Anti-migrant protests are just the beginning. This is Why
We have become used to seeing protests against small boat arrivals in the UK, but the speed and size of those in Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend felt like something new.
The demonstrations were led by a group founded by Daniel Thomas – an associate of far-right activist Tommy Robinson – who described the protests as “only the beginning”.
Local authorities were seemingly caught out by events. So, will we now see more similar demonstrations? And what can the police do?

Sly news of course will try and paint the protestors as thugs and move the story from the migrant issue and towards the protestors behaviour. Almost all the protests were completely peaceful but sly news and the rest of the open borders media care more about the migrants than British citizens.
Is it reaction to what was done to Pete Lynch & Tommy R & Lucy C & age 18 Dr Grace Kumar at Nottingham ?
IT’S NOT ANTI MIGRANT! IT’S PRO BORDER CONTROL
The Government needs to act to stop illegal migration or the inaction will drag the country further and further to the Right.
Look whats happening and why, politically all over Europe. once the centre shifts it will be almost impossible to drag back. Action must be taken or this will just get far far worse.
I wish Tommy Robinson wasn’t as convenient for the left and MSM to bring up as he is. Not his fault but it does more harm than good.
legal or illegal most are not following the law, committing fraud which is destroying the economy!!!
