Far right groups blockading Dover

[itsnotarace]

Why is this being tolerated? Why aren't the Conservative governments designating these groups as organised crime but rather focus their attention on XR who peacefully delayed a few Rupert Murdoch newspapers for 3 hours?

Sickening and should be widely condemned. Not being reported in widestream media. Why not?

[voyds9]

Quite agree certain flags should be banned.
Demanding people should stick to the law is just plain racist
The 45000 illegal immigrants so far this year isn't enough
We should be sending the coaches to France to stop the dangerous channel trip.

[Drezza]

Why are people not tolerant of "illegal" immigrants... hmmm I wonder.

I think the real question is why aren't the government doing more to stop the issue in the first place?

[Rojibo]

Curious how wanting to protect ones borders from illegal immigration, in the middle of a pandemic, makes one “far right”.

It’s also an utter kick in the teeth to anyone going through the official channels.

Bring back Maggie. She wouldn’t have put up with this st.

How long will this thread last?

[itsnotarace]

I'll tell you why there is no condemnation, it's because they will not risk alienating their new core voters

Maybe you shouldnt populate your mind with inflammatory rabble rousing articles from the guardian and get a wider selection to base your opinion on?

Whats sickening is conflating people protesting about illegal migrants rocking up illegally, then staying illegally then working illegally and being exploited illegally with the "far right".

Oh and theres sod all "peaceful" about attempting to silence an opposition viewpoint by force just cos you dont like it ala xr psycho's.

[The Wookie]

Frankly if this is an advert for anything it’s that if you allow one group of extremist morons enough latitude that they succeed in blockading and disrupting infrastructure then you’re inviting every other collaboration of fkwits to do the same

Perhaps because I don't want to believe Pistonheads readers are neo-Nazi sympathisers like I see in other threads, especially from posters who joined ~11 months ago

We actually have laws and pay significant taxes to have "far right" groups blockade Dover. The fact that a bunch of enthusiastic amateurs with spikey hair have had to take matters into their own hands is just another damning indictment of nationalised industries.

Indeed, if they were doing a decent job of handling this people would feel no need to protest. However the current handling is an omnishambles.

I would hazard a guess that the majority of Brits feel the same way as the protesters, perhaps why it's not getting as much media coverage as you'd like.

[AW111]

So no-one but the OP has a problem with this "blockade"... because it's their side breaking the law and inconveniencing many people.

But XR protests whip NP&E into a frenzy.


That says a lot.

Speaks volumes

I despair for this country, the devaluation of everything we fought for in WW2 is sickening

Perhaps you should go and glue yourself to the pavement or wait on the beaches of Dover to help the illegal immigrants on shore if that's the way you feel about people who disagree with your opinion.

Yeah all those young lives wasted defending a country from invasion.....

[mmm-five]

I think everyone should have the right to peaceful, non-obstructing, non-offensive protest.

Unfortunately everyone is offended by something, and you won't get on the news unless you cause trouble, so it's never going to happen.

I did like there claim they had stopped illegal immigrant. I maybe wrong but I believe none of the boats enter via Dover Harbour unless they have been rescued. Even then the patrol boats can still land immigrants but they might have to stay in the harbour a bit longer.
