Astonishing to hear people say they'd rather asylum seekers drowned than be saved by the RNLI. Next comes letting people die in burning hostels rather than be saved by the fire brigade and letting people get kicked to death in the street rather than be saved by the Police. Don't platform this hate.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

Spent the day in gorgeous Kingston, in a crowd which was Arab, South Asian, African, Caribbean, and European, all joined to celebrate and enjoy East Asian culture. This is what the men in black shirts hate and fear, but they will not overcome it

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

The group themselves admit to being a paramilitary with the goal of taking over the country by force, and they have been planning this for weeks! WHY have police and government been careful to ensure there are no consequences for this?!

A large group of co-ordinated, masked men blockading a piece of significant infrastructure is a security threat and should be dealt with as one. There should also be serious questions about why police/intelligence services didn't pick up on it in advance.

This country used to know how to deal with fascists interfering with the peaceful operation of Dover...
Photograph of British servicemen in full panto drag, manning (or possibly daming) a naval gun overlooking the Channel. I'm pretty sure this was taken for propaganda purposes rather than a genuinely spontaneous event - the idea that normal, sometimes silly, life was going on despite (and *to spite*) the Nazis was an important message on the home front.

As one who left a Dover school for uni early this century and still with close family in East Kent, surely the main concern rn is that the cowardly out-of-town #TwoBobBlackshirts are kept from harming a single hair on a migrant's head?

My extremely popular opinion is that the future GBR should make all carriages quiet carriages by default, with one noisy carriage at the back for people unable to live without loudspeakers. A bit like how trains used to have one smokers carriage for the cancer stick addicts.

Pile of books, one on a son of George III, one on museology, one play and two on policing history - in short, about average for me.

It's being treated as a policy victory that we have less of the world's smart young people coming to learn from us, participate in our society and economy. This is just so depressing to me, it feels like a complete victory for know-nothing ignorant bigotry over enlightened sensibilities.
