Has anyone else seen the news about what’s happening in Portsmouth this evening
A boat has arrived in Hampshire and the protesters from Dover are currently in the sea blocking passage with hundreds more on the quay blocking coaches waiting.

Oh the horror 😱😱😱😱😱

If you lived here you would feel that way. The streets are filthy. Rubbish is dumped on the streets constantly. The mosque holds prayers and people park everywhere. The men stand out side spitting everywhere.
Young muslim men sit in their cars blasting music and inhaling laughing gas. They speed up and down the road.

The is no integration with the white and black british community here. We do not feel welcome in the local park.

There are no white children in that photo because everything they do is just for their own community.

I have been told myself that I shouldnt be walking my dog in there! (Never off lead)

It doesn't feel like Manchester and I have lived here 50 years!!

The algorithm to push right wing has been admitted by twitter.
And they also stopped fact checking, people who used to fight misinformation were sacked. It allows lies to spread and lies spread fast. Hate speech and lies since Elon have increased massively and this has create real harm.

Of course you can follow whoever you want but it doesn't stop the fact that it's a right wing echo chamber. It hasn't been neutral since Elon.

I find the Community Notes are pretty good for pointing out and correcting untruthful posts (on big accounts or highly viewed posts inly). It seems a good system to me.

I am using text to speak because of disability. I said 'initiative' but probably worded it badly.

Don’t you worry love. Once all the “illegals” and non-whites have been removed from the country, they’ll be coming for the disabled. 🫡

Be careful what you vote wish for.

I’m all for helping genuine asylum seekers. However, boat after boat arriving is overloading our support services. Our NHS is already struggling, our schools are crumbling, people are struggling to eat. We should be looking after each other first and foremost. Our country simply can’t afford to keep taking people in.

I’ve struggled to understand why the Navy can’t be used to stop the boats.

I understand why people are so angry.

I’m old and not very well. I can’t get a GP appointment for a month. I’m dreading the bad weather coming, with fuel prices going through the roof.

I live in an area that is a muslim majority, Labour won by a landslide. A muslim candidate. I had female muslims knocking on my door, handing me leaflets, and they couldn't even speak English when I questioned them.

Here is my local councillor and her new initiate for kids in the area.

Notice anything??

Not really. The usual kind of line-up, but nice to see more women than usual in such photos.
What did you have in mind? Is it one of those spot the difference puzzles?

It’s all got very poundshop Oswald Moseley vibes. 🤣

Yeah, one of those kids is wearing an Arsenal shirt! Absolutely asking for trouble.

Ok so nothing to do with Mumsnet then? That’s where I find like minded gender critical women

I didn’t say anything about AI videos. What proof is there that these aren’t just wives and friends of the men clad in black? They look like about 15 women who could be anyone. Why are they clad in black by the way? I know if I was in Portsmouth I’d wouldn’t be worried by anyone arriving in boats. I’d be worried by the men clad in black turning up in their masses wearing balaclavas.

Did you know critical thinking involves looking at all sides of a debate? Not just going along with one that follows your agenda.

It's trending on Google in MSM Inc Guardian. What's to doubt? Have a Google. Dispersal order until tomorrow night under threat of arrest for ignoring.

You said earlier that the government is deliberately importing Labour voters. Is that your idea of critical thinking skills?

That's exactly what's happening in various places albeit not to vote Labour, but to be grateful for the governing party that brought them in whatever it might be. The SNP's doing it in Scotland so it can raise Nationalist voters, and the seperatist Catalan Government in Spain's doing the same.

No I read widely from many sources. Although not Twitter/X because they are not reliable. How do you ascertain that they are real videos for a start? Because you want to believe? And what are your critical thinking skills? “My life is not what I want it to be? It must be someone else’s fault?” Do you even know what critical thinking is?

Tell you what, I don't have twitter so why don't you post a little precis on here and then we can see whether MNHQ deletes it?

Just get an account if you want a round up.

Honestly, get yourself an account. It’s the best way to get actual information about what’s going in the world without the distorting filter of the media.

Social media is an echo chamber. You'll only get more of what you click on. There is no way to trust that what you're reading is the truth.

ShakeMeUpJudie · Today 00:50

mynipsWILLpointnorth · Today 00:18

That honestly has nothing to do with my post. China, russia, Canada, USA are also huge.

We’re not getting people arriving on boats from those countries though. Have a look at the population of Africa and the projected population growth.

Government treading over British population?! What does that even mean?

Oh, here we go... You know exactly what I mean. Villages, towns, and cities having migrants shoehorned in everywhere. You ought to see the state of some places. Glasgow's in an awful state due to far too many being sent there.
