"Couldn't get to work today because of this lot blocking all the roads in Dover!
Asked who they were and said they are here saving Britain.
I am being ridiculed about how i felt at the time, seriously didn't know who they were at the time!!"
@andyscollick.bsky.socialQuick trawl through Facebook regarding the #Dover paramilitary action and it seems that it has attracted support, some new; 'patriots' expected a 3-day action; criticism from Jenrick, Tice and especially Farage has gone down badly ("Reform UK are woke"); and more 'protests' are being asked for.
@lordsteveyp.bsky.socialIn a post on X the force said: "Kent Police responded to a spontaneous protest in #Dover during the morning of Saturday 5 September.
The Patriot Platform launched in June;
it held its first meeting on 19 July at Black Dam and Crabtree Nature Reserve, Basingstoke;
@creativecamden.bsky.social#Dover
This is another example of online right wing platforms gathering in their brethern to threaten, disrupt and undermine the fabric of our society. If those men are that courageous and certain of their right to protest why do they need to mask up?
@rhianwilliams.bsky.social@andyscollick.bsky.socialThank you everyone for taking this thread regarding the #Dover fascist paramilitary action seriously. 👏
It is serious. If the rot is not stopped now, then history shows that such rot can escalate rapidly to a very significant threat, especially given the broader context we have have now.
@iannlou.bsky.socialKent police statement: “Kent Police responded to a spontaneous protest in #Dover during the morning of Saturday 5 September”
Hundreds of men turning up in black outfits & balaclavas isn’t something “spontaneous”!
@julesarnia.bsky.social#Dover #MaskeMen #Boats #Immigrants Will someone please explain to me how a load of pathetic men in masks disrupting the town of Dover, stop immigrants traveling to our stores in rubber dinghy’s?
@andyscollick.bsky.socialCould Jonathan Reynolds, the UK business secretary, be any more limp?
"Costumes"? This clearly qualifies as "uniforms".
"On the whole, the police handled it very well"? No they didn't. They were reduced to providing an 'honour guard' as the paramilitaries headed home to the railway station. #Dover
@kmkmacdonald.bsky.social"Kent Police responded to a spontaneous protest in #Dover during the morning of Saturday 5 September."
Spontaneous- when hundreds of identically dressed, face-covered men of fighting age all turn up at the Port of Dover to demonstrate at the same time. Really ???

@amberdreams.bsky.socialIKR? I feel SO much safer knowing octogenarian grannies & vicars are banged up for holding signs, while masked thugs are allowed to do what they want on our streets, and nasty old white men are cheered on while pulling young women's hair for daring to disagree with their fascist views. Yup. #dover
@andyscollick.bsky.socialAlso on the subject of the fascist paramilitary 'storm' event at #Dover yesterday..
