Liam Tomsett, a father-of-two from Crowborough, East Sussex, has become a prominent figure in Britain's anti-migrant protest movement after asylum seekers were housed at a former military training camp near his home. He founded the group "Crowborough Says No" to oppose the accommodation of up to 540 men at the site, and his activities are the subject of a new Channel 4 documentary, "England 'Til I Die", airing tonight, which followed him for nine months.

The protests, sparked after plans were confirmed by the Government in January, turned violent, resulting in Tomsett's arrest on charges of common assault and possession of an offensive weapon, later dropped. He was arrested a second time after confronting a business owner training asylum seekers, but faced no further action. Tomsett has spoken of the personal toll of his activism, including strain on his family relationships, while his partner and he have expressed views about immigration affecting the White British population. The report comes amid heightened tension nationally, with the Home Secretary warning that protesters are seeking to intimidate communities, and recent unrest at the Port of Dover and in Portsmouth.
