Portsmouth this evening

[Shmoigel]

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.

Are the videos I’ve seem on Twitter of Portsmouth tonight not real then?

Put up a link and we'll see.

Ops wrong quote! I meant the warm welcome in Pompy. Suggest they try Leigh Park to settle

Is this on the news? Where can we see it?

I had twitter. The Elon took over - it quickly became a cesspit. Lie after lie, racism rife. None of it corrected. Fake ID's, fake posts too, claiming to be true.
It was once a great site, it's now vile.

Don't get me wrong, the other one that popped up, bluesky? Just as bad but far left instead.

Anyone who takes social media as a legit source of news without checking facts is a numpty.

I wonder how many men gathering to stop the boats have ever committed a crime. Didn’t many of the rioters earlier in the year have convictions for DV etc. Would posters on here still be cheering them on if they have committed DV, assault previously?

As someone else stated upthread the number should be zero.

We don't want illegal migrants here

And often its not 'news stories' narrated with a spin or 'take'

Its justvthe raw videos, for you to make up your own mind about.

The numbers from
June 2024- June 2025 around 43300
June 2025 - June 2026 around 33000

this is around …. and people who are claiming asylum who arrived on small boats

This is not accounting for people who have just going missing and then the other issues is people who have long over stayed visas European governments have to work together it’s not safe for it to be left to people to deal with but this is now what is happening

Africa is made up of 59 countries/territories - what’s your point? Eritrea where the majority of “boat people” are from is half the size of the UK.

Is that you, Elon? 🙄

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

Yes, because they are their own criminals, innit. And they don't have darker skin. Sigh.

You could literally type it here ..

It’s still too many

I went to twitter to get the truth and saw the self-proclaimed patriot leader going up to the police, introducing himself and promptly puking everywhere.

I'm not entirely sure I wanted to see that.

The far leftist Daily Mail and far leftist GB News would like a word with you.

It’s on the BBC

www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyegwl9vzqo

So… evidence for the hundreds of thousands each year please

given that small boat people numbers are down c40% and this is the main route I’d love you to back up your claim

suspect you get legal and illegal immigration mixed up

They aren't brave at all.

Though Elon Musk, not so much. He's too busy calling people "paedos" for criticising his mini-submarine ideas.

I wouldn’t call an Elon Musk owned platform heaving with Russian bots the best way to get actual information about what’s going on in the world.

The feed relies heavily on algorithms that boost content driving outrage, controversy and high engagement. Sensationalised claims and out of context clips spread extremely faster than nuanced and fact checked reporting.

Lol.

Actually this is a really strange comment. You do know there are loads of left wing people on Twitter? And centre, and right. And they often argue with each other. It is the opposite of an echo chamber. When I joined I followed a load of accounts across the political spectrum and went from there. I even followed Owen Jones for a while!
