'Starmer Out!': Thousands protest in East Sussex against asylum camp plan Crowborough, East Sussex saw thousands take to the streets after the government’s plan to house 600 male asylum seekers at a nearby army camp triggered outrage and safety fears. Locals marched with their children, chanted “Starmer out,” and backed Crowborough Shield, which has raised over £12,000 (about $16k) for legal action. Organizers say the site is unsafe, next to a firearms training centre, and riddled with issues like asbestos and poor water systems, while residents accuse the Home Office of hypocrisy and a lack of due diligence. Another protest is already planned for next weekend.Subscribe to @SputnikInt
