Anyone who knows Crowborough will understand how deeply this is affecting our town. This government is putting our community at risk, and at times we feel powerless. Yet we remain united - working tirelessly together behind the scenes - we won’t give in.

Until is starts affecting many towns which it will people will to continue to be asleep because it is not affecting them.

@Kat071014 Very true. With leaks that 14 other sites are supposedly being considered across the country, it’s only a matter of time

Been and trained in that camp. Last I checked it's still an active training grounds for Armed Forces and Forces Cadets. Apparently housing migrants takes priority over training and activities for citizen Forces and Cadet activities. Suppose they'll train the migrants for war?

Unfortunately, Friday was the final day the Cadets had access to the site. Many reisdents went down to clap them out on Thursday and Friday. The site is officially handed to the Home Office tomorrow (although they’ve been doing works there for weeks). Sickening.

You voted in a "refugees welcome" MP, until it was decided to place said economic migrants in your location, then suddenly it's "refugees not welcome after all". When useful idiots reap the karma they sow.🙄

Crowborough is a wealthy area. There will be locals who are lawyers, and residents with money and resources who can fight and advocate for the area. Not so much for the towns and villages up North who’ve gone before 😥

It’s devastating that this can happen to any community. We’re mounting a costly legal challenge, but we’re well aware that the system is set against us. I feel deeply for all the other communities suffering with HMOs, camps, and hotels

@daveatherton Sadly unless you block the site like the Welsh did then these marches are quite simply pointless. Plan to occupy the site or block it. Nothing else can stop it.

@daveatherton We’ve also been doing this, with volunteers taking turns covering the entrance whenever they have time. Once the news breaks, or we see movement, we will all descend to the site.

Well done to everyone who turned out, and a particular well done to all the organisers. More power to you all. 🏴

@WeAreYellows49 Lived in Crowborough for 3 yrs. When in TW worked at a Crowborough school for 5 yrs. Brother did training at the camp. Bet the HO will make improvements to accommodation for new residents because they'll claim current state not good enough despite being so for Service Personnel

It’s not just Crowborough, it is every town and city. Did you fight against this before these people were going to be placed in your town? NO I didn’t think so.

I have been vocal about my views on this matter and personally voted for Reform. But yes, unfortunately a lot of people put their faith in other parties and have been seriously let down.

Good post, Lily, shared.

Thank you! We appreciate it!

Most welcome, appreciate Follow back too..😎🙏

Do keep it up. Well aware that most of the kids there walk to school as they stream past mothers house. Labour are ending a culture over night. Will try to attend again soon.

Yes, or some rely on the 29 bus service which stops directly outside the camp. Thank you!

Betrayed we're with you

Sending you support from a town that’s been flooded by these men, not in an army camp, but into HMOs, houses that should be for locals, with a 7 year long waiting list in the town, asylum seekers first apparently!

This useless government is an absolute shambles. Cannot protect borders nor deport those who illegally entered our country.

@ByrneBarry wishing you guys every strength and success 💪💪💪💪💪

Well done Lily and the people of Crowborough keep fighting. We are standing by your side.

The government doesn’t care about protests. People need to stop paying taxes, shopping or going to work! SHUT IT DOWN

i really dont now how these politician’s sleep at night , knowing that this country is in such a mess

I was visiting my mum in Heatherview and despite the rain , all of you were smiling & waving to us 👏👏

@AllisonPearson Men of crowborough get your own homeguard going. And when you see these illegal men leave there facilities round them up and walk them back. It’s now down to British men up and down the uk to do this until they start deporting every single illegal man woman child @RupertLowe10

I love to see communities working together. I wish however, that there was a way to unite our local-voices online, so they can't ignore us, or wait for us to go away. Citizens need a mechanism on X to unite their geographical voices! Location-based forums is that mechanism. We have more in common than they say we do.

Who did the locals vote for again? It surely cannot be a party that shouts 'refugees wecome' can it?

Tory MP

Well done guys…..🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴 we are all watching…..and we will be there if you need us🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴🏴

Crowborough is a beautiful place. Sadly, this government does not giving a flying fig about communities.

Well done the people of Crowborough. The country is behind your great efforts.

Government and lefties are causing a civil war, they cry as victims when they're targeted but for decades they have inflicted the harm. The guilt rests with them.

Can’t understand why they don’t put me in charge of relocating the Asylum Seekers and illegal immigrants. I know exactly where to put them: Crown Estate and National Trust properties. Miles from anywhere, lovely places, paid for by the Royal family‼️‼️

Bloody thick racists.

This government is putting many communities at risk 🤷♀️

Funny how you've all become...what do you liberals call us? Oh yeah, Far Right Racists....overnight. It was good for us. They were all scared humans who had been through unspeakable suffering. Now they're coming to your town.....that appears to have changed. Funny. I love it.

Fight, Fight, Fight #Crowborough 💪 “Don’t let them to destroy your town”

Very much feel sadness for the community of Crowborough. You have been badly let down by your weak & woke LibDem/Green local government. Keep up the protests and ensure that people listen to your concerns… We hear you, and we are with you!!! 💪 🇬🇧 🏴

400,000+ @lily_lna

If cadets won’t be safe on site at #Crowborough Barracks, NO girl, woman or anybody else, will be safe in Crowborough with illegal criminal invading parasites roaming free

Unfortunately, you chose to look the other way. Until, the problem of many working class communities became your problem too.

Voting for the conservatives. They are part of the problem you now have. I assume you are all nice people. Nice isnt enough.

Well done to every one of you. It looks cold and wet and yet there you all are, fighting for your neighbourhood. ❤️
