Protesters have blocked coaches taking migrants to Bibby Stockhom Barge today, and last month they managed to stop people being taken from Kent to the Barge. I'm glad people are standing up for others despite what the government is doing.

They are young men of fighting age, no women or children. Not asylum seekers, they've come from a safe country, France. They're illegal immigrants who regard the UK as a soft touch, benefits etc.

Which is odd as benefits are more generous in France

Drop them round your house then instead?
Should let the coach driver know?

But they aren't asylum seekers though, they were already in a safe country

I agree, sorry.

90% male and able bodied.

Happy to take women and children but not men who have deserted them.

They're not illegal immigrants, no one has yet assessed their claims! They are asylum seekers.

Which they have absolutely no obligation under law to stay in! They are more than entitled to claim asylum here.

Very odd they aren’t stopping coaches to Wethersfield base in Essex as well. Almost like they have an agenda and want locals there to have more migrants….
