The Facebook groups show that Homeland has been active in various spots around the country, including Epping, Wethersfield, Peterborough and Nuneaton.<\/p>\n
One group, Nuneaton Says No<\/a>, is run by five people: Tom King, Jennifer Jardine, Matt Alexander, Adam Clegg and Andrew Piper.<\/p>\n It has been advertising a protest on Saturday under various labels, including \u201cStop the Boats\u201d and \u201cWomen Wear Pink\u201d \u2013 a reference to the \u201cPink Ladies\u201d protests outside the Bell hotel in Epping. In the comments section, one member posted: \u201cShould\u2019ve maybe done this on a Friday. You know. When the Council are actually in their offices, as opposed to when it\u2019s just an empty building.\u201d<\/p>\n Clegg and Piper were recently named in the Times<\/a> as members of Homeland and have been pictured holding the party\u2019s campaign material. Both were also involved in trying to organise the Epping protests.<\/p>\n King\u2019s profile photo resembles that of Tom Huburn-King, Homeland\u2019s West Midlands regional organiser. Jardine\u2019s profile picture shows her posing in front of a Homeland party sign. Alexander\u2019s Facebook photos show him having recently visited the Eagle\u2019s Nest in Germany, built by the Nazis close to Adolf Hitler\u2019s alpine holiday home.<\/p>\n Another group, Wetherfield Says No, is run in part by Callum Barker, another person named recently by the Times as being a Homeland activist. Barker was one of three people to run the Epping Says No<\/a> group along with Clegg and Piper.<\/p>\n Barker and Piper both recently posted Facebook messages saying: \u201cIf you live in an area that has a hotel occupied by asylum seekers, start organising. Gather family, friends, locals and protest; make your voices heard. We are united in this struggle and in the end we will win.\u201d<\/p>\n A smaller group has been set up to organise protests around a hotel in Peterborough, the profile of which prominently shows Homeland-branded signs.<\/p>\n The Guardian has attempted to contact all of the named individuals and the Homeland party but has not received a response.<\/p>\n Quick GuideContact us about this storyShow The best public interest journalism relies on first-hand accounts from people in the know.<\/p>\n If you have something to share on this subject you can contact us confidentially using the following methods.<\/p>\n Secure Messaging in the Guardian app<\/strong><\/p>\n The Guardian app has a tool to send tips about stories.

The hotel became the focus of anti-migrant protests after an asylum seeker living there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755954134_911_4000.jpg\")
