Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman has defended asylum hotel protests in Epping, Essex, after watching Patrick Christys’ shocking GB News exposé in Calais.
Speaking on the People’s Channel, Braverman raged at leftists for what she believes is a blatant attempt to shut down freedom of expression in Britain.
She said women and children were among those demonstrating outside hotels housing asylum seekers in Essex and they were doing so out of fear of what might be to come.
It came after she watched GB News star Patrick Christys head to the French coast to find out just how stark the crisis is.

“Patrick and GB News deserve a huge amount of credit for busting the myth on the reality of this migrant crisis”, she said.
“It just shows what a farce our asylum system has become. There are violent, organised criminals who are playing our system and making a lot of money on the backs of others to get into our country illegally.
“It’s not true to say all these people are vulnerable, persecuted individuals fleeing torture.
“No. What Patrick has shown is these are very determined, deliberate gangsters breaking our laws.”
Patrick’s trip to Calais saw him come face-to-face with an individual suspected of smuggling migrants across the Channel.
The explosive undercover exposé saw Patrick pose as a Vietnamese migrant seeking aid from the suspected trafficker.
He arranged a meeting with the individual who then refused to converse with Patrick once he found out his true intentions.
“Are you a human trafficker?”, he repeatedly asked the individual.

The person denied the suggestion before telling Patrick he does not understand English.
“That’s strange, you spoke English when you messaged me before, didn’t you?”, Patrick replied.
The GB News star headed to Calais amid fears Britain is on the brink of civil unrest with protests breaking out in Epping against asylum hotels.
Braverman told Dawn Neesom she has sympathy for those protesting, arguing it is not racist to be concerned about how your local community is changing.
Braverman served as Home Secretary in two previous terms during the previous Conservative administration under both Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak.
She has long been outspoken on the need to protect Britain's borders and cut down on mass migration.
