@Kimmibai1ey on LBC with Shelagh Fogarty - she doesn't hold back! @ShabanaMahmood is attempting to divert public attention away from the COLOSSAL MESS she has created here in Crowborough. How does she justify the impact on our cadets and other young people in our town. Just Reckless!

'If they're being deported, then they shouldn't be here anyway.' Crowborough Shield's director Kim Bailey believes Shabana Mahmood is a 'callous and dangerous woman' for allowing migrants to be housed in the area against the wishes of the locals.

@ShabanaMahmood YOU ARE A DISGRACE. Bragging about ruining communities & threatening residents for challenging your lies & corruption. A DAY OF SHAME FOR LABOUR @CrowShieldOff
The opening of Crowborough military barracks to house more than 500 asylum seekers is just the start. I will bring forward site after site until every asylum hotel is closed and returned to local communities. We are removing the incentives that draw illegal migrants to Britain.

@TalkTV You’ve followed the case & seen how underhanded the Home Office has been. @CrowShieldOff need everyone’s support as this is not about Crowborough & surrounding towns, this is about the wider national concerns, it’s about every hotel & camp opened crowdjustice.com/case/crowbo…

Anyone who has been following the case. This is a battle against a Home Office that has lied, deceived & hell bent on not listening to local or even national concerns. The type of issues facing the U.K.when the Hone Office get involved. @CrowShieldOff crowdjustice.com/case/crowbo…

These are the notices placed on Crowborough camp: a place where until a few weeks ago young people went for cadet training activities. It is now a 'prohibited place' under the National Security Act- an anti espionage/sabotage act. The HO aims to fill it with illegal migrants.

Every parent in Crowborough is definitely not feeling safe. Nor will the AS. The 2000 other towns you’re planning won’t feel safe either. @CrowShieldOff will keep fighting this ridiculous plan. Please donate and fight this with us crowdjustice.com/case/crowbo…

Cancelling it and securing our borders would be more welcome. However, we will continue to challenge and use every available mechanism to challenge this assault on our town! The @ukhomeoffice started a fight with the wrong community! @CrowShieldOff @Crowborough25 🇬🇧

Whilst this is a piece of positive news, we keep going… massive thanks to our legal team, the people of Crowborough for the strength and input and to the whole @CrowShieldOff team. @Kimmibai1ey #crowborough
SIGNIFICANT UPDATE Following sustained efforts by our legal representatives, the Home Office has written to us to outline the following; • No final decision on the use of CATC will be made before Christmas. • The site will not be occupied in 2025. #crowborough
