
The issue with the Brook Hotel, so it's housing migrants, it has been for a couple of years now, and the community of Bothorp and Cossey are terrified.
With the Breckland Park, which is about a 10-minute walk from here, roughly, the children are being sexually harassed, followed.
There's two sexual offenders who have already come out of that hotel.
Dan Tezfala was jailed for eight years for raping a girl when she left the nightclub.
And Rashid Al-Waley was jailed for 20 months for grooming a 14-year-old online, selling photos of his genitalia.
So 20 months in prison.
Have you heard of the case of Lucy Connolly, the wife of a conservative city councillor, who was sent to prison for 31 months for a tweet?
So 31 months for a tweet versus 20 months for sexually grooming a minor.
Yeah, it's actually quite funny because I wasn't supposed to be one of the organizers of today's protest.
That was supposed to be my boyfriend James Harvey.
Well, at eight o'clock this morning, we had a knock on the door at our house because he stays at my house, obviously.
And they arrested him on the spot eight o'clock in the morning before.
So they were trying to head off.
They were trying to head off today's event.
I don't think they did, but tell me what happened when they came for James.
So they had the gloves on already and they're like, oh, okay, we're looking for James.
He wasn't even up yet by this point.
He wasn't properly dressed.
He hadn't had a shower or anything.
We just got like, we'd just gone to sleep, basically, because we were planning the protest.
And so I got him.
I got him up.
I got him ready really fast because they were going to steam through our back door if we didn't hurry up.
Basically, they're like, oh, you've only got one minute left.
He came.
They arrested him on the spot for racial aggravation, and that was because he said, allegedly, foreign filth.
And this was five days ago now, which would have been Monday at the DIS protest.
This, the park hotel, has been housing families of migrants since September 2023, which me and James did expose.
But the Home Office is trying to force all males into that hotel, and the locals aren't happy.
So we had a protest similar to this.
I didn't organize it, neither did James.
We know the organizer.
He's the DIS local himself.
They had a protest, and allegedly, James said foreign filth at the protests.
I mean, that's not a very friendly thing to say, but I don't know if word crimes are the real issue here.
I think that's I keep saying the primary problem is bringing in millions of people unvetted who are not a cultural fit, not an economic fit, aren't a fit with sex norms in this country.
And what happens when you do that is people mouth off, people push back in the ways they know how.
And just silencing critics, even if they do use rude language, it's not solving the problem.
In fact, it's sort of if someone is speaking out with anger or pain, it's probably because they have some underlying sense of grievance and telling them to shut up or arresting them for their words.
It's probably not going to make their grievance go away.
If anything, it'll probably make it magnified.
Yeah, definitely.
And I think if James did say that, I can't remember him saying it.
It's not the end of the world.
It's not, I mean, it's not nice.
I'm pretty sure he'd be referring to the paedophiles that are like the sounds like it.
Rather than just all migrants.
Well, that's the thing about word crimes: what did they mean?
And what could they mean?
Context that it was meant in, and usually it's twisted.
Yeah, and I'm not here to promote those words, but to arrest a political organizer the morning of a rally, using that as a pretext, shows that they really want to stop people from talking about this.
Why are you here today?
Well, just protest, and the local community have had enough.
We've seen what's going on all over the country.
Every local community, we don't get a say, we don't get a talk in it, so we're just here to stand up.
What are you worried about?
Foreign rapists coming here and attacking our children, really.
I mean, we've had quite a lot of it over the past year or two, and we've had enough now.
We keep trying to complain to the authorities, they're ignoring us, so it's time to take it into our own hands now.
I was watching, sorry, go ahead.
No show, we're just going to say, I'm just going to show them that we're annoyed.
We've had enough of it.
We want to stand up now, tell them we've had enough.
I was watching some videos back in Canada, and it looked like a lot of mothers are involved.
In the past, protests of this sort seemed to be more men, but now mums are coming forward.
What do you make of that?
Yeah, the whole community is coming out now.
Everyone's sick of it.
I mean, I mean, the children, both sides of the parents.
I mean, you're not just going to see the fathers out here now.
It's going to be the whole community.
