Masked men at Dover - KKK vibes

They are utter cowards and hypocritical. The same ilk will state they're against the burkha and protests by environmental groups etc. but are happy to mask their faces in 'protest' the reality is they're just nasty specimens of humanity, full of people with self righteous white supremacy tendencies. AIBU.

This thread is fabulous for the ‘England roars’ and ‘being locked in a room full of men in Bally’s comments alone.

Says it all really.

new ick unlocked big time - silently protesting 🤣

Do you say that about vigils?

Please explain the parallels between protests in Dover and KKK

my understanding is that KKK stood for white supremacy - clearly abhorrent

my understanding is that the Dover protesters are anti- small boat illegally landing with economic migrants

in order to support the parallels theory we would have to say that people who are anti - the channel small boats are white supremacists

my experience is that people who are anti small boats feel that way because they believe that small boats contribute to higher welfare costs / tax rises / crime rates etc -
regardless of being black / brown / white Eastern European etc ….

due people truly think that being anti small boats / illegal entry / loss of border control is paramount to white supremacy ?

Yes because it’s about tiny numbers of people fleeing problems we the UK and others have started in their home countries. The people making these protests when interviewed make white supremacist statements and can’t explain why Ukrainian refugees are different

David Amess anyone? Ann Widdecombe anyone? Jews targeted anyone?
Manchester arena? Shall we all just list deaths and atrocities or agree that anyone can be a target nowadays and what we do not want is hundreds of undocumented potentially dangerous men entering the country illegally every day to increase that risk.

Any view on those op and @Anyahyacinth?

😂😂😂 I’m hoping bots coz this can’t be real life!

I'm hoping so too because I can't believe someone really thought Antifa were literally anti fascists.

There will be a shift in the EU. It might not be the U.K. first but I can see a falling away from the system we have when the status quo loses its grip.

I sense you’re hoping for a break up of the EU, or at least a shrinking. I don’t see that happened. Hungary decisively rejected Orban and Poland will go through the same process. It’s also a bit curious to me to see a woman (presumably) welcoming the rise of the right in those countries when it has brought with it restrictions on women’s rights.

I think we’ll see Europe try to move more collectively on immigration and finding third country solutions, potentially investing in Africa. But if people think there will be a shift towards simply blocking access or mass deportation they’ll be disappointed.

They're either of that mindset themselves, or refuse to see as you say it's too uncomfortable to think about and they'd rather stick their fingers in their ears instead.

Which racist coward?

It would take you less than a minute to find that information if you're truly interested, but here you have it 'During the 1920s, Klan local chapters ("klaverns") frequently organized silent parades through towns, often under the cover of night or dusk. Hundreds or thousands of robed, masked Klansmen would march through streets without making a sound or chanting slogans. The total silence was meant to project an omnipresent, eerie authority and convey a menacing message: We are watching you, we are everywhere, and we can act at any moment.'

I've obviously heard of the KKK, but I didn't know about the silent marches.
This makes the Dover stuff even more sinister.

Personally I’d feel a lot safer locked in a room with a bunch of anonymous balaclava-clad right wingers than a bunch of fresh off the boat migrants that we know nothing about 🤷🏻‍♀️

This doesn't even make sense.
You know absolutely fuck all about "anonymous balaclava clad right wingers" either but you'd feel safe locked in a room with them?!
When their usual schtick is to intimidate or riot in these circumstances, I wouldn't want to be locked up with them.
Even if I'm probably the "right kind" of woman they pretend to care about and protect underneath their masks.
(White, straight, English British etc)
Whereas immigrants will have a wide range of opinions, and personalities - which would feel more safer than a load of right wing "protesters."

Suggest you carry out historical research, the parallels are very chilling. There's none so blind as those who won't see.

Where have you been hiding from all the news over the last few years?

Masked-up Muslims, Antifa and Tranactivists have been intimidating people - mainly women - for a decade. Get a grip.

Oh please you weren't likening the Dover protests to the KKK's 'silent parades' You were implying we are on a slippery slope to murder and burning homes. Own it.

Glad you're a mind reader 😂. Do you do clairvoyance sessions on the side?

That’s because they are referencing an aesthetic ..a monstrous one and yes I agree about Genocide protest marches being unmasked and family friendly, pre planned and approved to prevent inconvenience.

This will go the way of the US and lots of these folk will be harmed by the cruelty they are demanding. They are inadequate folk who can’t rise above disadvantaged migrants …but want to feel supremacy. Grim

Got to be a joke post.

Bollocks! I havent seen pro palestine demonstrators with balaclavas on. When the police are busy arresting 70 year old women who are sat on the pavement holding a piece of cardboard those women are definitely not hiding their faces - probably because they aren't cowards.

Those thugs in Dover dont dare show their faces - how very brave of them 🙄🙄
