A Crowborough resident has said she is “astounded and appalled” after a Green councillor announced she and her grandchildren have written – and will now deliver – Valentine’s Day cards to asylum seekers housed in a nearby army base.
Anne Cross, who sits on East Sussex County Council, said the cards will be presented to the men this weekend.
In footage of a recent meeting revealed by Guido Fawkes, the councillor says: “My grandchildren and I painted some cards – Valentine’s Cards – at the weekend which we are going to be presenting to the men in the camp in Crowborough as a welcome.”
But the controversial move has ignited fury among residents, with local Sammy White unleashing her fury on Good Afternoon Britain.
She told GB News: “I’m absolutely astounded and quite frankly, appalled that this is even a topic for discussion.
“At what point does anyone, let alone a grandmother, a mother, think or realise that this is at “east not only inappropriate, but at worst, downright dangerous?
“These guys are unvetted, undocumented adult males, and I can’t believe for a second that she would encourage her grandchildren to send Valentine’s Day cards to a group of white British men, let alone these guys that we are hosting in camp?”
