Parents in Wigan, England, have been left fearful as male migrants hosted in a local hotel are accused of roaming the community harassing underage girls and filming them through schoolyard fences.
Migrants put up in the Britannia Hotel by Serco, one of a small number of scandalâridden private corporations who earn big money accommodating and monitoring illegal migrants for the government, arguably not very well, are hanging around outside the entrances to schools, leering at and recording schoolgirls during PE (Physical Education) workouts through schoolyard fences, and harassing young girls at a local landmark called The Line, according to Wigan Today.
In one case, a 12-year-old girl was reportedly surrounded by migrant men and recorded on their mobile phones as she burst into tears, before being rescued by âlocal heroâ Ross Pilkington, who managed to extricate her from the situation and escort her home.
âI dread to think what would have happened if he hadnât been there. My husband Dominic and I have drummed it into our children about stranger danger and what you should and shouldnât do, but Iâm not sure what I would have done if faced with that situation. Iâm pretty sure our older girl would have just frozen,â said the girlâs mother, named by Wigan Today as Vikki Boyle.
âWe rang the police straight away. Our daughter was sure she could identify five out of 10 of them,â she added.
The police, who have something of a reputation for being disinclined to act against migration-background men grooming British girls, decided that âno offences [had] been committedâ, however.

âThe behavior of a small number of men from the Britannia Hotel has been causing a lot of upset,â said one mother.
âThey clearly need educating. If you flee from your own country and want to be accepted in a new one, then you need to learn the new countryâs ways.
âThe last thing we want is all the right-wing thugs using this as an excuse to bring their toxic messages to Wigan again and whipping up racism,â she added, as if this should be peopleâs primary concern rather than the risk that underage girls might be sexually assaulted by men being left at large in the community while their asylum claims are vetted.
Another mother did say that there are âpolice around Standish High [School] now just after school because of what has been going on and that offers some reassurance,â but said that her own âdaughters are being taken to school and back and are going nowhere else on foot at the moment because I donât feel itâs safe.
âThe behavior is borderline legal-illegal so people arenât being arrested but the worry is that this could escalate if itâs allowed to continue,â she fretted.
Vikki Boyle said she did not like âkeeping our daughters in all summer holiday because of these men who are hanging aroundâ after they had previously been unable to move freely because of the Wuhan virus pandemic, complaining of the impact on childrenâs mental health.

Local government did not seem especially interested in the issue in their comments to Wigan Today, with a spokesman merely issuing a boilerplate statement about âworking closely with our colleagues at GMP [Greater Manchester Police] to ensure any reported concerns are considered and responded to in the most appropriate manner, and also to coordinate offers of help and support for the asylum seekers whilst they are in our borough,â as well being in âregular contact with the Home Office and Sercoâ.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Labor’s Lisa Nandy, was somewhat more robust, saying that âThe Home Office must stop treating councils and communities with contempt and work with our local authority to ensure suitable alternative accommodationâ and complaining that the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, had not even âhad the courtesy to respondâ to a letter she had sent regarding the issue.
The Britannia Hotel was used as migrant accommodation by Serco some years ago but the company ended the arrangement after it proved to be unsuitable, and according to Wigan Today their turning to it once again has been done âwith no notice or consultation with the police, council, [Lisa Nandy] or the local communityâ.
