Today was our West Sussex Full Council where we debated our motion aiming to address the funding gap for refugees, asylum seekers and demand transparency from the Home Office.
We used the hard data we could get, along with estimates we put together to demonstrate the possible hidden numbers in Crawley.
This demonstrated a hidden cost to the council for housing home office refugees in addition to the unfounded pressure through the refugee resettlement schemes.
We spoke about real life cases in Crawley, emotive ones, to show the real world effect of prioritising those coming from abroad over our own West Sussex residents.
What was the response?
LibDem, Labour, Green and Tory Party members unanimously opposed it.
Reform are for you, West Sussex. We stand alone in that. Remember this the next time you are asked to vote.

The left-wing extremist who is accused of murdering my colleague Ann Widdecombe and targeting my friend Nigel Farage "held an extreme left-wing mindset".
Now ask yourself:
Where is the big national debate about left-wing extremism?
Where are the BBC documentaries and podcasts about left-wing extremism?
Where are the calls to warn children in schools and universities about left-wing extremism?
Where are the government 'counter-terror units' stating that if you read, say, Karl Marx or Antonio Gramsci then you are "on a pathway to terror"?
Where are the think-tanks producing major research reports on left-wing extremism and its followers?
Where are the multi-million pound research grants going to academics who investigate left-wing terror?
If it was far-right we all know what would happen. Wall to wall blanket coverage, analysis, and debate.
Does anybody else notice the silence?
Astonishing.
We've created the room for widespread fraud and when consequences for it seem so weak, we have borderline incentivised it.
Time to get tough.
A civil servant is accused of fraudulently holding FIVE government jobs at the same time while working from home.
It's incredible.
Five different government departments ran his pay every month and not one of them noticed he wasn't working.
Prosecutors say he "worked" 183 hours in a 168 hour week. The taxpayer paid him £350,000.
He's alleged to have used sick notes to juggle his jobs around.
You can buy these online for as little as £30.
Under a Reform government, every single level of the Civil Service will be overhauled.
Government departments and public bodies will once again do what they were always supposed to:
Serve the British public.

This is totally dishonest journalism. I make it clear that I am opposed to the surrender of sovereignty to Mauritius. I would offer the use of Diego Garcia to the USA in perpetuity. In return I would want America to go quiet on the Falklands.
No one has fought harder to save the Chagos Islands from being given away than I have, unlike the Tories and Labour trying to give them away. I have even helped repopulate the islands with Chagossians.
I just spoke with one of the night marshalls we had in Crawley, keeping the high street safe for people enjoying a night out.
These were funded by the home office and cancelled earlier this year. I guess they had more important costs for Crawley.
This person tells me they receive messages from members of the public wishing for their return, citing the accelerated decline in safety.
Although right now I can not promise their return, it is the number 1 priority of your Crawley Reform group to make our town safe again. It's one hell of a task, but we will take it on.
Please tell me what British institution is not deceitfully trying to undermine the British identity?
I'm very angry at this.
The Bank of England DELIBERATELY FIXED the fake "public vote" to remove ALL historical figures from bank notes & replace them with nature images
Freedom of Information requests by the Telegraph revealed the decision to remove historical figures was based on a "focus group" of a mere 119 people
The Bank LIED because it previously claimed the decision was based on a "public vote".
In truth, however, even this vote was FIXED. Instead of having HISTORY v NATURE, the bank deliberately split the "history" category into 3 sections: historical events, historical figures, architecture & landmarks.
That was the only way that "nature" could win.
However, of course bank notes always combine at least two of those history categories. For example: Churchill & Parliament or Wellington & Waterloo.
The Bank's actions are indefensible and questions should be asked in the House.
The Bank of England has clearly been captured by progressive woke ideology. A visit to the Bank of England with its permanent exhibition on slavery makes that clear
This is part of the wider war on British history. It's an attempt to create a NEW BRITAIN, based on ridiculous myths that "Diversity Built Britain" and that Britain has always been multicultural.
Remember: the Bank of England issued a 50p coin (held aloft by Rishi Sunak) which was imprinted with the nonsensical statement: "Diversity Built Britain"
Anyone who lived behind the Iron Curtain will find all of this eerily and scarily familiar.
The pulling down of statues, the renaming of streets and schools, the rewriting of history, denigrating heroes, changing bank notes etc....these were all tactics of the communists.
Severing the connection between a people and their history is the best way to demoralise a society and prepare them for the imposition of new myths.

STATEMENT:
The man charged with murdering Ann Widdecombe with a hammer has now also been charged with preparing acts of terror against Nigel Farage MP.
Today, a court heard he allegedly travelled to Nigel's home last year and tried to break in.
A bottle of lighter fluid was found on the porch.
This apparent firebomb attempt was investigated at the time.
The police received CCTV footage of the incident.
It has since been revealed that CCTV from Nigel's home captured both a suspect and their car "over an extended period".
And yet, despite being in possession of that CCTV footage, the police claimed they could identify no suspects and closed the case.
Read those last two sentences again.
Counter-terror police have since referred themselves to the police watchdog, which is investigating a member of their staff.
Why did it take the brutal murder of my dear friend Ann for the police to do their jobs?
Anger does not begin to describe how we at Reform feel about this.
The Police and the Home Secretary have serious questions to answer about how threats against Reform are handled.
This is not going away.
As illegal immigration issues escalate around the Gosport area, I would like to draw your attention to the new centre being developed.
gov.uk/government/publicatio…
"The Home Office is proceeding with plans to open a redeveloped IRC at the former Haslar IRC at Gosport in Hampshire in 2027. Development is being undertaken in two phases: refurbishment of existing buildings (Phase 1) and new build accommodation (Phase 2).
Haslar IRC will be a mixture of refurbished and new-build accommodation built to the latest standards, taking account of findings from external scrutiny reports and internal lessons learned reviews to provide modern, safe, secure accommodation for detained men.
Around 130 bed spaces will be created through the refurbishment of the existing accommodation, compared with 198 places at the former IRC when it closed in 2016. Subject to planning permission and the necessary approvals, Phase 2 would provide around 470 additional places, increasing Haslar’s total capacity to around 600."
And here you can see the contract to build this was awarded back in July.

