‘English nationalist’ content creators film themselves in asylum seekers’ house

A Home Office accommodation provider has launched an investigation after English nationalist content creators posing as contractors filmed themselves entering a property housing asylum seekers. The video, titled "HMO Hunting in Leicestershire", was posted to the Truthhurts101UK YouTube account, which describes itself as being run by an "English nationalist citizen journalist" and claims to cover "immigration, demographic change, policing and stories others overlook".

The footage was also posted to the associated TH101UK’s X account, where it has been viewed more than 300,000 times. The video shows three men accessing the back entrance of a house in Leicestershire accommodating asylum seekers. The men enter via an unlocked back door and move through several rooms of the house, including the kitchen, where they examine the contents of the fridge. They repeatedly claim to be looking for "paperwork", searching through a pile of letters near the front door and boxes discarded in the back garden.

The man filming, who narrates the video, claims he is the first to "document" this property. When the men filming encounter three individuals, believed to be asylum seekers living at the property, in the kitchen, they tell them they are contractors sent to assess the property for repairs. They ask one man living at the property whether the property is run by Serco, a Home Office contractor used for asylum seeker accommodation, which the man confirms, and whether he has "paperwork", which he says he does not.
