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.

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.

Well arent you virtuous!!
Please let us know how it goes wont you 🤣

So, how many boats of people should be welcomed? What if 20 boats arrive a day? A ferry is commandeered?

We cannot accommodate or finance hundreds of thousands of men - most of whom are not only low-skilled, but have poor English. Not to mention that we have absolutely no idea if they are criminals.

Another point is that are we expecting these men to live like monks? There are insufficient women here who might fancy any of them, to be blunt. The next problem I foresee is trafficked women (or girls) for prostitution.

Surely you’re not sending links as you don’t have reputable ones?

Threads like this make me so sad. These are human beings and people treat them like rats. The picture of the boat being slashed yesterday was depressing.

The problem with the left, and the reason Labour won’t be re elected in our life times, is that they don’t listen.

Is that they equate (or at least pretend to equate) rabid people like the rnli boat slasher, to normal people with genuine concerns.

It is a shame and none of it will come to any good. Thoroughly depressing. Self righteous fools that they are.

@SevenYellowHammers it’s ALWAYS “Well I would love to help, but…..” ALWAYS. How terribly convenient you live in a small house.

Do your own research

Which means you don't. If you did surely yiu would want to share something so important.

Telecone · Today 09:43

Because it saves time and money keeping the (yes, probably some dodgy) immigrants alive and contained, rather than have them lynched by our violent men. The men are the problem here, on all sides.

A motorcade is cheaper than forensics and a murder investigation. The police are trying to stop all hell breaking loose.

Ricky Gervais did that. He went down to the coast, attended to the first ‘asylum seeker’ boat coming in. What a lovely man helping out. He said women and children first. Then waited. And waited. And..

That was a joke? Not like you to be spreading misinformation.

Concerns are fine and understandable. In which case, surely you welcome the police cars that are ensuring the asylum seekers are taken to appropriate places to be processed in a timely manner?
Boat crossings are decreasing - thankfully as reading of drownings is horrific - and we should be mindful of that.

Fucking hell there is some utterly morally bankrupt posters on here!!! it makes me sick how hostile and toxic this country is becoming.
The police wouldn’t have to turn out in such numbers if it wasn’t for the thugs in black out for a fight. Primarily British men who want to blame their own failings on others and are given the scapegoat of asylum seekers to blame.
Nobody gets on those boats who isn’t desperate. You want to stop the boats. Open an asylum reception in Calais so those who are genuine can legitimately claim asylum and be brought here safely. Speed up asylum cases so that they take weeks instead of years. Apprehend incoming boats and bring them safely to the nearest shore line to be processed and deported back to where they came from. You cannot just turn the boats around and leave vulnerable people to the mercy of the sea. They need to be brought to shore safely and then sent safely back.

Oh and the majority of small boats are apprehended by the border force not the RNLI. Less than 2% of the RNLI’s call outs each year are to small boat crossings. So stop the hate of the RNLI - you don’t know when you might need them.

In my view the morally bankrupt posters are those pretending that allowing thousands of undocumented young men from cultures with completely different values to our own into our country is not going to do harm to women and girls.

That pp obviously hasn’t travelled much. You could fit another 20 people into her 2 up 2 down, at least. Cody living. Shes not trying hard enough to help.

I live/work in a quiet Gloucestershire town and immigration has had a massive impact locally on healthcare/education/housing. We don't want these people here. They don't benefit society in any way, they don't integrate and they refuse to follow local customs. Why come here and try to make it the same as "back home"? I don't understand it. I don't want to walk down the high street and feel that I'm on another continent, I want it to feel familiar.

When I go abroad, I want to taste local food, learn the language, immerse myself in the culture. That's the entire point surely of leaving home?!

They are economic migrants, illegal economic migrants. Stop pretending otherwise.

I posted the live feed from local reporters above. I am going by that.

Good night.

Yes, maybe you did, but the trouble with "I'm posting a live feed from Twitter from Mr Joe Blogs live with his smartphone/camcorder/whatever is that it gives absolutely no context whatsoever.
Yet people still froth and go off on one even if it could be protection for workers due to the protestors there.
I swear, critical thinking and checking sources is a thing of the past now, people don't seem to check for themselves anymore. Just go off what they're told it is which is quite worrying really.
Edit to ask - who is doing the reporting?