I'm quite surprised the police aren't with us as well.
Very surprised.
Why are you here?
To support us English people.
We don't want this rubbish in our country.
Doing what they're doing.
And what are they doing?
Raping our children and everything else.
That's all I've got to say.
We don't want them here.
Are any politicians listening?
None of them.
Why?
I don't know why.
Supporting these lot rather than, you know, our own country.
Why are you here?
Well, to protect our country, basically, because I just find it utterly ridiculous how us people have to work for them and to pay for stuff that they're getting for free, such as phones, laptops.
They get money each week, and we're having to work for their benefit.
And why do you think this system is set up that way?
Government, to be honest, it's the government dead against it all.
Do you know what might be causing that?
Like, if there were indeed 1,500 people at the protest today, you think the government would want to appeal to that?
You'd think so, but they're all on their side.
Keystarma as well.
Kingstama.
They just don't care.
They really don't care.
I heard the police escorted some antifootypes to this event, but they were dispatched quickly.
Yep, the same.
Same as in Essex a week ago.
Yep.
Brought them here, took them out again, just to antagonise everyone.
Are you worried about, and I'm just going to put it out here, are you worried about the possibility that you might be arrested for anti-social behavior or a tweet or something like that?
Yeah, tweets, definitely.
Definitely tweets.
But I think when we're all out together on the street like this, just waving flags and shouting, I don't think they're going to say too much or do too much.
I think that's when it turns violent.
Why are you here today?
This is my first protest.
I'm here with my friend.
This is his first protest as well.
I have a six-year-old daughter.
I am so scared.
Norwich is honestly like, so London got everything before us.
And I have been to London.
I have seen the multiculturalism that is not working whatsoever.
Look at all the stabbings.
Look at, like, it is crazy.
And we've now got Norwich.
We've now got this hotel over here.
We've got another one up in Cromer.
It is, it is becoming so backwards.
It is unreal.
I used to be on the left when I was a teenager.
And I used to think, oh, Jeremy Corbyn's amazing.
Not now.
I am.
I don't even support Farage at the minute because of what he's doing.
He is not on our side at the minute.
He didn't even go to the rape gangs inquiry.
You know what I mean?
He's cussing out our boy, Tommy Robinson, who is a hero.
I used to think he was...
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to say the word.
But back in the day I used to think he was that and now he needs to be knighted.
The man needs to be knighted.
He has raised awareness on what is going on.
And I could literally cry at the fact that our country is gone.
Our country's gone.
And I'm scared for life.
I honestly cannot tell you how much I am scared for this country.
Now, how many people were here before the rain came?
And we were driving and it was very heavy rain and we were worried that we were going to miss it.
There's still dozens of people here and I saw tons of cops nearby.
How many people here were here at the height when the weather was better?
I'd say probably around 500.
500 people around here today.
500 people today.
1500 the police have said.
The police said 1,500?
1,500.
That's wonderful if that is true because, you know, I've always thought of Norwich as a little sleepy town, especially during COVID times.
It's a big left-wing presence.
It's like the third wokest or LGBT high place in the UK or something.
So you don't expect people to turn out in that sort of numbers to Norwich.
But it really shows because all of these people were local.
Apart from a couple dozen, they're local people.
They're from Beaufort, Cossey, Norwich.
I heard that there were some antifa types and there was a little bit of hands being thrown.
What happened?
I didn't see all of it.
I was on the stage, but what I understand is that the police led Antifa through us.
Now, I saw they did that in Epping.
They sort of sneaked in the Antifa.
They wanted a fight.
My theory is the police want to fight so they can say, look at this far-right hooligans.
I think the cops want violence so they can then like that's the script they want anti-migration people to follow.
They want violence, they want racism, and if they have to plant it, so be it.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
I think, you know, if we're all aggressive and if we're all horrible to everyone, or if that's what the papers show, then they can paint us however they want.
Like, we can be that image of, oh, they're horrible and violent, far right.
But that's not the case at all.
We just want our children to be safe and our women to walk the streets like whenever they want.
And how have the police been here?
They look pretty hands-off.
There's a ton of them, but I take it they've just sort of stood by.