How can an entire town be locked down so we can import people to our country that we have no idea who they are, and the Home Secretary thinks could well be rapists?
The state is now egregiously acting against the interests of the people. Why? What are they trying to do to us?
Just for context this is the size of the order issued. 👇
Hampshire Police have imposed a Section 34 dispersal order over the whole of Gosport until 7am Tuesday, covering about 82,600 residents.
Officers can order people to leave and not return; refusal is an arrestable offence.
Face-covering powers and a designated protest area at Walpole car park are also in force.
The trigger is one small boat, reported as carrying dozens, that may be brought ashore at Fort Blockhouse. Utter madness..
There are some seriously concerning shenanigans being played upon our country at the moment. Suspicious flights into Liverpool and Gatwick, landings and lockdowns in Portsmouth.
What the hell is going on?
Two men are charged with child sexual offences in Crawley.
"Following further enquiries, Ali Farahang, 19, an Iraqi national of Hunter Road, Crawley, has been charged with attempted rape and human trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act."
"Adam Maina, 19, a Lebanese national of Bath Road in London, has been charged with rape and human trafficking under the Modern Slavery Act."
We do have a statement regarding these crimes, however in the interest of ensuring the court process completes properly, that will have to wait.
If you see us quiet on this, believe me it is with very good reason.
Thank you.

France is on fire and serves as a warning to Britain.
More than 600 arrested.
85 police and gendarmes wounded.
356 schools hit.
Masked rioters have torched schools, doused teachers in petrol and forced staff to barricade themselves inside.
In Nantes, the entrance hall of Nelson Mandela High School was burned out.
In Marseille, staff at Victor Hugo High were doused with petrol during an arson attempt.
Youths in balaclavas battered a fire engine until it caught fire.
Then cheered.
A headteacher was hit by a mortar firework and taken to hospital.
Shocking footage shows a policewoman chased and attacked.
Aerosol cans were piled up and detonated on one of Europe’s longest shopping streets in Bordeaux.
Buses, trams and metros have been shut in Marseille, Strasbourg and Grenoble.
The riots came after the left-wing mayor of Saint-Denis, Bally Bagayoko, declared that “violence can be legitimate.”
Britain has a far left that is emboldened and regularly calls for violence against their political opponents.
They (allegedly) murdered a beloved right-wing politician.
They are actively intimidating right-wing parties campaigning in the Holborn by-election.
With no consequences.
They are routinely aided by the state.
Remember the BLM riots?
The mob that toppled Edward Colston’s statue?
They were acquitted after arguing that the *statue itself* constituted a hate crime.
The Tories allowed the far left to act violently with impunity.
Labour is emboldening them further.
Unless we have political leaders brave enough to stand up to these people and take action, scenes like the ones in France will come to Britain too.
Britain needs Reform.
After Andy Burnham's hard-left socialist speech at the Labour conference, we can see what this government and the Labour party are all about: control.
Reform stands for liberty, safety, prosperity.
While we campaign for equality under the law, they push for DEI and race driven policing and justice.
While we try to get more money in your pocket, they raise taxes, raid pensions and print money as if your grandchildren weren't forced to pay it back.
While we want secure borders and a strong cultural identity, they rubber-stamp asylum claims and force them into our communities as they consume the public services that we rely on, adding more and more Brits into a state of desperation.
Nothing has changed under Labour. Only Reform can save this country.

Hang on,
@LucyTCWife was denied bail for a quickly deleted post.
Danny Tommo is denied bail.
However, five men arrested for a terror plot at RAF Fairford are released on bail.
Two-tier Britain.

Dear CPS,
Please confirm if you have charged the 80,000 + illegals who have invaded our country since the general election?
Please confirm why it is a crime to try to stop such illegality by doing the job the police & Border Force should be doing?
Please confirm why you think this is in the public interest. Millions will think the opposite, that you are bringing our justice system into disrepute and destroying people’s confidence in it.
Weird how you took many months to charge the Manchester Airport thugs for assault against police officers. (Only after I started a private criminal prosecution)
Yet you rush this through in days?
Seriously?

Tim is right to flag this issue for Crawley.
Mid Sussex is watching too – local councils should not play hide-and-seek with asylum numbers.
The Home Office records 304 supported asylum seekers in Crawley.
This is where the statistical gymnastics comes in. As soon as an asylum seeker is granted refugee status (which seems to be a rubber-stamping YES process), they come off the books. They will not publish refugee numbers.
So both the boroughs/districts and county councils are forced to support the mistakes made by successive governments. Our housing is stretched, school places diminished, SEND support far beyond capacity, adult social care costs ballooning and on and on.
We don't know the numbers because they are hidden. How can councils possibly plan and operate like this? They can't do so effectively so they go into tremendous debt and raise taxes thanks to these incoming and invisible extra pressures - mostly the fault of the Home Office and thus the governments of the past decades.
I've put together some provisional numbers and am pursuing getting something a little more accurate now.
