“Why didn’t police arrest them?” Because policing isn’t a video game. Officers had a large crowd blocking multiple roads. Their immediate priority was restoring access to Dover, not turning a blockade into a potentially bigger confrontation.

And while those officers are travelling to Dover, they aren’t covering the rest of Kent. That’s the operational trade-off people conveniently ignore. More resources at the port means fewer resources elsewhere in the county. #KentPolice #Policing

Kent Police has about 4,200 officers. The Met has over 31,000. So stop pretending Kent can police flash protests like London can. Police can’t be everywhere at once. We need a bit of realism about resources, geography and what officers are actually dealing with. #Kent #Policing #Dover