Yeah, apart from like walking or letting Antifa move around us, they have been all right.
Like they haven't tried to attack us.
They haven't tried to stop us.
The only thing I would have an issue with is the fact that they didn't close the road off, which they said, if there's over a couple hundred, then we will.
But there's a cancer treatment thing just down the road.
So you can't fault them too much for that.
They've got to do the job that they're told to do.
Well, I mean, I wish I was here to see the Antifa interaction because Antifa are brave when they have a mask on, hiding their identity.
And they're brave when they're in large numbers picking on small numbers of people.
I'm looking around and there's some pretty strong looking guys.
I think that a small number of Antifa would have been shown the door pretty quick.
That's just my guess.
I don't know when they left, but it must have been really soon.
Because if I was outnumbered that much with Antifa, which, you know, give it all the large all the time, they were all masked up kids.
I would have gone pretty quickly.
I would have left with my tail between my legs and I would have been so embarrassed.
Well, listen, thanks for giving me all that background and keep us posted on what happens to James.
And I say again, I mean, we all want to put our best foot forward and we all say some things sometimes that are a little rough.
But I don't know.
I think the UK has too many hurt feelings crimes and too many hurt feelings prosecutions.
And I think a lot of the bad words are coming from the shocking reality that the government won't fix.
So I don't know.
That's just my view as an outsider.
Yeah, I agree.
I think instead of labeling people far right, you need to start addressing the problem.
This is to the Home Office, to Keos Dahmer, to the police as well, who have told, like, there's children being photographed at Breckland Park and the police have turned around and said there's nothing we can do because it's not illegal.
They're not enforcing, they're not protecting our children.
We've had to patrol our own areas because the police are incompetent to do it themselves.
So, yeah, I think people need, instead of labeling people, you need to listen to the issues.
We've been gathering out since last night with the veterans.
Intent, sleeping out for three days.
Oh, so that's, those are the tents over there?
They are our veterans who, not homeless.
What they do, they go around places and what they do, they support the 45,000 on the streets.
Tell me the difference between how homeless veterans are treated versus migrants who hop on a dinghy and come over and are put in four-star hotels in Canary Wharf.
Tell me what it's like from the veterans' point of view.
Disgusting.
With the veterans, we belong in Vets in Need.
It's a charity.
Are you involved with them?
In Vets in Need, it's a charity where we don't get paid.
We do everything voluntary, badges, cuts.
If someone is a veteran on the streets, we go them up.
We've got a Bergen.
If you're not, I'll show you.
You can speak to a veteran.
We've got Bergens to give them, and they've got flannels, cleaning us, soap, and we give them to them for free.
For me, the Norwich community have come out, and last night from our past five, they don't need nothing to eat.
They've got food in there to last them a month.
They've had pizza delivered.
They had kebabs delivered last night.
They've had beer.
They've had vodka.
They've got lager.
They've got biscuits.
They've got lamb.
They've got pork chops.
Everything what they want.
And it's called the meta.
We put a meta up for them.
Yeah.
So, wormed about Antifa.
We knew the Antifa were coming, but today is Gay Pride in Norwich.
And that is why we picked today, because we didn't want the left to come out.
We're here for one reason, for our children.
But the left, I've got another alternative.
They think we're racist.
We're far right.
I'm not far right.
I'm central right.
Right?
As you say again, what the police wouldn't have done, we had all could have cornered off.
The police moved him over to the other side, but they let him come in.
So I said to the police, you're making this bad because we're not going to get involved.
While the speaker was on stage with us, lot we have got evidence of the police marching antifa.
They did that in Epping, didn't they?
They've done the same today.
Why would they do that?
Haven't got a clue.
They wanted to see BBC News on IT.
Were they here?
Were mainstream media?
And did they interview anybody or did they sort of shoot you from afar?
We have told them, if you listen to me in diss, if anybody talks to the BBC, right?
Don't speak to them.
Don't speak to ITV.
Don't speak to Sky News.
Don't even speak to GV News.
I think GB News have been doing a pretty good job in fairness.
Would you agree that the... even if you're...
