Bell Hotel protester has charges dropped after waving Union Jack flag | UK | News

A staunch Epping protester who unfurled a Union flag from a council building during a migrant hotel demonstration has had her charges dropped. Sarah White, 40, climbed the steps at the Epping Forest District Council building after marching from the Bell Hotel, where she had given a speech on August 31. Wearing a T-shirt with “The only way is Epping” written on it, she was followed up the steps by police before being taken away. 

Essex Police said Ms White, of Chigwell, was arrested on suspicion of two offences under the Public Order Act 1986 and later charged – they said she had not been arrested for unfurling the flag. “These matters were due to be heard at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesda,y October 15, but they have now been withdrawn,” the force said.

Responding to the decision, Ms White said her treatment had been “unjust”.

“I have now received confirmation from the Crown Prosecution Service that there will be no further action taken against me due to insufficient evidence,” she said in a post on X.

“The reason there is no evidence is simple: I did not commit a crime.

“This was an unlawful attempt to intimidate and silence ordinary people who dare to speak out. It is unacceptable that dissent is met with force and fear.

“I will not be silenced. I will continue to stand up for our freedoms, for women, for children, and for this country.”

The Bell Hotel became the focal point of several protests and counter-protests in the summer after an Ethiopian asylum seeker housed there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping in July.

EFDC’s bid to block the use of the Bell Hotel as accommodation for asylum seekers is to be heard at the High Court on Wednesday. The authority’s last-ditch attempt for a permanent injunction is due to be heard across three days at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

At the end of August, the Court of Appeal overturned a temporary injunction granted by the High Court, which would have meant 138 asylum seekers could not be accommodated at the hotel after September 12.

However, EFDC may still be granted an injunction following the hearing in London. At the start of September, the Home Office lost a bid to push back the full hearing by six weeks.
