‘Disturbing!’ Green councillor has grandchildren write Valentine’s Day cards to Crowborough asylum seekers
Crowborough will soon accommodate more than 500 single men on an Army base, according to Labour plans.
A Green councillor has revealed that she and her grandchildren had written Valentine’s Day cards to asylum seekers at the Crowborough migrant camp.
Anne Cross, an East Sussex County Councillor, stated that the cards will be delivered to the males over the romantic weekend.
at video footage of a recent meeting released by Guido Fawkes, the councillor says:
“My grandchildren and I painted some Valentine’s cards over the weekend, which we are going to present to the men in the camp in Crowborough as a welcome.” Mrs. Cross’s MP, Nusrat Ghani, described her remarks as “disturbing”.
Mrs Ghani asked, “How come Wealden councillors don’t have the time or confidence to meet with MPs or the community about asylum seekers in Crowborough, but they do have time to encourage youngsters to make Valentine’s cards and give them to single adult men – strangers.
“It’s disturbing, irresponsible, and disregards safety. This is not a good idea.” The Crowborough camp now houses 27 migrants.
The arrangement began in January and will host more than 500 single male asylum applicants aged 18 to 65. Thousands gathered in Crowborough’s town centre earlier this month to oppose Labour’s decision.
Wealden District Councillor Michael Lull told GB News, “This is the thirteenth week.Thousands of people have shown their support for Crowborough despite the rainy weather. “The protest will not end.”
The Home Office stated that the decision to place asylum seekers in military accommodation is “just the first step in the Government’s work to exit hotels,” with plans to place them in taxpayer-funded council houses instead.
Last year, youngsters as young as five were urged to create “Valentine’s Day cards” for asylum refugees.
The Schools of Sanctuary Network coordinated the exercise, which included penning messages with the tagline “You are welcome here!” Laura Trott, the Shadow Education Secretary, said that “children as young as five shouldn’t be used to push political agendas” at the time.
Last year, the Schools of Sanctuary Network issued a carefully worded statement denying that students submitted personal Valentine’s cards to people in the asylum system.
They further stated that the inscriptions included “Welcome to our town” and “We hope you feel safe here”.
Another school hosted a “Special Refugee Day” on Valentine’s Day, with asylum seekers speaking to young children who were then instructed to draw messages and hearts for the refugees.
The organization stated that the “vast majority” of the messages were exhibited in classrooms, but admitted that “in a small number of cases, schools gave them to local refugee support groups”. GB News has contacted the Green Party for comment on Ms Cross’ views.