They're the best of the bunch.
I... I...
I think, I mean, some of their guys.
Yes.
They sent that.
And they sent that.
Yeah, they sent him over to Calais.
And I think he's doing a hell of a job.
As I'm a Tommy Robinsporter.
Me too.
You are, Ezra.
You know, we've been on a lot of dates.
With GB News, we're not to say his name.
All right, well, we don't have to talk about them.
So, what Antifa went and done then?
They've come in.
We had it all lined up.
Everyone was on pavements, both sides.
And what did our Patriots do?
They had to do it to stop them coming in because we've got young kids here today.
We didn't want to see it.
We didn't want to see it.
Journalist's Perspective on Migrant Crisis00:11:23
And they brought him in.
We've gone up to the road and the police couldn't handle it.
So the police then got him over the other side.
But with the police, with the liaison officers, they've been brilliant.
Okay, good.
Not one arrest.
No riot police.
Oh, good.
No riot police, nothing.
We've been working with the police there for this campaign in three weeks.
All I'm going to say is, please now, on the 8th of August, we are doing a national protest around the country.
And where are you going to be on that day?
I'll be here.
I'll be doing my own one.
I've been to Epping.
I've done Manchester.
I've gone around.
So now.
Well, let's go talk to some of these veterans.
Okay, you can take us over?
Thanks.
Let's walk carefully.
Lots of police fans.
Some honking cars.
I think that most of this rally and most of the cops attending the rally have dispersed down there.
I see cops clearly going home.
We're catching the tail end of it, but we were told that there were 1,500 at the height.
And apparently that number did come from police.
That's enormous.
Norwich itself has low six-figures population.
Depends on how you calculate it.
About 150 or 200,000.
that 1,500 people here is quite a large number.
Look at that.
Dan Tesfalool jailed for eight months and eight years and two months for rape in Norwich from the Brook Hotel.
So it's not just a prejudice or a hunch.
That's a convicted criminal from the Brook Hotel.
Imagine dozens or hundreds of men at a migrant hotel and they're lurking, they're stalking kids, and then the horrific thing happens.
An actual rape in Norwich.
You can imagine why families have come out to protest it.
Let's keep walking and talk to some folks.
What's your name?
It's Ian.
And are you from these parts or did you come in?
I've come in from Leeds, up in Yorkshire.
I've got a train down.
He's been here two days.
We've been sleeping out and we've got another night tonight, which is, as you can see, it's going to be a wet one.
I was going to say, it's a little wet.
And I hear that the fellas are bringing you lots of food to snack on.
Well, would you like to have a look at the back of the tent?
Well, sure, just for fun, yeah.
I hear there's a lot of supporters.
Wow, look at that.
A lot of stuff in there, and there's more coming today as well.
Well, that's got you set for Ben.
So we'll have to make room so we can sleep in there tonight.
So, so what's the meaning of having uh UK vets at this event?
Is there a special meaning?
There is a special meaning because these people here, right, the government are paying for these people who are these illegal immigrants, right?
And our veterans are out on the streets with nothing.
And I believe personally that our veterans, British people, should come first.
The British public should come first before illegal immigrants because they're not migrants, they're not afraid from countries from dangerous countries.
They're coming through nine safe countries to get here.
The reason why they come over here because we're easy, they get everything to come off the boats.
I mean, just for example, like this hotel, hotel, so that's the migrant hotel itself.
That's where how many men are in there?
There's 170 in there at the moment.
And are they all men or is there men and women?
All men.
170 men, and they're youngish men, like in their fighting age men.
Are they sort of because of the protests here, they're tucked away hidden inside?
Yes, what the security has done, as you can see, they've shaded out all the windows and all that.
They're not allowed to leave.
They didn't leave last night because there's a lot of workers here that work illegally for Deliveroo and other tips, and that's an extra £700.
Somebody run up to £700 per night.
As I've seen about the hotel, the guy's got five hotels, he's got five-year contracts, £2 million per hotel, and that's the start.
And they get free iPhones, they get a choice of iPhone or a choice of Samsung.
They have everything on it, all internet for internet.
Calls abroad, everything is free units.
