Crowborough's been blindsided, says Madeleine Gillies, as locals learn their quiet Sussex town will host 600 illegal migrants in a former army camp ? news that's stirred anger, fear and a deep sense of betrayal.

We Need Properly Funded Palliative Care, Not Suicide on the State Sun Nov 02, 2025 15:02 | Toby Young
The assisted dying bill is a bodge job that hasn?t been properly thought through. But even with a better written bill, do we really want to grant the NHS the legal right to kill patients?

Instead of 4 packets of Walkers!!!!! Surely there'd be some tayto lying around in a silo or somewhere?
Hi Crisp Man !
We actually had three brands of crisps available at the Swim site (all donated by local shops) , including Tayto but, despite what Gary Winston Lineker OBE may have you believe , one of those brands did not prove popular. Whilst you're trying to figure out what brand that is , I'll just have a word with the adults that are reading this.
Hi Adults!
We had a hectic four-hour marathon on the banks of the Grand Canal in Inchicore , Dublin, yesterday (Friday 25th December 2009) with about 200 people to look after!
CABHAIR had ten swimmers at the event , Santa was ambushed and robbed by the Special Branch and blood was spilt (well , dripped , actually!) and we had a raffle for the swimmers (did YOU win one?) .
A report on the proceedings can be read here - http://1169andcounting.blogspot.com/ (post dated Saturday 26th December 2009) , pics from the Swim site can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below and , thanks to Paula , on this 'Indymedia' thread - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/95195?language=en&comme...63769
- and Oxana has some pics posted, too - just type oxan@ flickr into a search engine and click on the first link.
It was a very busy , noisy and successful event , for which the organisers , the crowd of about 200 people and the ten swimmers are to be congratulated - well done to ye all !
Thanks!
Sharon.
Santa rescues some of the Swimmers....
while id like to congratulate all those who took part in this event and affirm support for all republican prisoners Id suggest publishing a picture of someones bare arse was somewhat ill advised and lowers the tone .
Hi Kevin !
Thank you for your message of support for the aims and objectives of the Swim , but regarding the photograph in question , I don't agree with you that it lowers the tone .
It helps to highlight the length that some of the Cabhair swimmers are prepared to take to do their bit on that morning - the frost and freezing fog are clearly visible , yet that man was quite determined that he was going to 'earn' his sponsorship money regardless of those , and any other, obstacles.
The nature of that particular event practically guarantees that 'flesh will be flashed' , but it's not done maliciously or on purpose.
Thanks!
Sharon.
...ever heard of Weils Disease? Very prevalent in canals and rivers, spread by rats and very deadly.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosis
Hi Tim !
Thanks for the good wishes - much appreciated . And we remember our Fenians everywhere !
Hi Ken !
Yes , the organisers are aware of that disease and how it infects , and do their best to stop it materialising . In the 33 years that this event has been held , we have not had one infection but our defences are never down when it comes to that issue.
Thanks!
Sharon.
