Far-Right Restore UK "Purge" Caravans from Roads!

Great Yarmouth: Robert Lowe Applauds “No Nonsense” Approach as Restore UK Council “Purges” Caravans within 7-Days of Taking-Office! (14.5.2026)

Why is there a lack of Council Housing? The reason is two-fold following the steady but relentless selling-off of all Council Housing stock into private ownership since 1979 – and the requirement (by Human Rights legislation) to house recently arriving migrants (illegal and legal) before established British people. Indeed, it is this latter policy which has led to a substantial working-class vote deserting the left and falling-in behind the more right-wing and far-right parties (the far-left is dead in the water in this respect – a victim of its own cyclic ideology). Although the Greens did well in the Norwich area in general – with Reform UK coming second – it was in Great Yrmouth that Restore UK won all nine available seats being contested (Robert Lowe was thrown-out of Reform UK for being “too far-right”). As Restore UK also won a seat on Norwich Council – as a party it won all ten-seats it was contesting. The far-right is a one-trick pony in that its policies are fuelled by short-term “hate” that only really work in knee-jerk reactions to perceived threats. As the supporters of the far-right are fickle – what seems like a problem today – might not be viewed as a problem tomorrow. This is why moving quick is important for the fascists and you cannot move any quicker than just seven-days after taking-power.

Plugging in a microwave does not make a room a flat, a judge has ruled

UK: Judge Johns KC – “A Room Cannot Be Turned into a Flat Simply by Plugging in a Microwave!” (1.1.2026)

The owners also challenged that decision, but judges at another tribunal ruled in the council’s favour again, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Judge Johns KC said a room could not “be turned into a flat simply by plugging in a microwave.”

He added there was “no relevant storage, no food preparation area” and that planning laws were supposed to “protect people in the occupation of their homes, not to encourage them to cook their own meals”.

Despite the second rejection, the company has now sought to appeal the verdict.

A hotel spokesman said the building stopped housing homeless people about two years ago.

Paul Wells, the council’s Conservative portfolio holder for licensing, said the authority was “delighted” with the ruling, which “sets a precedent for all local authorities that want to improve housing standards for residents”.

“Our teams worked exceptionally hard to achieve this result and deserve real credit,” he added.
