Banning British Flags in Britain is the final straw.Two councils did. It has caused Raise the Colour. It is a Protest. Take it down now there could be riots. It is no good trying to clean off the red cross. It is no good fighting - I feel 'they' will lose. They should just leave it.

I also feel it is acceptable to take other flags down that are not home flags.

I find a man saying bacon (4 police)is now arrested as was someone waving a flag (4 police) and police x 4 trying to stop a chap going up yo fly the flag.

DIFFERENT CLASSES YOU NEED PP

HOTEL

Planning law distinguishes between hotels and hostels based on their primary use and intended occupiers, with hotels generally falling under Use Class C1.

Hotels (Use Class C1)

• Temporary Accommodation: Hotels provide short-term lodging for the general public on an individual basis.

• No Significant Care: There is no element of care provided for people in need of it.

• General Public: They are open to anyone, not specific groups with particular needs.

HOSTEL

Considered a Sui Generis (unique) use or C2 (residential institution). Key factors include the permanence of stay, the level of care or support provided, sharing of rooms by unrelated individuals, modest charges, and whether the accommodation is intended to be a permanent home rather than a temporary stay, which are all common characteristics of a hostel.

Hostels

• Communal Living:

  Hostels offer shared accommodation, often with unrelated individuals sharing rooms.

• Long-Term Stays:

  They can accommodate residents for longer periods, sometimes as their main home, especially in the case of asylum seekers or homeless individuals.

• Provision of Care or Support:

  Hostels may also include an element of care or support, which can classify them as a Sui Generis use or under Class C2 (residential institutions).

• Specific Occupier Groups:

  They are often used for specific groups such as asylum seekers, the homeless, or those needing temporary housing.

See HOSTEL News for More Details.

Key Differences in Planning Terms

• Permanent vs. Temporary:

  Hotels are for temporary stays, while hostels can serve as a more permanent residence for some occupiers.

• Care Element:

  The presence of care or support can shift a use from a C1 hotel to a C2 use or a Sui Generis use.

• Shared vs. Individual Rooms:

  While hotels provide individual rooms, hostels commonly involve shared rooms, even for unrelated strangers.

• Charges:

  Modest daily charges for lodging and meals are often more characteristic of a hostel than a hotel.

When a Hotel Might Be Considered a Hostel

• A building previously operating as a hotel might be reclassified if it starts housing people for prolonged periods.

• The significant and substantial usage by a group, such as asylum seekers, with strangers sharing rooms and residing there as their primary home, points towards a hostel use.

• Payments made by agents of a public body for the accommodation are also an indication of hostel-type use.

• When is a hotel a hostel

  2016 — Under the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 2015, hotels are within use-class Hotels prioritize private rooms, extensive amenities, and formal service, offering luxury and comfort for higher budgets. Hostels, conversely, are budget-friendly, focusing on communal living with shared dormitory-style rooms, kitchens, and common areas to foster social interaction among travelers. The distinction centers on privacy versus community and price point versus luxury amenities.

The Council has lost. The Home Secretary has the power to do anything she likes. Illegal Hostels are now Hotels. It's made a mockery of all our planning Laws. A buiding now can be classified as a Human and falling under the ECHR. There are other places like secure camps!

MODERN BRITAIN. Banning the English or Union Flag in the UK is not a good idea when Palistian flags can fly

Why is this Government fighting itself, the councils by appealing the Hostel's (Hotels) decision? That makes them look more stupid if they lose. If they win the pink ladies and flags will continue.

It appears you can whip up a crowd call the not right wing right wing Nazis and cut their throats with a gesture. Write a few hurty words on Facebook, twitter (30 people reportedly arrested per day) and put in prison. Cannot say bacon admittedly on its own. Not a bacon sandwich . Maybe one could open a portable cafe selling bacon or sausage sandwiches with or without the bread. That might really excite the fashion police. Four of them trying to prevent an English flag going up on a lamppost is not a good look. I would now suggest that every lamp post in the kingdom is in danger., if not already. The Dragon in Wales and St. Andrew in Scotland has started. The cost of paint is cheaper than the cost of a council worker trying to remove it. Police should be in shopping centres trying to stop crinimals stealing and not complaimg when the shop keeper puts a sign up calling thieves scumbags.

HELP!" What most people do not realise.

Whilst there are peaceful protests outside most Hostels (Hotels) and flags of unity are flying high this Government is repealing the very ACT we need. Its called the

ILLEGAL MIGRANT ACT 2023. (A Tory act).

It's still in force... JUST

It's the very thing we need and before Christmas it will be repealed and replaced. Whilst the country is bailing the water out of the sinking ship, the Goverment are putting a huge hole somewhere else. It will let in more Migrants and it turns what was illegal to legal.

The Illegal Migration Act 2023 (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (The Amendment Regulations) were introduced in July 2024 to amend the UK's Illegal Migration Act 2023, making it possible to process asylum claims and grants of British citizenship for some asylum seekers who arrived in the UK after March 7, 2023. The regulations lifted a previous ban on citizenship for these individuals and created a pathway for their asylum claims and settlement applications to be considered in the UK.

Its not the ACT that needs repealing but the amendment and this Government.

This is the pinnacle of everything that has gone before?

What will it be in 2026?

Well they will beat that when they drive us to bankruptcy. Austerity will look like good times, happy days, living of the fat of this fine land.

Taxes higher, property tax higher, interest rates higher, inflation higher, house prices fall. The £ in your pochet will look 20% smaller. I think it's called the 'doom loop' where the interst on our borrowing is more than what we are borrowing. Once the market smells blood and interest rates go, it's curtains. Reeves will be calling the IMF. They give bailouts with strings attached

Camp before deportation?

The Goverrnment should take this as a reset to implement the changes for deportation that families are demanding. On the finacial front we are likely the country bankrupt sometime in 2026. The IMF will be called, with interest rates rates risungnegative equity will be the order of the day

71% of the rubber boat brigade get in 2018 - 2024.

So it was illegal Migrants in illegal Hostels (HOTELS) done by a contract that was void.Who was responsible for the breach? It was the local council if they did not serve notices even if the hotels did not apply for the change.

Do you think the Hostels (Hotels) should have their Planning permiossion to return to a Hotel refused. It's your call - use it. If no planning is refused should the Hostels/Hotels get pulled down?

The Hotel licence expired when they opened the doors to migrants. Civil Sevants (and their Lawyers) cocked up. They never checked to see if the Hotels had applied for Planning for change of use.

Can the Government get their money back for the Hotel/Hostels breach of contract.

The Councils were negligent in not doing the job - or their planners -should have done from the start.

Should the victims of rape sue the Government and the Council?

The fall out couldbe hurrendous

A lawyers dream all in one go.

Could the migrants sue as well if they claimed the accommodation was substandard. They were put in illegal accommodation.

Insurance Certificates would not be valid if they were operating illegally' were they advised? Probably note. Any prior claims were fraudulent.Good luck if there is a fire.