They’re pretty dim economic migrants then. It costs them thousands to get here then they’re given less than £50 a week.

Valeryvictorious · Today 09:52

I started off feeling compassion for these so called desperate people but my patience with them has all but disappeared.

As a country we simply can’t afford to keep taking people in. We have more than enough needs already, that aren’t being met.

The NHS has never been so stretched. Just getting a GP appointment is a joke. I rang this morning and was 35th in the queue. The online request was closed. I remember how easy it was to see your GP. You went there during surgery hours and you were seen.

When my DH was ill I was told to call an ambulance. Ambulance control told me the wait was currently 12 hours. I took him in the car, which was fine but then you get to A &E and it’s standing room only and a wait of eight hours. My DH felt really unwell by now and I started to panic. Anyway, he died a week later.

Our schools are crumbling, we don’t pay teachers enough to stay in the profession.

Those in the know tell us we aren’t safe from the likes of Russia.

Why are there ample services available to these illegals? Why aren’t we looking after people who already live here? WTAF is going on?

The problem is where they live they probably have a rubbish job. If any job. No money. No home. No healthcare. No dentist. No access to women wearing western clothes.

They come here and get all of that for free, without doing anything.

So the question is more why wouldn’t they come here?

And there are millions more who can and will try to benefit from our generosity.

It’s up to the gvts to stop it at source. But it seems they don’t want to.

It's okay. I already know that nuclear weapons aren't transported by road, but by train in the dead of night. I watched it on "Edge of Darkness" on TV as a child and it's an indelible memory for me. Therefore it's definitely true...

Anyone can Google anything they want, and get the results they want, and decide their own facts, nowadays. Such as: 9/11 was a US government plot (as if), and much worse.

But I'm interested in what else you would advise the people on your thread to Google?

And what your answers might be to questions such as:

How do you compare your friend "Tommo" to his (presumable) icon, Tommy Robinson?

Should safe entry into the UK depend on skin-colour, and do you think should the RNLI be provided with a colour chart?

Tommo is not my friend. Neither is Tommy Robinson. Or Farage as previously suggested.

Google is a useful tool if you use it with a healthy level of scepticism to find reliable sources. I’m sure everyone one this thread uses it all the time. But don’t if you don’t want to.

All immigration to this country should be by legal routes whatever someone’s skin colour 🙄

@CoventryCity I saw later on that you knew it was a joke, but you also know that people will take it seriously?

I’m on your side. I’ve backed you up on many of your threads.(clearly I’m not very memorable). and I didn’t use the word untruths I said misinformation.

I was just picking up what I thought was a serious comment and I don’t see why anyone would post misinformation in this situation. Things are bad enough already and you know that.

Lots of people try very very hard to miss the point and pretend it’s all completely normal to have thousands upon thousands of young men arriving on our shores.

It’s not hard to understand why. If my country were subjected to US-orchestrated political turmoil, invasion by European ground troops, resultant chaos of dozens of warring rebel groups fighting to take control once the invaders/ dictator/ democratic government faded away - I think I would consider emigrating!! Well, I’d probably send my young son on ahead, to be honest, and stay to make sure my mum is okay until he could get settled and help provide a base.
Humans are characterised by their willingness to migrate, as much as by their opposable thumbs. We move! My friend is moving abroad simply because of the bad weather - just imagine if climate change started to curtail your ability to farm, or to feed yourself- or to go about your daily life without being interrupted by a charging glacier, as happened in Nepal recently.
There is no conspiracy, just increasing uncertainty twinned with a greater facility to move large distances. This is why us Anglo-Saxons are here, after all, and the world continues to turn.

Of course reading different sources is important, but I think it had some useful info about the shit the patriots were up to and that Tommo thug and the statement from police on arrests etc.

It wasn't a live video feed from Twitter or Joe Bloggs btw but a local newspaper's written report. I would never rely on Twitter for info it is a cesspit of lies.

Did you read any of it?
