Who and why?
Anyone know?

[tangerine_sedge]

Nothing says 'concerned citizen' more than black balaclavas and hoods....

How bizarre, no idea but I'd be bloody annoyed if I was due out on a ferry and couldn't access the terminal.

[MikeM6]

Is this a protest, or a show of force?

[butchstewie]

Is it the patriots?

[Good Plan Ted]

It is

[Bill]

Huh?? Anti immigration protestors are stopping people leaving?

[Stu R]

Either a new Spuds Direct tactical urban niqab dropped or some lampposts are about to get flags.

Maybe it's an anti-emigration group and there has been some sort of terrible mix-up on the patriot Whatsapp group?

Really, what is going on in this country. Yes we have issues, as does everywhere. I don't see what causing countless millions in economic damage to the UK by blocking one of the busiest ports in the country is going to achieve. From numbers reported in the last few days it looked like the immigration numbers have all be moving in the right direction. No doubt this lot will be fans of 'easy answers Farage'.

And you just know that dressed all in black with balaclava's they are going to be fully in favour of law and order and will have nothing at all to hide about who they are. All fine upstanding members of the community and concerned citizens, every one of them I'm sure.

It’s a bit concerning this lot feel confident enough to dress like some sort of militia in their ‘protest’; blatant intimidation, isn’t it?

[JoshSm]

Surprising lack of policing going on there. Do they think it will all kick off so they're just leaving it well alone?

Surely for such a large event (that doesn't seem to have been known about in advance) the police force needs time to set up an appropriate response?

[Countdown]

Are the illegal immigrants coming across on ferries?

[Pupp]

Appropriate response is to go play the truncheon xylophone overture on some thick skulls

[mac96]

Trying to avoid taking responsibility for their actions by disguising their identities, dressing to intimidate. I bet quite a few have criminal records as long as your arm.

Perhaps we should have a more French style riot police force. And that is not something I easily support but this seems to just be the latest example of a group of thugs who cannot be dealt with by our existing approach.

It’s the usual right wing idiots. Thick as mince.
