Masked men at Dover - KKK vibes

[MumofCandR]

They are utter cowards and hypocritical. The same ilk will state they're against the burkha and protests by environmental groups etc. but are happy to mask their faces in 'protest' the reality is they're just nasty specimens of humanity, full of people with self righteous white supremacy tendencies. AIBU.

Why were they protesting at Dover's port? Do they have something against hauliers, or people off to Brittany on their hols? Why did they all feel the need to wear head to toe black, and ski masks? It's almost as if they were told to wear the get up to look intimidating, otherwise surely most of them would have been in trackies, jeans or shorts and t-shirts.

I take your point that racists WILL be anti boats
and that not all anti boats people are racists
thanks

Yes the majority

It’s all mega divide and rule distraction from the very wealthy extracting wealth and asset stripping out countries ….in old folk homes profits, sewage in every river but 100 of millions of profits extracted to share holders and more. It’s a ‘look over here, be afraid’ distraction. I live by a migrant dispersal centre and see nothing but contribution and participation ..vibrant interesting additions to our society.

Unless we have gone mad as a society and claim we don’t have home grown vile rapists and murderers too?

yes exactly - time’s up, folks, @metameta here is your bus fare,
take yourself off home now chuck

Well they built the nightingale hospitals without a single shot being fired as far as I'm aware. Perhaps they would build some electronic warning system in the channel or a huge net across the dividing line. Who knows? Luckily I'm not in charge of thinking of something. The important thing is that the military seems to be wheeled out when the apparatus of civilian government is failing. Which it clearly is. As the military do a proper effective job.

Anyway. Try not to let the media whip you up so much op. You'll make yourself ill if you carry on thinking peaceful protestors are like the KKK and will burn everyone's homes. Do you get out much? .

And as a black British woman with mixed race daughters and a son, I would not feel comfortable being in the street, or a train carriage, with silent, balaclava clad men, or knowing my children were. And if you think my comfort matters less than yours, I’d consider you a white supremacist.

If that's the case I pity you and nothing can be done for you.

Serious criminals who can’t just fly in on private jet??

They clearly don't want to be identified by trolls/nutters who will incorrectly label them 'far right' or'KKK' and try to destroy their lives. Why not Dover? People protest anywhere it doesn't have to be in the exact spot that dinghies arrive y'know.

Then you would be very wrong, but you are extremely racist

What a witty response - your wit knows no bounds 😂.

Absolutely agree ..imagine not understanding what that clothing choice means in addition to racist chants

Thanks - I appreciate your response, I’m
taking your insights on board 👍

Oh lord, I didn't realise it was those 2 scrotes behind the protest. I thought they were in France, asking for (and being given) money to finance them posing in front of, then stabbing, dinghies.

Please tell me how I’m ‘extremely racist’?

it was a genuine question. I find it interesting that you haven’t answered it.

Stop lying.

Seems you can be kept in custody after being charged but without going to court for up to 182 days but they can apply for an extension. Is that what happened?

Looks like Tommo has admitted he was paid to set this up, and the funds are linked to some interesting characters.

Anyone who thinks this is about stopping the boats or protecting UK citizens is wrong. Paid for disruption is never about citizens, it’s always about power.

Banned from France I think.

Thank you. If only those pretending that everyone who protests the boats is a harmless upright citizen took it too.
I would like to see an end to the small boat crossings. I think you'd struggle to find anyone who wouldn't. Even those who actively support asylum seekers don't want them to arrive this way.
But those who refuse to accept that concern about immigration has been hijacked by some extremely dangerous bad actors and condemn them where they appear, is at best naive and at worst complicit.

But that doesn't explain why they were all dressed exactly the same all in black. They could have all worn jeans and a blue t-shirt, or beige shorts and a white t-shirt. Or a mix of colours and clothing. But no, all black is far more intimidating.

And as for people protesting anywhere, all they did was inconvenience fellow citizens trying to do a day's work, or perhaps heading off on a much anticipated holiday. That's not going to win them any support.

Jesus Christ. A huge net across the sea?

What an amazing, practical and not at all completely ridiculous suggestion!

Let's spend untold billions of pounds rigging up a net that would somehow stop dinghies but let the hundreds of ferries and merchant ships which use the Channel every day pass freely through without disruption. Why didn't we think of that before??

The thing is, stopping the boats is hard. Nobody wants them. The government would love nothing more than to stop them. But it's really very difficult, and the overstretched military probably have better things to be doing.

Nobody knows how to stop them, least of all these balaclava wearing thugs.
