Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is “finished” unless the Government moves “radically” to tackle the growing migrant crisis in Britain.
Speaking to GB News, Former Head of Public Order Kevin Hurley stated that the “growing resentment” among Britons will not cease unless Labour acts.
Following mass protests outside a migrant hotel in Epping, Britons have taken to the streets across the nation to demonstrate against the use of hotels to house illegal migrants.
Highlighting the concerns of Britons up and down the country, Hurley stated: “What we’ve learned is if Labour doesn’t do something quickly, they’re finished.
“Because we are seeing a growing buildup of resentment in the public about uncontrolled illegal migration as opposed to legal migration, because, of course, to enter the UK or without the correct documentation is in fact a criminal offence.

Kevin Hurley has warned that Labour is ‘finished’ unless they act on the migrant crisis
“We are seeing a build up of resentment up and down the country, particularly with these hotels and these essentially young men being planted on people’s villages where they have different cultural values and different ideas, and people don’t like it.”
Criticising the operation of the police in handling the protests, Hurley recalled the riots of 2011 and claimed officers have “still not got their mobilisation processes correct”.
He explained: “The police have learnt that they need to get sharper at mobilising assets and deploying them to trouble spots to try and control what’s going on. They’re in a worse position that they were in 2011, because less officers now want to do that kind of work these days.
“And it’s apparent, funnily enough, from the recent incidents in Essex and the US President coming over, that they still have not got their mobilisation processes correct to move people around the country.”

Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets across the UK against the use of migrant hotels
Reflecting on the recent spike in protests about migrant hotels, Hurley assured that the demonstrations will not be “on the same level as 2011”, as it is a “different type of protest”.
He added: “I don’t think we will see trouble to the same level that we saw in 2011, because this is a different type of riot or protest. These people are coming out around the hotels and so on are essentially ordinary people who live in the localities.
“Yes, some troublemakers come in, whether they are from some extreme right wing group or from antifa, but they’re not the same as the 2011 ones, where they were essentially opportunists, inner city yobs who went out looting.”
Warning the Government of the “one lesson” they need to adopt in tackling the migrant crisis, Hurley concluded that they must “do something radical” to stop record numbers crossing the Channel.

Hurley told GB News that the ‘only way’ to properly tackle the migrant crisis is to ‘replicate what Australia did’
Hurley told GB News: “So in conclusion, I think the one lesson that comes out here is that Government needs to do something radical to take away the attractiveness of the offer for people to come here. Putting them in hotels or even housing of multiple occupation is not going to stop it.
“The only way is to replicate what the Australians did, or even indeed what Trump has done in America, which has put them straight into detention camps.
“Where of course, they’ll get their basic food and they’ll get a roof over their head and medical, but they will not be allowed to walk around and they will not be able to say, look at the great life we’re having.”
