Crowds have taken to the streets of Crowborough, Sussex, after a former military base was turned into an asylum camp for up to 540 male migrants despite fierce local opposition over safety and stretched resources. The Mailhas the story:
Huge crowds of residents gathered today holding banners that read “Crowborough says no”, while counter demonstrators also turned up raising signs saying “Migrants welcome”, “Kindness is our strength” and “Stronger together”.
Sussex Police enforced strict new rules for the protest – organised by local campaign group ’Crowborough Says No’ – by banning face coverings.
The protest, which involved families and young children, began at the military site and moved into the town centre.
It came as up to 500 councillors across Britain are considering following the ‘Piddington blueprint’ after the Oxfordshire village voted to declare independence from the UK over plans to outnumber locals with male asylum seekers.
Residents in Piddington voted 285 to 26 in a symbolic referendum after the Government announced plans to convert a former military base into a camp for 1,256 male asylum seekers.
Since the Home Office proposals in June, locals have warned the male migrants would outnumber the 350 villagers by nearly four to one and increase the risk of crime.
The referendum result, which was declared on Wednesday morning, carries no legal weight – but campaigners wanted to send a message to Westminster.
While it is unknown whether Crowborough is considering following the blueprint, locals there have also protested tirelessly in a bid to stop the site in their area going ahead.
Plans to use the camp for housing migrants were first announced last October by the Government, before the move was confirmed in January – sparking the demonstrations.

I think it’s obvious that Reform 100% have the right idea;
House migrants only in constituencies which voted for parties who welcome them, i.e., Labour, Liberal, Green, SNP & Sinn Fein voting areas. That way, the voters get what they voted for. How can that not be democracy working for the people..??

I wonder what their MP Nusrat Ghani (Conservative) has to say about this?
( I haven’t read the article due to the paywall)
edit to add:
Crowborough Town Council operates with no single political party in overall control, featuring a mix of independent and party-affiliated members.
According to the Crowborough Town Council member directory, the council is made up of: Independents: 8 councillorsLiberal Democrats: 2 councillorsConservative Party: 2 councillorsGreen Party: 1 councillorUnspecified/Other: 1 councillorFor broader regional governance, Crowborough falls under Wealden District Council, which is currently run under joint leadership by the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats
the Lib/Dems and Greens strike again…

The people holding up the ‘welcome’ signs should be made to have at least two of the dinghy boys living in their houses with them. After all they will all be on ‘benefits’.
The Melting Pot may soon turn into a Pressure Cooker, if the Globalist World Government, No Border Political Class keep showing they are poisoned with contempt for a public that is seeing it’s National Identity diluted on a weekly basis.

Some youngsters I know of approached the be kind actors on another demo with clipboards asking for addresses of volunteers to accommodate the invaders. I don’t need to write more, do I? Who is paying these imported subversives?

Marching isn’t working.
Looks like Crowborough’s best course of action would be to source some crested newts, protected bats, dormice and perhaps some barn owls and ensure that they set up home in the vicinity of the camp.

They will be from Sussex Uni. Interesting they have ditched their usual expensive printed placards to show homemade ones.
They will get paid either way. I recognise a few of the retards from other protests. They are bussed in usually.

Well I am not a particularly kind person, but I think kindness may sometimes be an admirable quality, albeit often impractical. But what these scum bags are really saying is that everyone should be forced to be kind to specific people that these scum bags think are worthy of kindness. It is despicable and dishonest.
Invaders not migrants.
Here to invert and destroy.

Anyone notice the Be kind brigade (except to our fellow countrymen) are mostly geriatrics and students, demanding that we fund and feed their dangerous pets for them.

I couldn’t agree more.

Probably still made for them using taxpayers money.

Be kind to a predator and it will bite the hand that feeds it.

They are fake kind. The ultimate kind person was Jesus. He didn’t ask anyone to join him on the cross.
A lot of them are being paid to attend.
I wonder how many of the “be kind” unwashed are from the town? I’d wager they were shipped in from places yet untouched by the rapey scourge.
Wait till they get their own delivery!
Well, yes. Find out where they’re from. That’s where the next batch should go.
Sabotage their transport.
Yes, Piddington demonstrates this very well.
