In England, Crowborough, a town scarred by a year of anti-migrant protests

Natalie Whittle, the mayor of Crowborough, expresses concern over local issues, including damage to a war memorial and the display of flags by anti-migrant protesters. The town has seen rising tensions due to the planned accommodation of asylum seekers in a nearby military camp, leading to weekly demonstrations by residents and their allies. Whittle criticizes the use of the Union Jack on lamp posts, emphasizing its proper display on official buildings. The situation reflects broader national trends of anti-immigrant sentiment and the influence of far-right movements.
