Small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight - huge police motorcade

This is the police escort for the latest small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight.

What on earth is going on with this country?

I don’t know how to link a video from Twitter. The videos show the full extent of the operation.

Definitely. And it's bullshit. Conspiracy theory.

Look at X and GB News. The Gosport police motorcades were a decoy. The French escorted the dinghies to UK waters where they are picked up by RNLI taxis with transmitters off, everyone was told Gosport, then the people were landed in Bournemouth, transmitters back on the RNLI boats. My primary concern is why is everyone pretending, there's clearly a deal with the French to bring them here. It would savec£££ in motorcade water money.

There's an offence of "endangering life at sea" that is a more likely charge imo.

Sadly, it only carries a max sentence of 5 years.

What about the murdered and raped women and children found on the boats ?
The men responsible are not apprehended and no investigation occurs, they just get put into the hotels as normal, then left to stalk our people.

So what do you think people should do then?

Lock violent criminals like him up. Stand up to the far right. They aren't actually offering solutions just spreading hate. Acknowledge that small boat arrivals have hugely dropped over the last year.

is this true? This is insanity - why do they get this level or protection? I don’t agree with the balaclava meat heads that hand about the coast line waiting for them, but motorcades when the policing in this country is a joke. Are they offering the people of Piddington the same level of police support?

The police aren’t there to ‘protect’ the migrants. They’re their to stop criminal and violent behaviour by the ‘protesters’

Unfortunately, the ones causing the havoc, disruption and who are monopolising the police and preventing the RNLI from supporting British people in need are the protesters.

I didn't know those were the signs of a Nazi. I thought it was about things like considering Jews racially inferior and wanting women in purely domestic roles. Silly me.

It’s not a good system. Just reading they spent 30 hours at sea. 30 hours.

Labour’s policies are just doing this - more risk from further away.

I'm talking about the small boat arrivals.

If you actually believe what the Government tell you about the numbers being down then I have a bridge to sell you 😂

And stop using inflammatory words like 'far-right' you have no idea what it even means.
People being worried for their futures and their children's futures, who are seeing absolutely nothing but red carpet treatment from the Government have every right to do what they can to protect themselves and others.

The Government isn't doing it are they?

It's fucking disgusting isn't it? The use of the word Nazi and all this far right name calling, absolutely nullifies the impact of the words.

And people are such sheep just looking to use whatever buzz word they are given next by social media.

What we know is that only 1% are genuine asylum seekers. And yet significantly more are granted asylum. I assume to get the numbers of asylum seekers down, the number of approvals will just go up so people can be free to enter society. We can't exactly trust the government figures any more.

Have you got a source for the "1% genuine" claim?

Home office figures for asylum approvals show that the success rate of asylum applications is now below 40%. This is the lowest it has been since 2018.

If only "1%" of claims are genuine, why are so many applications being approved? (Edited to add source)

Maybe if our upstanding citizens could behave like humans rather than animals the police wouldn’t need to be there. But when we are required to close lifeboat stations because of horrendous thugs the police are going to need to do all sorts of protection work that should be completely unnecessary.

People who have crossed in small boats should be detained and processed properly. Such a shame that police protection is required in order for immigration officials to carry out their duties.

This really. Very few boat crossings this year.

It’s from a whistleblower at the home office.

BigBrownBoogyingBear · Today 07:17

I assume the massive police response was to protect the asylum seekers from the angry protesters @PassMeTheInternet? If the protests were peaceful then there would be no police response necessary - or at least a much smaller one. Meaning the police could be doing other things.

I live miles away from where small boats land so feel relatively unaffected by it. But I can see how it would be troubling for residents of nearby towns and villages to have their communities changing so quickly.

Just out of interest- how do posters think the Government should stop the boats, when the boats are the end product of a massive organised crime operation spanning continents? Do you actually mean stop the boats from landing, so the people have to turn around and sail back to France? Slash the boats so they sink? The government are dealing with organised crime, but you won't see what they're doing because it's not happening on a beach being filmed for YouTube.

A whistleblower from the Home Office. Singular. No others yet to back them up.

In a made up interview… with no evidence to back it up, which suddenly becomes “fact”. With actual independent verify facts ignored (number are down).

I stay in a tiny coastal town in Scotland, and I've never known the like of this. Influx of young men walking around aimlessly in joggers and sliders. Homeless housing applications are sky rocketing across Scotland, BBC reported today that 50% of those applicants are asylum seekers. Its just incredible.

Asylum seekers don't have rights under homelessness rules, so the local council would not accept homeless applications from them.

They only get such rights if and when they are granted refugee status, and then they are subject to the same rules as any UK citizen.

You haven’t really read enough history if you think the Nazis only targeted Jews and had sexist visions of women.

How about the RNLI and Border Police get on with doing their job and escort these refugees to safety and a procesasing centre

Why should they be processed at all? Send them away.

As someone whose family was murdered by Nazis your use of it here is disgusting.

I couldn’t agree more. The old Reducto ad Hitlerum, playing the nazi card. Offensive in all of the ways, as well as being historically illiterate. No surprises though.

tamade · Today 07:56

Would it be possible to change the law so that the only places where asylum visas could be applied for and granted are British embassies and consulates?Anyone entering the country illegally to claim asylum would be rejected automatically.
