Crowborough's illegal migrants, housed in an army training camp, are catching their taxpayer-funded bus to Crawley and not coming back, says resident Madeleine Gillies. And the Home Office doesn't seem to care.
As the first of hundreds of illegal migrants arrive and thousands of local residents protest, Shabana Mahmood declares "Crowborough is just the start". Those words will come back to haunt her, says Madeleine Gillies.
The Government claims it has made no decision on housing asylum seekers at the army training camp in Crowborough. Why then has food been delivered, signage erected and have job adverts been put out, asks Madeleine Gillies.
Margaret Thatcher's legacy lives on, says Madeleine Gillies. From Labour Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to Reform-defector Nadhim Zahawi, from Priti Patel to Laila Cunningham, figures across the parties cite her influence.
The Government has declared violence against women to be a national emergency. Yet it's about to dump 600 young men, many from misogynistic societies, into Crowborough. This is 100% incompatible, says Madeleine Gillies.
As the Home Office continues to prepare Crowborough army camp to host 600 illegal migrants, local residents brace for their town to be transformed for the worse, says Madeleine Gillies.
The residents of Crowborough in Sussex are battling the Home Office to stop 600 illegal migrants being housed in an army training camp. When will the Government start listening to local people, asks Madeleine Gillies.
Crowborough's been blindsided, says Madeleine Gillies, as locals learn their quiet Sussex town will host 600 illegal migrants in a former army camp – news that's stirred anger, fear and a deep sense of betrayal.
