Small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight - huge police motorcade

PassMeTheInternet · Yesterday 22:49

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.

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

How do you send people anywhere without some sort of processing? Seriously, how do you think that would work?

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.

Lot more to it. Lebensraum (space for Germans), eradication of the Untermenschen (subhumans - basically anyone not German/Aryan). 1000yr Reich etc. Basically anyone not aligned with National Socialism was on the list

What TF are you on about? Have you got any proof of boat loads of non-Ukrainians fighting against Russia?...They would be very easy to spot, being non-white and not speaking any language (how would they communicate with anyone, not may Ukrainians are even speaking English?)

This is pure Russian propaganda - they are embarrassed they are getting their arse whipped by "poor little Ukraine" and are inventing all kind of bollocks to justify it.

I agree with you about the RNLI needing money. What I really want to know is why is the RNLI run on donations / volunteers? It should be a gvt service, like the NHS. Same for the Air Ambulance service

A senior RNLI volunteer told me that if they were a government service, they'd have to abide by all sorts of safety at work and other emplolyment legislation that would significantly hinder what they can do.

He also told me that one of the East Sussex lifeboats rescues more walkers than sailors some years. Apparently, people set off to walk the Seven Sisters, get knackered and decide it will be less exhausting to walk along the beaches than over the cliffs, but don't have any clue about tide times and find themselves getting cut off when the tide comes in.

You need to step away from your phone screen before you absorb too much more of this shite.

As an aside I read of a campaign to cut the wires of traffic lights scanners which are apparently some kind of weapon. These scanners monitor traffic usage both vehicle and pedestrian but somehow it's a Govt control system.

‘Just cut the wires’: why UK conspiracy theorists are destroying traffic scanners

Sensors that monitor vehicle volume are said to be ‘electronic assault weapons’ by the ‘Blade Runners’ group

We should stop them coming over.
We do not need to accept the French bringing them to the RNLI to collect and ferry to the UK.

We have ro pay for these foreign men. They leave dead women in their boats, burned and raped and murdered. Children too. But are they punished?
The Government knows bad agents use this method ro get in to the UK.

This is a clear and present danger. A country with no borders is not a country.

Omg is this actually what people think? I despair.

LakieLady · Today 08:11

Tiredtyre · Today 06:54

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.

I've no idea.

Possibly difficulties with establishing if offences occurred within UK territorial waters though.

What’s happening - British people being shipped to Ukraine to fight the Russians?

AgnesX · Today 08:13

Ha-ha. Well done for pulling a flanker BF!

The behaviour of some of these people after they found out just goes to show that peaceful protest is the last thing they have in mind.

Remmy123 · Today 08:14

Sick of these boats and anyone that supports them.

it's a joke and yeah good on the protesters so what if they were in balaclavas - maybe they don't want to be on the news / newspapers etc but they are still allowed to make their point and defend their country - good on them!!

we have homeless British men / British people who are struggling at the cost of living , young people struggling to get even a Saturday job - we need to look after our own and that includes legal immigrants - not the men that have flocked in from countries such as morocco (are they at war))

raping women - raping men with no respect for our country but want free handouts

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.

Completely agree

Once they are in asylum accommodation they are free to come and go as they please. There is one not far from me where they have free transport to local towns multiple times a day.

I know someone who lives in Crowborough, and they were complaining about this. I pointed out that they would probably complain if they were hanging around in Crowborough all day too, and that maybe it's a way of dispersing the impact across the wider area.

They should maybe bus them a bit further afield though. Lewes has a very active refugee and asylum seeker support group, they'd probably get a warmer welcome there.

bozzabollix · Today 08:17

This discussion and the various posts make me ashamed of Mumsnet, so much misinformation and fearmongering.

No I think the Home Counties are perfect. And the Cotswolds. Knightsbridge and South Kensington. Cheshire. Cambridgeshire, Oxford etc. All ideal.

It’s from a whistleblower at the home office.

It’s from a whistleblower at the home office.

The claim of 1% genuine asylum seekers was made anonymously in the Times. There was no evidence in the article they actually work or worked at the Home Office.

CoventryCity · Today 08:22

I don’t support aggression or violence in any way. But protests are ok aren’t they? Peaceful protests I mean. Perhaps they need to change tack. They should all wear a burqa too, that’s allowed. Especially if they identify as Muslim, which a lot of protestors do.

They persecuted gay people, gipsies, trade unionists and people from other countries (mainly the Slavic states), too. They also had it in for people with genetic disabilities.

They were kind of "equal opportunities" oppressors, in a way.

Catsandcheese · Today 08:10

Omg is this actually what people think? I despair.

Yep, they do, too much absolute bollocks on social media that they unquestioningly believe.

I’ve met people who have saved these people from the ocean. There are women and children, they haven’t been attacked or raped on board, the children are handed over to be rescued first. The people I spoke to said the stories they had literally brought them to tears. These are tough men used to danger traumatised by what they’ve seen out there.

But hey, let’s dehumanise and carry on ‘othering’ people because of their circumstances.

It’s very obvious just how easy it must have been for Hitler to implement the Final Solution. Many of you would be offering to herd these people off boats into the chambers yourselves. After all you’re quite happy to see them drown. Fucking disgusting.

Have you got a verifiable source though? For example, a recognised and respected media source that has shared this info?

Of course peaceful protests are ok. But if those peaceful protests disrupt police activity, stuff like this is the obvious consequence.
I imagine any female Muslim protesters who want to wear the burqa, will be well aware that they can wear the burqa.

CoventryCity · Today 08:30

I actually cannot believe that people are equating concerns with the mass immigration of undocumented unknown young men, to what hitler did. Torturing starving experimenting on 6million Jewish people to death, for being Jewish.

Beyond belief but shows us just who they are.

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.

No. Potentially millions would apply. We wouldn’t be able to cope. Why not just do that instead of studying and working hard and paying thousands in visa fees to migrate to the West?
Makes a little more sense to have schemes in Europe where people could apply if they had a particular case for being in say UK or Sweden and don’t want to make an illegal border crossing. But again who would staff these centres?
Migration is massive business for organised criminals. The market is endless and the profits are huge. They don’t have to consider the rights and safety of their customers.
There is a slight disadvantage in leaving the EU when it comes to data sharing but we do have mutually beneficial agreements to share data which is an important part of the fight against this crime.
So much misinformation on this thread. We are doing better in the small boats deterrence but it will never end while the prizes are so great. How much would you pay to be in the UK rather than Somalia? Ethiopia? I saw some stat that said around half of all young Pakistani men want to migrate. They’re not going to be able to do that legally!

Gtfto2024 · Today 08:32

DreamieWhat · Today 02:50

And 40% of those migrants might have domestic violence or rape charges (and considering the rate of sexual offences is much higher in those countries it will probably be higher) but they throw their ID in the sea so I guess we just have to risk it, eh?

I don't know why you lot think that stat is a gotcha moment. Its just proves that all men are dangerous and importing thousands of extra ones from cultures that BUY women, force women to cover their faces to prevent sexual urges in men and marry children probably isn't going to make the UK safer for us girlies now, is it?

Interesting that you are happy to follow and cheer on men with a violent history, yet are seemingly terrified of other people because they might perhaps potentially be violent.
