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.

With no details given.

The Rwanda plan was going to cost far more than the temporary housing solution. You can't play the cost card and then argue for a more expensive plan.

Countries that use deterrents find numbers are near zero. It’s then possible to use controlled humanitarian visas instead.

We're all nazis now, remember. Apparently. Because the majority of the population don't want illegal immigrants.

Do not mistake your little subculture, underclass group, for 'the majority'. You're just campaigning for the current iteration of the BUF/BNP/NF/BNP. Your 'party' will go the same way as all the others because ultimately, no one likes a fascist.

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.

Tbf Hitler whipped up hatred against his own citizens. The illegal boat men are not our citizens. They are invaders. If Hitler had whipped up the people against invaders into Germany everyone would think he was pretty reasonable, no?

Ha ha! I know what’s happening I just didn’t know his name. Interesting your understanding of understanding. Again, says a lot. Makes sense.

What?! 😂
There's literally articles etc linked in this thread. I didn't know his name either until I read some of them. Maybe you should try

The UK government has a legal responsibility to provide temporary accommodation to asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute while their claims are processed.

The problem is that while that is the theory, in practice it's much more difficult to ascertain whether somebody has a right to claim asylum and, if it's decided that they don't, to return them to their country of origin.

However, it should be possible to recognise all of that (and perhaps support third country solutions and changes to international law) without suggesting that people should be left to drown.

I think it goes beyond party lines or right and left. Unless you are saying Labour voters all support illegal immigration? Which wouldn't be the best PR. Vote Labour for more immigration of this type?

No the "Nazis" and "far right agitators amd the "little subculture" are now anyone who disagrees with letting in illegal immigrants. Which is the majority of us according to polls. Number one concern of the UK along with the economy.

So maybe its you that is the "little subculture:

But I thought women were being murdered on boats? And a baby died earlier this year. I’m confused now.

It not that complicated. The vast majority are young men. A very few are women and children. Have you got that now?

Less than 2% of the work of the brave RNLI volunteers is dealing with small boats.

Shouldn't even be 2% as you can see the damage it is doing to them.

You might want to do some reading and educate yourself. Hitler whipped up hatred for a lot of peoples beyond Germany's borders. Why do you think Polish Jews and Ukrainian slavs and Czech roma were killed ?

Do you really think the far right dont extend their hatred to British people of the "wrong" ethnicity or religion?

But isn’t Labour also saying it’s good the numbers are down? And posters repeating that.

If they do go up again it’ll be tricky.

According to the Oxford Migration Observatory,. 72% of people hold a negative view of asylum seekers crossing the channel. Little subculture indeed.

You'd think people could make their minds up.
There are no women on the boats but women are being murdered on them.
It's like there's no women on board, they're all men when that's handy to push, until you're trying to push the narrative that there are women when it fits.

The police can't win.

They escort them in and then you get nonsense posts like this with people spouting all sorts of drivel about conspiracy theories to bring people in etc etc.

They don't escort them in and then either one of two things happen

The migrants make it safely but undocumented / unregistered, free to do whatever they like.

The migrants don't make it because some racist thug takes knives to their boats, as happened the other day, and the police are villified for letting it happen. Meanwhile RNLI volunteers are once again put in harms way because these "concerned citizens" are actually violent bellends who would happily rape their wives and girlfriends whilst shouting loudly about brown sex offenders.

You are just making stuff up. Many of the protesters are women. Stop pretending everyone you disagree with is a rapist, it’s ridiculous.

There’s a few and they are at greater risk. It’s pretty simple tbf.

This pressure on Europe's borders is only going to get worse. Africa has the highest birth rate in the world, and the African population is going to double. As climate change intensifies, that young African population is going to head for Europe.

I am happy to help developing countries, but there comes a point where they also have to help themselves. Governments in Sub-Saharan Africa should be promoting birth control and family planning, especially given the climate crisis. If people want to stop the far-right in Europe, they should promote family planning in Africa. The key to the migration crisis is female liberation.

You really cannot seriously use the phrase "You might want to do some reading and educate yourself" in 2026!! Surely that's gone the way of calling people gammons? Hilarious.

The Germans obviously attacked people in other countries. That generally happens in a war. But as far as I am aware, again, none of those Poles and Czechs and Roma in Poland and Czechoslovakia and Romania had actually tried to invade Germany themselves?? Which is rather the point.

Isn’t kindness how people are supposed to react to one and other?

You're openly admitting you don't have the space to accommodate another person- so where do you think they should be going? We have circa 180,000 children living in temporary accommodation in UK already. Who is going to magic up all the housing and money for these extra people? You don't sound like you are capable of even helping one person?

People are legally entitled to claim asylum. Besides which, how is dumping them on the streets going to make society safer? So we're back to the usual - shoot them or hunger games or what, exactly?

  • Africa: ~1.59 billion (1,591,620,000). It is the second-most populous continent, accounting for roughly 19.1% of the global population.

India
~1.48 billion (1,479,537,000)
#1 (Most populous country in the world)
Pakistan
~260 million (259,989,000)
#5 globally
Afghanistan
~45.3 million (45,272,000)
#36 globally
Syria
~26.6 million (26,622,000)
#57 globally

can you understand that we CANNOT take everyone who DESERVES ASYLUM? Let alone those creeps who do not???

We cannot support this.
We have no money.
We were not asked.

The answer from me, is n.o.

And I do not care if they are all Saints.

What I don’t understand is: they are in inflatables. These are inflated on the French shores. Why don’t the French simply take a knife to them at the shoreline to deflate them, before anyone has boarded, before anyone is at risk. If you disable the boats at source, no-one can board them?

There are numerous ways these boats could be safely stopped if there was the will to do so.

This is why it’s pointless getting into a discussion about how precisely they should be stopped. The Navy and government bodies have the knowhow and capabilities to stop the boats if they want to. The fact is that they don’t want to and that’s what needs to be addressed.

No. It was the PPs response to my comment We're all nazis now, remember. Apparently. Because the majority of the population don't want illegal immigrants

So the subculture according to her is the majority of the population (according to polls).

No drowing mentioned.

It has been documented that women have been pushed off the boats to accommodate men. That is the calibre of the men we are allowing into the country

Not relevant. PP asserted that the majority don't want illegal immigrants here and was told that she was part of a little subculture, the data suggests otherwise.
