By sheer coincidence the Reform Party conference was on this week.

Doing exactly what Fox GB News tells them to do.

Knuckle dragging troglodytes being lead around proudly by their prejudice.

    Thick as shit morons, didn't see any evidence of illegal arrivals, but no doubt be posting how they prevented a flood coming in. Meanwhile, the average person in the UK has tax to pay whilst the multi-billionaire individuals and companies do not. Rumour has it that someone paid for a poll to be generated..........

    Now that's how you advertise tourism in the middle of a self-inflicted economic recession!

    Could someone kindly remind me what happened to the climate protestors that blocked roads? Presumably the same will happen here as we are a middle-of-the-road, centre-ground, non-extremist country that treats everyone the same?

    By “engaging with the protestors”, do they mean that a lot of them are actually just the police in a different uniform?

    No genuinely organic group dresses so similar.

    Why do legitimate protesters have to hide their faces? What are they ashamed of?

    I mean, hiding your face is generally good practice if you're doing something the government really doesn't like. Of course these guys are fascist, but in general there are things you'd rather the government not know you're protesting for.

    I too have been on protest marches. Evey government for over a decade has talked about being hard on immigration and stopping the boats. This lot need not fear that they're doing something the government really doesn't like. They deserve mockery because it's clear that they don't want people to identify them. My guess is that are known neo-nazis, and they want to pretend to be 'ordinary concerned citizens'; my second guess is that they are a rent-a-mob, funded through Nigel's dodgy £5M, and this is a distraction from the C4 illegal donations story. It can be both, of course.

    We locally refer to these protesters as think-as-shit morons.

    hmm. When Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil were doing this on roads during rush hour, the right were calling for the death penalty to be brought back for them. I’m interested in those same people’s view of this similar tactic from “stop the boats dot com”

    They sure look like a pleasant bunch. Merely concerned fathers, I am sure.

    Anti-hate organisation Hope Not Hate claims that Patriot Platform arranged the protest, saying the group began meeting in July and has brought together members of anti-migrant groups from around the country.

    I'll be surprised if they find even a single boat on the road.

    Are these the same thugs that voted to "start the boats" by exiting the EU?

    Another case of the people who think they're doing "good" obviously know they're not and wearing balaclavas and other masks.
