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.

It’s that simple to you, isn’t it. If I don’t go along with this, I must want people to die.

Luckily many people can see beyond this sort of emotional manipulation.

Why were they saying 'Let them drown' if that's not what they wanted to happen? Was it just a fun, quirky chant that meant something different? What do you think 'Let them drown' means?

those attacking people concerned about and wanting to stop the boats.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am specifically criticising

1). Daniel Thomas and his supporters
2). People who attack the RNLI for saving people from drowning, or who suggest that they are somehow involved in a government conspiracy to help migrants cross the channel. (Again, why not just put them on a ferry?)

I don't think any sane person actually wants migrants to cross the channel in unseaworthy dinghies.

The system we have will have just that though.

It didn't even happen. There were no migrants landed at Gosport last night they were landed at Dover it was all just social media rubbish. God knows what the picture is of, maybe from a few days ago maybe something completely different.

You’re deluded. Your children and grandchildren are going to be the minority in their own country, their own schools.
This country is currently a diabolical mess. Soon we’ll all be entitled to claim asylum in other countries. I just hope the right can unite and we get a reform or restore govt soon who will try their best to undo the mess and send the third world back.
hope we can get our billions back from the useless frogs too.

Crikey, they might catch multiculturalism or something?

If you want to leave and try to claim asylum on the basis that too many brown people are being allowed in, then in absolutely give that a go. At least if people who think like you leave, there'll be less chance of the rest of us catching racism.

Things aren't perfect in the UK, but they certainly aren't dire either. If that's truly what you think, it shows you have absolutely no idea of the life circumstances many have to endure worldwide.

Are the women who are demonstrating drug dealers, wife beaters and kidnappers?

The Piddington Populace are known for it. Racist wife and husband beating bastards.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary said it was conducting inquiries into the boat-slashing incident.

It said officers had made six arrests for offences including assaulting an emergency worker and aggravated trespass. All six people were in custody on Tuesday night.

The real fascists are the left. They have used mass immigration to IMPOSE a new identity on this country. No one voted for multiculturalism.

The left like to think of themselves as the kind, compassionate people. In reality, they are every bit as hate-filled as the so-called 'faaaar-right'. But their hatred is directed towards middle-class 'NIMBYs' who read the Daily Telegraph and live in small villages. They know that mass immigration destroys people's identity. They also know that those middle-class NIMBYs will have their villages ruined by the endless development required to house the immigrants. AND THAT'S WHY THEY SUPPORT MASS IMMIGRATION. It delights the left to see middle-class Mail-readers suffer. Andrew Neather, a speechwriter for Blair, said their plan was "to rub the right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date." Spoken like a true, hate-filled fascist.

Those people in Piddington have no idea how much the left hate them. They have no idea how much pleasure it gives the left to see their lives ruined.

I’m pretty sure it was the working class who Blair’s government wanted to rub their noses in diversity. It is now starting to affect the middle class too, but strong objection to mass migration has always been stronger amongst the working class.

We are Britain, not the world.

Do I have to let everyone in, and be thankful, because my life is less bad than a womans life in Afghanistan?

Don't be so disingenuous.

I want my life in my country, to reflect my values and allow me to look after my people woth the tax I pay. Life is substantially worse now than it was 20 years ago.

I'm sure the people of Piddington would prefer it if all thugs stayed away from their village, wherever they were born.

Our children agree intrinsically worth any more than anyone else's children. Would I prefer my children to live in a slightly overpopulated country (there are many places that are more densely populated than we are), so that someone else's children is less likely to die from poverty related illness, or has a chance for an education that they couldn't get in their home country, absolutely. Because I'm a decent person.

Well, be aware that the person you are sacrificing your child's quality of life for, doesn't care about you. They will take what they can and not give two hoots about you and your child.

I wondered if anyone remembers this news from Germany in 2015?

On New Year's Eve in 2015, more than 1,000 women were sexually assaulted in Cologne by groups of men, many from North Africa and the Middle East, triggering a fierce debate over Germany's refugee policy.

Ten years on, victims say their trauma was politicized, as they continue to live with the consequences of that night.

It's very unfortunate that the RNLI has become part of the people smugglers business model, providing a taxi service to the UK.

But what we really need to do is tackle the pull factors. Macron has told us this already. We grant asylum at double the rate of France. That could be restricted. We also need to stop funding the charities that supply the activist lawyers, reduce the number of appeals allowed, make a law that says if a person enters the UK illegally they will NEVER be granted LTR. There's lots of things the government could do, if they had the political will.

Immigration has transformed this country. I no longer live in a nation with a shared history or shared culture or shared identity.

Oh dear. I do.

Not if you live in the UK, you don't.

The relevant sections of the ECHR needs amending. It’s not fit for purpose as it was intended all those years ago.

That’d stop those leeching legals from Doughty chambers (correct me if I’m wrong I think it’s them) making money from people’s misery.

The benefits need to be stopped so there is no pull factor.

The criminal gang members profiting need to be weeded out and punished severely so it’s not an attractive option.

The gvt can do all of these things. It does none of these things.

I must be imagining the church and the village green and the bowling and cricket clubs then. I could have sworn that I saw a production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' this summer, but presumably that was all psyops and Shakespeare has been banned?

The radical barristers who really lay down the law in Britain

The facade of Garden Court Chambers in Lincoln’s Inn Fields is reassuringly traditional. The barristers who work there occupy buildings which were once home to the Earl of Sandwich and the Tory prime minister Spencer Perceval. If there were any building in London in which wigs and gowns would seem a natural form of dress, it would be here.

But the facade is just that. For behind the pedimented Georgian windows there operates arguably the most radically effective cell of left-wing activists in Britain. Barristers are supposed to adhere to the cab-rank principle: they act for the first client who comes calling. Many of Garden Court’s lawyers, however, though they operate across a wide range of cases, appear to be united by one thing – their unerring tendency to champion the most left-wing causes conceivable.

Although thinking about it the Domesday book was the work of people who crossed the channel in relatively small boats.... Maybe I just need to do the research...

Maybe comment on the lived experience of actual immigrant families instead of pretending to be insulted.

Ha ha you’re showing yourselves up. Of course you live in lovely areas unaffected by mass uncontrolled immigration. That’s why it’s not a problem for you.
