Does anyone know what's going on in Dover?

Hundreds of masked protesters dressed in black disrupting Dover port.

They bear an unfortunate resemblance to the blackshirts

I have googled, couldn't find anything regarding a statement made by him, he was talking to Zia Yusuf maybe that's what the previous poster was referring to?

He posted a video on his FB page after his conversation with Yusuf (and probably on his Instagram and Twitter accounts). If you search for Danny Thomas Portsmouth on FB you will find it.

It is from two days ago and the post says something like "after my meeting with Zia Yusuf"

(I am assuming this is the statement pp referred to).

Nothing frightening about the video I watched. He was saying that he doesn't align with any political party and that Nigel Farage was wrong to call the working class disgusting unless that's not the right one.

No wonder he is upset with the Daily Mail pointing out that he is not exactly working class...

He called the left "savages and hyenas". And he basically said the masked protests will continue and that they were doing things "differently". I thought what he said about Farage in the video and to Zia Yusuf was a veiled threat.

This man is not a good person. He does not mean well.

I mean, this man has served time for kidnapping. If that's what you want to be an apoligist for...

Oh come on surely you're not upset by those words.

It all seemed very staged to me.

He threatened 2 RNLI members by publishing their names and details online

Nice try but where have I said that I support him.

That is in reply to pointythings.

You haven't, but you're also not seeing this man in the context of who he is. When you say 'oh, it wasn't that bad', knowing what this man is like, that's being an apologist. It's not about actively supporting, it's about minimising the words and actions of someone who is objectively a bad person.

Wasn't that another man who did that?

Yes I agree that he's not a nice person but I'm not going to say that I found his video frightening when I didn't. Like I said, it all seemed very staged.

This man is now demanding the Daily Mail buy his mum a new house after he used her address for his business, and someone found it.

Anyone still think he’s anything more than a grifter?

She said apologist. You do seem to be keen on minimising how dangerous this man is.

You are right, it was Nazi thug Ryan Ferguson, who joined Tommo's call to arms.

Of course it ws staged he was filming himself!

Anyway fine if you want to brush this man and his balacalved followers off as nothing. Others feel differently.

Live streaming the whole event.

An organised event, inspired on the race riots in Belfast. Not a spontaneous protest as Kent Police first stated.

Uniformed black cladded balaclavas wearing men.

There you go - screenshots and you have his name to search on fb too - if you like. If it doesn’t get approved I’ll get the link.

I find it chilling - ibthink some will not of course.

I find it chilling, especially the part about them being the media now.

MN already has posters openly stating they don't believethe government data on immigration.
Misinformation led to the confrontation with a cricket team.

Musk and Putin propoganda.

It will be interesting to know who funds them.

Thank you @MsJinks . That is far worse than I thought.

On another thread a poster has just reported that her husband, who is a RNLI volunteer, has had abuse shouted at him and stones have been thrown at their house.😡

Channel 4 Dispatches right now: Tommy Robinson: Where's the money?

I'm going to catch it on C4 + 1.

It's the result of a year-long investigation into the finances of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson.

Interesting, I’ll look it up. This one is certainly following the same model - engineer a problem (or create one through his own stupidity) and then ask his followers to donate money to solve it. And they do! It’s astonishing.
