Were anti terror laws used against them in the end? Weren't there calls by certain sections on the right to run them over? Let's wait and see. |  | | |  |

| These balaclava wearing chaps in Dover on 08:53 - Sep 6 by Benters | I wonder if anyone of those that down arrowed me would be so kind to explain to me why it is a good idea ? |
I doubt anyone thinks that the boats are a good thing at all. We are down voting the bigger boats point, which has already been corrected in this thread. The stats are based on number of people crossing, not the number of boats, and that 'bigger boats' narrative is just the latest attempt to keep the pot stewing. [Post edited 6 Sep 9:56]

It's also a distraction from the fact that the government policy to make it harder to source small boats is working. The smugglers are having to revert to larger but much less frequent crossings that are easier to detect. SB |  |

| These balaclava wearing chaps in Dover on 08:56 - Sep 6 by StokieBlue | So to confirm, you're asking for a response and explanation after spending your entire return refusing to respond to requests for explanations? Wow. SB |
As you’re so interested in people providing answers to your questions these days, any chance of you providing an answer to mine of several years ago, which you repeatedly refused to answer at the time, re what your scientific qualifications were? Following which refusal to answer, you’ve since jumped on to have an unpleasant, unjustified pop at me several times, including relatively recently. |  |

That's a really weird post, should I go through all your posts over the last 5 years and point out all the scientific inaccuracies? Why aren't you concerned about Benters never providing responses to questions? Where have I been concerned at people not answering my questions? I've barely responded to you in years since that incident because I feel you've become disingenuous with your framing (like you're being here) and you take everything as a slight if it doesn't agree with your narrative. I've deliberately made a point not to reply to you. Good to see you joining the pile-on though, great work, lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. And no, I'm not telling you anything about me, especially after someone tried to impersonate me a few weeks ago using personal knowledge that they got from this forum. I'm frankly stunned you would even ask given that happened. SB |  |

This is all a bit strange. You made a general point earlier in the day: "I'm sure they are just busy on a Saturday which is understandable and they will be along later to condemn the actions as disgraceful and to point out they might be blocking ambulances and suchlike." I came on to respond and you downvoted me and now say I was trying to continue a thread for an argument! You must find that amusing and you're just playing with me. In which case let me know so I can laugh at myself too. |  | |  |

People probably can't be bothered to explain, because for starters your premise is wrong - we don't thinking letting loads of unvetted men into our country is a good idea. The issue is much, much more nuanced than that. And we know from years of experience that you're not interested in facts, details, nuance... or politics, frankly, outside of 'Farage: great, whoever the Labour leader is: bad'. |  |

Accidental upvote from me. For someone who regularly claims to be an innocent victim on here, this joining in with the anti-Stokers pile-on (particularly over something from "several years ago") is really not nice and unnecessary. You're better than this. |  |

So you’ve labelled a post asking you for a reply, and stating facts, as “really weird”. My question obviously pre-dated your stalking by several years. Interesting that you see my asking you to reply to my question as “a pile on”. Yes, please do post all of my “scientifically inaccurate” and/or “disingenuous” posts from whenever, it’s your own time to waste. I don’t feel the slightest bit slighted where people are being honest, accurate and genuine. Which you’re not being here - though I actually often do agree with you on various things. |  |

Yet you've asked for more personal information today, after the impersonation incident, you don't see the issue here? I would never ask anyone about their personal life on here, it's for them to voluntarily post or it's off limits. I think it's a hugely unacceptable thing to even ask. SB [Post edited 6 Sep 10:36]

There have been numerous incidents of people's personal life being used against them on here over the years, I'd agree it is massively off limits unless offered up. Regardless of any of our individual politics or social outlook, we're all entitled to our privacy off here. |  |

odd that your mind should go to a black-led march, when there's more violent and more recent right-wing protests that have happened. |  |

Incorrect assumption. I simply don't respond well to the personal nature of many posts towards me. I haven't resorted to name calling or assuming a false intention from someone and I won't start now. I don't want a pile on of SB, or anyone else for that matter. I actually enjoy reading and responding to many of his posts, that's my nature and hopefully he sees that. We don't agree on much at all, but who cares? isn't that the point? It's not a kids playground. Just make sure the same standards are applied to everyone. |  | |  |

| These balaclava wearing chaps in Dover on 07:41 - Sep 6 by GlasgowBlue | I recall posting about a pro Palestine convoy driving through a Jewish area of north London chanting “Fcuk the Jews, rape their daughters” a few years back. Didn’t get any condemnation from “a certain element” on here. Did get some “but Israel” Whatabouttery. Which neatly brings us back to the point Dubtractor was making last night. Anyway, can I please give my apologies for being absent for the rest of the day. At a Northern Soul alldayer. Don’t want my silence to be interpreted as complicity if anything kicks off in the news today. |
don't remember anyone saying that was fine, or "it was peaceful, so it's not a problem" as here? who condoned or supported it? |  |
