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.

Ah yes don’t those lovely brave boys look welcoming on the train in balaclavas. I’d defo want to buy them a round of lunchtime shots as well.

Well we know what the far right’s greatest terror is don’t we? Imagining they might see someone not white on their street. But you cannot reach the far right with err things that aren’t conspiracies started by foreign actors do sow discontent in the country. Believed by people (if they aren’t bots) who call themselves patriots. The irony

Ok..

There. That didn't hurt a bit, did it?

I'm not the one asserting a proposition.

The lazy-arsed ones asserting their POV need to do this.

Just open X and use your eyes. Stop being lazy.

How is the government “shutting down news” when several national newspapers are reporting on the events in both Dover and Portsmouth and Dover was the top story on the BBC website all day yesterday?

Well you are too lazy to look yourself so I guess I had to spoon feed information to you like a toddler.

Because they are real videos, uploaded fornyou to see? Do you not have eyes and ears? You only believe something if its reported to you by the BBC? Have you no critical thinking skills or ability to do independent research?

If you do your independent research on a social media platform I fucking pity you.

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?

The demonstrators yesterday looked and behaved in an extremely disciplined and orderly fashion so no, I wouldn’t be thinking they’re a load of wife-beaters.

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?

You couldn't be be bothered to look or don't have the skills to do so, So I helped you. It would be polite to thank me, really.

Would you like me to teach you how to open a search tab?

How have the entire police force been brainwashed into this “two tier” thing you keep mentioning?

The country is already flooded with illegals, rapes are up by thousands and yes it's illegals who are doing the raping of men, women and children

Any figures you can cite for the last assertion?

Thought not.

I had a feeling that Burnham's honeymoon was going to be very short. Oh dear, be careful what you wish for Andy, bet Starmer is relieved not to have to deal with this shitshow.

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.

You need to add in a few more countries …

That wall of waffle didn’t answer my question, did it?

What is your definition of:
An asylum seeker.
An illegal migrant.

These aren’t difficult questions.

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

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.

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.

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?
