A women\u2019s anti-migrant group which gained notoriety during the Epping hotel protests has started a branch in Northern Ireland. <\/p>\n

The Pink Ladies group has surfaced in recent days and as of Monday had more than700 social media members.<\/p>\n

It is directly linked to the group that took part in the protests at the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex in recent months.<\/p>\n

The protesters in England originally got the name \u2018pink ladies\u2019 thanks to pink T-shirts they wore at the Epping protests.<\/p>\n

\"Three<\/a>\"Anti-immigrant<\/a><\/p>\n

They have been accused of being far-right<\/a> although the group denies the claims.<\/p>\n

The offshoot of the group uses the slogan \u201cUlster Women First\u201d and says it is a sister group of the English organisation.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe Pink Ladies NI group has formed in recent days <\/p>\n

\u2018Tersea Moon\u2019 one of the women involved with the original English group has posted on the Northern Irish group\u2019s page in recent days saying \u201cnothing will stop us\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhereever you are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland we stand in Unity! We stand with our heads held high with strength and resilience, nothing will stop us defending our rights as British Citizens,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

One of the Northern Irish group\u2019s organisers also echoed the close links between the groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cBig shoutout to our amazing sister group on the mainland Without their drive and dedication, this movement wouldn\u2019t even exist \u2013 and we wouldn\u2019t have been able to bring it over here to Northern Ireland. We\u2019re so grateful for their inspiration and proud to walk this journey together,” one of the organisers said.<\/p>\n

A series of posts can be found outlining upcoming anti-immigrant protests outside hotels and in loyalist areas across the north. <\/p>\n

Complaints on the group\u2019s page include criticising the sale of Halal nappies at a supermarket in the north.<\/p>\n

Underneath the post, which included various angry emojis, one woman commented \u201cBritish standards need to give their head a bloody wobble\u201d<\/p>\n

Another post on the page, shows photos of a group of brown skinned men and women talking to each other as they walk on a public road.<\/p>\n

One commenter underneath said: \u201cA male in Ballymena met this group of roma gypsies this morning at 9.15 am. This is why no woman or child in our town should ever be out and about on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Irish News contacted the organisers of the group but has yet to receive a response. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A women\u2019s anti-migrant group which gained notoriety during the Epping hotel protests has started a branch in Northern…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":445461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5011],"tags":[1105,5805,1144,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-445460","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-northern-ireland","8":"tag-far-right","9":"tag-migrants","10":"tag-northern-ireland","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115252923526936444","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=445460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/445460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/445461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=445460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=445460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=445460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
