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.

That's not what it says. A small sample of 5500 people would use the army to stop small boats. It's a question about methodology that could be employed IF you were to stop them. That's not the same as 59% of the country wanting to stop small boats.

So you’re ok with pro pally /antifa thugs shouting abuse/ covering faces but these people who are protesting to stop the criminal treasonous abuse of our borders is thuggish —- hmmm ok then

you are answering your own question -
they would not have been given permission of any kind,
of course they wouldn’t
asking authoritative permission risks an authoritative No

This. People are generally very concerned about the continuing numbers of unvetted, young men coming from various countries where their cultural “values” are so different to ours.

these people are unskilled, uneducated and are very likely to be net takers from a UK that is already massively struggling financially. Servicing the UK debt is costing more than defence I believe! We simply cannot afford to accommodate all these people and there is the added danger from these men who have no understanding of consent it seems.

I’ve been saying for ages that I fear we will see increasing civil unrest and more right wing extremism. I really feel for the hard working migrant families that have made a life here who may now be targeted because of the problems caused by the small boat influx.

But of course, voicing these concerns makes me racist and no government seems willing or able to really tackle the influx.

To take this good faith - why then did they not give the police advance notice so that the police could adequately allocate resources to support their protest? That’s what peaceful protestors do.

At the very best, these men were ignorant about our laws - which are there to protect the British public.

If you’ve been anywhere near Dover, you would understand that the police /
council would never authorise a protest in that area-
the impact that holds up to flow of traffic in/ out of that area are renowned -
the ferries / HGV’s etc etc

i would expect they would have been some side streets to protest in, well away from
any areas that would attract attention such a outside the port of Dover as they did

you can notify the authorities of a planned protest, but you cannot have any location by default -

im guessing but I would assume that they’ve gone for what would have brought most disruption / attention - cause disruption at the port
a bit like farmers driving tractors on the motorway to London
or the oil protesters lying on the roads blocking traffic / ambulances etc ..

I used to be liberal and still have the same core beliefs and values. Apparently I am far right now.

People do this at the Pro-Pal marches too. They use face masks or keffiyehs. It's very apparent at the campus protests too.

I think they're far worse to be honest. Calling for the destruction of an entire country of 10 million Jews and Arabs.

Can you really be surprised at people are angry OP? Given that we effectively have no border and our government does nothing. Surely you read the news. Every week it's horrifying after horrifying story in the papers. An OAP gets sodomized by an Eritrean migrant in a church yard in broad daylight? What did you think was going to happen. As the old adage goes, of reasonable people won't manage the border, unreasonable people will.

Prepare for civil war, basically..

Was there public disorder or not?

Having an opinion on world affairs is absolutely legitimate-
but saying people who are protesting for an issue in their community are thick is a stretch too far, when the issue does not impact you -

So nobody can have an opinion on whats happening in another country?
I don't live in America but I have plenty of thoughts of what happens over there with Trump, ICE, the gun laws and so on...

I saw a stupid reporter on Sky news today referring to the men as "peaceful" because they were carrying bottles of water on a hot day! Despite the fact they're dressed as paramilitary in order to intimidate. How can people be so dumb?!!