They get paid £70 per week.
I heard something quite disturbing, and I'd like you to tell me if you have any information about it.
I hear that some of these men, when they're out of their hotel, they're lurking in playgrounds or other places with young people taking photographs of young girls.
Do you have any information about that?
Yes, I have.
If you walk up this road here, you'll see you see a bus stop, and next to that bus stop is an alleyway.
Further up the road, there are two schools: one's a primary school, and one is what we call a high school.
We call a high school over there as well.
And the children are coming down and they're coming to this alleyway, and that's where these guys here, these legal immigrants, are taking photographs, asking for phone numbers, asking for the Snapchats and everything.
There's already been three incidents in this hotel.
Two have been arrested and are now serving time.
One was for a full-on rape of a young girl.
He's serving eight years.
One was for a gentleman who exposed himself to a little boy in a toilet, a 14-year-old boy in a toilet.
The third one was arrested for attempted rape.
Also, he was actually let out on bail, taken from this hotel to a hotel in Ipswich.
Can I ask you what the local council, local politicians have to say about it?
Are they on the side of the migrant hotel or are they sceptics?
Are they worried about it?
They're not worried about it.
They're not worried about it.
If they're worried about it, these people would not be in this hotel.
Simple as that.
If the council were worried about that, these guys would not be in this hotel.
You know, the countries that you mentioned, I think you said Afghanistan, Iraq, Albania.
In at least several of those countries.
I know there's definitely one Syria in there, but they're all nationalities.
Are places where women, if they're not covered head to toe and this is correct treated like uh meat.
They don't treat women like we in the west treat our women and and I got to imagine that's changed how people here live that the girls are afraid to go out at night maybe, or by themselves.
They are.
They are I mean when, when Glenn first started this protest, there's a football thing not far from here and there was two there was a 13 year old and two 14 year old girls proposed by these illegal immigrants asking them for the phone numbers.
And what, and what did the girls do?
Did they go back to their parents?
Do they go to the police?
What they want parents, parents go to the police.
They'll get a crime number and that's all that will happen.
Nothing else will happen.
This is the thing, nothing is happening, nothing is getting done.
The terrifying thing i'm worried about, in addition to what you said, is sometimes these girls are tricked into being groomed, they're exploited or extorted and they're separated from their family and they're forced to do the grooming gangs, that is, the grooming gangs.
We might not even know about that because they might be in some blackmail position.
Well, Toby Robinson exposed these grooming gangs and the government done nothing.
Now the government said there's going to be an inquiry.
Now let me tell you what's going to happen to that inquiry.
Kierstarnburg said, no civil servant, no police officer will be arrested or investigated.
This investigation is an investigation and it's going to be an investigation.
That's all it's going to be.
There's going to be no end product to it.
So you, you were here you, you were.
Were you live streaming or were you just doing a general report?
Just general report, on the grounds.
I was in Eping the other day.
I didn't go to the one in Britannia, but i've come down to Norwich because it seems like it doesn't matter what part of England you're from, it's just widespread these migrant hotel protests.
Now let me ask you, you're an independent journalist.
Is that how you describe yourself?
A citizen journalist?
Yeah, that's what the label is.
But yeah, I just speak to the local people.
I try not to, you know have uh, speak to the politicians so much, but yeah, just local people who are concerned in their areas.
Well I, I think calling yourself an independent journalist or a citizen journalist is a badge of honor.
It shows that you are not part of some corporate blob or some government blob.
So I I I think you should wear that appellation with pride.
Yeah sure, I mean, if people want to call it that, that's fine, but I think people are respecting what we do a lot more now.
I think people are just seeing people on the ground, whether they're live streaming or post on youtube tick tock, and just seeing that you know it's not going to be manipulated anyway or have some particular agenda.
So yeah, it's really important, I believe.
How would you describe the coverage by the mainstream media of this migrant hotel issue?
BBC, Channel 4 ITV SKY um, do they have a, an ideology?
Do they have like a us versus them?
Like uh, do you think they're open-minded?
Do you think they have a bias?
What's going on?
How would you describe it?
No, they definitely have their own like way of putting things, but I don't think they have their own bias.
