Description

Katy Bourne, Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner, proposes electronic tagging for male asylum seekers at Crowborough Training Camp. She aims to track around 540 men as a pilot program, arguing it could reduce crime and grant more freedom. The idea has sparked debate, with Conservatives supporting it, while Reform UK leader Nigel Farage opposes it. Protests have erupted against housing asylum seekers at the camp, with concerns over safety and past tagging trials being deemed unlawful. The Home Office states current law only allows tagging for deportation cases, leaving the pilot idea uncertain. Checkout Solipillow.com
