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.

Has Twatto been arrested yet?

Hideous. But when the state has lost control (which they have. As they can't stop the illegal immigrants) then society at large starts breaking down.

The state hasn't lost control. They could stop this. They are choosing not to. The question is WHY? We weren't invaded during WW2....

How often do nuclear weapons get transported then, according to your buddy on twitter? Up and down the M4, 5 and 6 all the time, with a couple of police cars?

You can google it if you don’t believe it happens.

I think most people realise this now. I don't know what is going to happen.

What is going to happen is the small boat crossings will continue to decrease and the speed at which applications are dealt with will continue to increase.

Making threats against the RNLI is disgusting
Now they ARE an organization who DO operate without fear or favour

The RNLI are escorting boats of illegal immigrants from half way across the Channel to France. We can’t pretend they are just here to save lives at sea these days.

Rumour has it that he has.

It's pretty much cross party now regarding party supporters including even Labour voters. Its just the government and PLP that don't seem to have read the room. And they are the ones in power.

It takes a strong ideological mentality to ignore the Security Services when they warn that hostile states like Iran are using the boats to infiltrate the UK anonymously. You would think immediate emergency powers or starting the process to leave the ECHR if that's what is stopping them sort this out would be appropriate. But no. We all instead have to "take our fair share".

The amount of disinformation and stupidity on here is something to behold. Please don’t feed the bots, people.

If there’s any truth, it’s as simple as “police photographed doing some policing of protests and ensuring public safety.” Pretty uncontroversial, I’d say.

Good advice. Am going to heed it!

The RNLI volunteers would risk their own lives to save you if you were drowning.

Because they arent two tier. Which is a phrase i hear a lot from a certain quarter Go ad-free Go ad-free

The post screenshot in the OP is from a Reform supporter on X so 🧂 needed I think?

You can go on Twitter or Facebook and look at the videos for yourself. Or you can pretend it’s all made up. Completely up to you.

What we know is that only 1% are genuine asylum seekers. And yet significantly more are granted asylum. I assume to get the numbers of asylum seekers down, the number of approvals will just go up so people can be free to enter society. We can't exactly trust the government figures any more.

"Ordinary citizens" being men dressed in black with black balaclavas, yes?

They are not wearing balaclavas. And they are not all men.

@Persephonia1966 ”Why did you say it was to protect migrants when you later said it was about (empty) coaches and then say you don't know what's going on”

I didn’t say it was to protect migrants. I think you’ve got your posters in a muddle?

I have genuinely never seen this before for the coaches that meet the boats off the coast. It genuinely made me wonder if something else was going on. Bizarre. I have my theories, but this is not a safe space to share them.

and I really am going to bed now!

Perfectly logical and reasonable to cover their faces given how we know the State deals with certain people that oppose it's policies. Not all people of course...just some.

Persephonia1966 · Yesterday 23:41

The OP themselves said later on the escort was for coaches that were meant to carry migrants (but since the migrants weren't actually arriving at Gosport in the end if this is true those coaches would be empty). Therefore, rightly or wrongly the only people being protected by the escort would be the people driving the coaches.

So no, in a word, it's not true. The only people being protected were coach drivers. I am fine with that though TBH I am fine with anyone that needs protection getting it. I just don't understand why anyone would resent drivers who presumably pay tax and are citizens being protected. Or try to misrepresent it as immigrants being protected despite apparently knowing there were no immigrants there.... 🤔

To you understand this very complicated scenario, the boats were diverted to land elsewhere, so the coaches, and accompanying police motorcade, are driving to the elsewhere to pick the “asylum seekers” up from the newly arranged rendezvous point.

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.

You know who to blame don’t you? Have a look how many migrant boat crossings were reported pre Brexit, then take the whole sorry mess up with (you likely hero) Nigel Farage

He didn’t slash a dinghy with migrants on it

He was approaching it and someone jumped onto it as he was approaching but I’m not clear who it was. From the background talk, it sounds like everyone had disembarked and then he slashed it.

It’s a bugger because now all the talk will be about him.

Yes, likely to give fuel to calls for further clampdowns on protests 🤔

How do you know this? Do you have a link for this statistic?

At the protest at Portsmouth the other week, people were filming what the RNLI and other organisations had ready for the “asylum seekers” in tents set up to welcome them, which included packs of clothes with comfy pyjamas.

You can find the videos on Twitter.

The RNLI do not provide welcoming tents, or cuddles, or snuggly pyjamas. They volunteer their time and risk their lives to save strangers from drowning at sea, without prejudice. That is all. If "Tommo" (whoever the fuck he might be) punctures his own (or somone else's) dinghy, they would rescue him too, without prejudice. To assign political motives to the RNLI is disgusting.

JoyousWriter · Today 00:11

Presumably this is to prevent another racist from slashing another dinghy?

This is one of the most racist, unpleasant, vicious threads I've ever read.

These people are not "illegals". It is legal to come here and claim asylum. The UK ended legal routes, which is why the system is in disarray. It makes asylum seekers wait 2 years plus for a decision, hence rhe backlog of cases, hence hotels. It is illegal for asylum seekers to work, hence the cost.

This thread reads like a circle jerk Biscuit

Thanks for that intelligent contribution but better to read first before commenting which you clearly haven’t as people are posting on the thread with totally opposing views on the situation.
