Crowds chant 'Keir Starmer is a traitor' after migrants moved into ex-army barracks

Hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets of a town housing migrants at a former army camp chanting 'Keir Starmer is a traitor'.

Locals in the east Sussex town of Crowborough gathered at the gates of the camp before marching into the town.

Around 450 male asylum seekers are set to move into the barracks as part of a plan to reduce the number of hotels used to house migrants.

For the past 14 weeks, protesters have gathered in large numbers every Sunday to raise their objections to the Labour government's controversial plans.

It was also revealed today that some women in the town say they are now too scared to leave their homes.

They braved poor weather and today vowed to continue the protests for 'months on end' until the migrants leave the camp.

Chants of 'whose town, our town' and 'Keir Starmer is a traitor' were heard.

It is the second protest to be held after migrants moved into the camp on January 19.

Other chants included 'Whose street? Our street'. Union Jack flags were also on display, as well as signs like 'Crowborough says no' and 'protect our community' as they marched the two miles from the army camp to the chapel green.

Locals today vowed to continue the demonstrations for 'as long as it takes'.

Alison Smith, who has been a resident of Crowborough for almost 50 years, said that it was the first series of protests she had attended.

She said: 'We are absolutely enraged that there has been no consultation with the Home Office at all apart from one online meeting.'

Michael Enfield, 45, said: 'We will keep going week after week. We will not stop until they are gone. If that takes years, so be it.

A major security operation is in force to keep the peace, which includes drones flying overhead.

Time to send in the Starmtroopers.

A BBC reporter on the scene was told to say that they were chanting "Let's Go Brandon" by a voice in her earpiece.

You weren’t exaggerating. That is certainly the best Amelia video I’ve seen.

It’s spot on. And it’s also rather sad. Because the English won’t rise up. They will instead adjust to their new (and terrible) reality.

They’re not “migrants”. They’re INVADERS.
