Rather difficult not to feel a bit gloomy about the state of the country atm, so I wasn’t going to make much of a thing of this anniversary this year. And then I saw this and started to cry. Because a free and united Germany in a free and united Europe was worth it. And is worth fighting for now.

JFC, the Telegraph description reads: "Fresh from their 'stop the boats' demonstration in Dover on Saturday, masked protesters board a train as three female passengers, unconnected with the men, look on." And the title is - I kid you not - "Race for the train". AREN'T MASKED RACIST MILITIAS FUN?

Hundreds of men wearing balaclavas blocked traffic in the port of Dover, south England, on Saturday in what appeared to be an anti-immigration protest. Later that day, at a different protest in Portsmouth, demonstrators clashed with police.

Lowe going even lower. An official carrying out the policies of an elected government is threatened with imprisonment. What's going on here is deeply disturbing.
Rupert Lowe

A high-ranking official in the Home Office is today ordering where to send those invaders that arrived in Portsmouth last night.

Which is the next Piddington, or Epping, or Crowborough, or Thetford?

I want that man or woman to know that if they give the order to place hundreds of unvetted young men into a British community, then a Restore Britain Government will aim to prosecute them.

This is retrospective.

If we win power, and we're already the fourth largest political party through membership, that official will be dragged through the courts.

With prison the ultimate aim.

Currently, we are fourth favourite with the bookmakers to win the most seats well ahead of the Lib Dems and the Greens. For a six month old party, that is impressive.

But we need more.

Lend us your support and give this threat real teeth.

That official needs to know that there will be consequences for their actions.

Not in 2029, but now. Today. 2026.

That is what Restore Britain is promising the British people.

Consequences.

AfD media relations: 61-year-old journalist writing for Politico says she was physically assaulted and dragged to police by an AfD security guard after attempting to talk to the AfD’s lead candidate She was told “mainstream” press were not welcome at the AfD event www.politico.eu/article/ulri...
Beyond the conviviality of the sausage line, the mood can sour fast — as I discovered when I sought to speak with Siegmund in Lützen, only to be told "mainstream" press were not welcome. I was roughly jostled aside, my arm twisted by a musclebound heavy flanking Siegmund, who sported an earpiece and a lavishly tattooed neck.
"Move or I will take you to the police," he barked. We had a short, unproductive debate about the constitutionally guaranteed right to report freely in public places.
Another hard arm twist and shove ensued, ending with me stumbling over a curb and being dragged to a police car. No one seemed much bothered by this.

🤔 Protester Terrorist
Hundreds of protesters, dressed in black and wearing face coverings, blocked roads in the Port of Dover and chanted "stop the boats" on 6 September 2026. There were no arrests.
