Imagine a Tuesday morning. You’re sipping tea, and suddenly, your street is a human megaphone. That’s Epping right now. Protesters are out in force, shouting about asylum seekers being housed in local hotels.
Fun fact: one protester brought a llama. No, seriously. A llama named Gerald. He wasn’t protesting—he was just confused. But he stole the show.
Why the Fuss?
The core issue? Safety concerns. Locals worry about “unknowns” arriving in their neighborhood. It’s the classic “stranger danger” but on a council estate scale.
Quirky detail: one sign read, “No Asylum Seekers, We Have Enough Drama.” Drama? That sign is literally adding drama. Irony, anyone?