They can only cover what they can cover.
So if you saw down in Epping I think it was a Telegraph reporter tried to speak to one of the locals.
They're telling them to go away, so they don't want to speak to the mainstream media.
So, but the mainstream media can only go off what they can see.
They might see a certain flag, a certain politician there, and then it's suddenly branded as, oh, it's a far-right politician has kind of uh, hijacked the cause.
But if you just go on the ground 99, 99% women, children, fathers, and our local from the area.
Now, that's an interesting anecdote you told about the Telegraph being shooed away.
They're not actually terrible as newspapers go, but I guess people have lost so much trust in the regime that they don't even want to risk talking to establishment media.
I bet that reporter probably would have used whatever someone told him, probably fairly.
That's a fairly reputable paper, but I guess people just hate the media so much they don't trust them.
Yeah, I think in general, the mainstream media are just so restricted in terms of there's a lot of red tape.
They might have someone above them who tells them what they can and can't do.
The BBC, though, the BBC is at war with any protester.
Would you admit that?
I don't know what.
I don't mean to read too much in the headlines on what the BBC.
Well, good for you.
I wonder how many people under 30 actually get their news from the BBC.
But that's the thing, like, it could be just an age thing where people who are maybe a bit younger, but they just want to see what's happening on the ground more in depth, not just 30-second clips.
They want a good five, ten minutes.
They want to be like in there in the action.
They don't want to surface-level stuff anymore.
They want to know who's committing the crime, nationalities who are living there, and that just doesn't get reported anymore unless there's people like us on the ground.
What's the best way for people to follow your stuff?
Yeah, so just on YouTube, Wednesday Winter, I'll be at most of these protests moving forward, and I think you'll see other citizen journalists who will be here as well.
So, yeah, just search anything regarding hotels and migration that is going on, and you'll see a long list of people.
That's great.
Thanks for talking to me.
I got here a little later than I wanted to, but I feel like you're really helping fill in the blanks for me.
Yeah, no, thanks a lot.
And also, like Raino's shine, even if you're here quite late, you can still see that people here that do care will stay out.
Vigilantism and Immigration Pressure00:02:23
They won't just go away as the counter-protesters did when they're told to.
They want to stay here as long as they can.
So, yeah, all the best to these guys.
We're here tonight as well.
And last night, the Deliveroo guys who work illegally and don't pay taxes either.
Nobody left that hotel last night because of us.
Nobody left because I was awake all night.
You know, it seems to me that part of the social contract between individuals and the government is you give the government the monopoly of violence and you say to the police and to the strong hand of authority, you protect us, and we won't do any vigilantism.
We'll be happy.
I wouldn't call it vigilantism, but what I call it is the police are doing nothing, and the British public are now coming to light.
People are starting to believe what Tommy believes in now.
That's the most important thing, right?
People are rising now, and vigilantism sadly will happen because the police are taught, the police are on the ground walk here.
They are told from above what to do.
That's what I'm worried about.
I don't believe in vigilantism.
I don't want chaos and anarchy, anarchy.
But what happens when the people who you give the authority to use force?
What happens when the police, instead of policing the threat, police those who criticize it?
And there's a lot of strong men here, and there's a lot of sort of mama bears worried about their children.
There's nothing more valuable than a child.
There's nothing at all.
I mean, I'm an old man.
I'm 58.
I'm a 58-year-old veteran now.
We are protesting today, and this demonstration is being for the future of our children and of that lady's children, of that young lady there for her children when she eventually has children.
This is what we're doing it for.
How's this going to end?
How is this going to end?
All illegal immigrants out of this country.
Simple as undocumented and illegal immigrants out of this country.
In the United States, they're doing it.
So it's possible.
We haven't got a Donald Trump.
We've got a very weak leader.
What do you think of Nigel Farage?
Nigel Farage is okay for now, but we need a stronger leader than him.
We need somebody who's got strength.
When what we need is more right parties, not far right, none of this Nazis and what people call it.
The right.
We need more of them in so we can get the Conservatives, because they're just as bad as the Liberal Party, to get them out and get the right in.
