Nigel Farage has hailed the decision to move migrants out of a controversial asylum hotel as a 'great victory' - as he called for it to be an 'inspiration' to the rest of Britain.
Council leaders yesterday won the first stage of their battle to close the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, on planning permission grounds after it became an epicentre of anti-immigration protests, including some which turned violent.
The demonstrations were sparked when a migrant living at the hotel was charged with a series of sexual offences, including some against a 14-year-old girl.
Writing in The Telegraph, the Reform UK leader welcomed the decision by the High Court in London to grant the temporary injunction.
Mr Farage said: 'This is a great victory for the parents and concerned residents of Epping. Let it also be an inspiration to the rest of Britain.'
