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.

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.

Indeed. Anyone can wear a burqa. Female male or any religion, or not. Totally up to them what they wear really.

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

It was reported in The Times.

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.

We are not blind, there’s hardly any women and children ever on the boats.

No one wants to see anyone drown, the point is they are safe in France so they put themselves at risk needlessly to come to the country of government handouts.

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!

Yes you’re right, I’m glad someone else is aware of this.

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

It worries me that people like that walk among us and vote.

Omg is this actually what people think? I despair.

What is untrue about this?

Tiredtyre · Today 08:39

LakieLady · Today 08:11

I've no idea.

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

Pretty easy. They were killed on a boat with a certain number of men on the boat.

Yes, that’s exactly where the money should go.

You are welcome to pay more tax and house men in your home. Are you doing this?

Gtfto2024 · Today 08:41

This thread is off the wall crazy, are people actually listening to themselves.

So much disinformation and outright outlandish claims, UK residents being forced to fight in Ukraine- really? Fml.

It's also apparent that history is not a strong point.

I’m ashamed right now.

Local to me (I’m south east, near to where all this happens) two RNLI stations have been targeted now. They’re attending shouts with a load of these right wing thugs trying to intervene. I’m fucking furious. And all based on lies.

Tiredtyre · Today 08:42

Parker231 · Today 08:12

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

The Governemnet and all newspapers are trying to get the UK ready for a war.

The adverts are all white people. They want the common man, the " far right, nazi, thicko Tommy Two names" to go and fight.

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.

Hitler’s ideologies had to start somewhere and he whipped up support among the masses by telling them who was responsible for all their problems. There are a lot of parallels here. How many arguments do we hear saying that we need to spend all this money on our own people and these immigrants are something to be afraid of.
You have to learn from history, otherwise you just keep repeating the same mistakes.
I hope the reports that this Tommy bloke has been arrested are true, and the great patriots go back to their miserable lives and think about what it is they are hoping to achieve by their stupid intimidation tactics.
Off to donate to the RNLI in support of the great work they are doing around the whole coastline of the UK.

But that doesn't mean that they were within the jurisdiction of the UK though.

If an offence occurs outside UK territorial waters, UK law doesn't apply.

BIossomtoes · Today 08:45

The RNLI has seen a big spike in donations. It appears there’s still some decency.

Genuinely asking, do you go down to the beaches to watch the boats unload and take note of the demographics on it?

Nothing like a spot of virtue signalling to make your day brighter. Most people don’t care who you donate your money to but it must make you feel so better to tell everyone how good you are.

And if any of these eejits got into difficulties while they were out in the water, the RNLI would rescue them, too.

Is there any evidence of this? A link to a reputable source perhaps?

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.

You have a degree in obfuscation!

Imagine if the police and RNLI were allowed to get on with their jobs of escorting those immigrants to the processing centres without having to put all those extra resources into herding protesters, including children who want to drown them.

Also as soon as the RNLI are called in by the coast guard data is being collated about who is on the boat, sex, age, country of origin etc.

Do you? Did you not see the footage from last night? Those men were safe where they were and because of their determination to enter the UK they put the people at risk who have to enter the water to save them.

100% to paying more tax, donations, volunteer work- what ever is needed. I live in a tiny 2 up 2 down with two other adults so would struggle with an another, but definitely I would give short term shelter to someone with none.
