Travelers and freight traffic experienced significant disruption around the Port of Dover after masked demonstrators blocked major access routes during a “stop the boats” protest. The demonstration targeted key roads leading into the cross-Channel terminal to call for an end to small boat migrant crossings. Police officers were deployed to manage the disruption, clear the blockages, and separate the demonstration from opposing counter-protesters, working to restore normal traffic flow into the busy port.

Where he’s living not in this world wear wear it all time nothing said then we have to see it every day and where fed up of seeing being able to wear it all time it’s England
Typical right wing hooligans this is not a "Peaceful protest" the idea is to imtinidate.
Glad to see it.
Stop the boats!
Beach patrols next.
Worst ninjas I’ve ever seen …
but they are cavemen u know, they come from a baron cave man desert who lives off of donated football shirts.
they dont know better. its a squirrel roosting in ur attic. it dont know better
pigeons on the rafters
nah they viewing these small boat crosses as a form of animal,
when in fact they are smart, meticulous human beings who are capable of
deception, and advanced manipulation.
and they are choosing to be undocumented.
Great work lads.
If the police make it illegal to wear masks then wear the burqa and claim you are Muslim and exempt under religious grounds.
Good job lads. When your government fails us strong men step up to do something about it.
Stopping ferries? They're the wrong boats.
If they want to stop the small boats they should get their own dinghies and go out into the channel and stop them personally.
Or, better yet, they can go and get a job. 🙄
I believe these are the same sort people who would demand harsh penalties on climate protesters who block the road.
Fed up ok let them all live in Dover
Well done lads do what you gotta do in the face of government lies and corruption
There is no such thing as a "Spontaneous Protest" by 100's of co-ordinated, identically dressed, balaclavered men. That just happens to be during the Reform Party Conference.
BBC Leftists
Why are they all dressed like they're about to rob a jewelry store??
if Muslims cover their faces, they also have something to hide
What about wearing the burka, must also have something to hide , typical bbc bullshit
Read the BIBLE
The bible tells you why they're on boats sorry my freedom of speech
LOL… like the only thing wrong with the UK is immigration.
Grow up people.
Make this a daily event
Millions must go
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ great to see this
The only boats arriving in dover are ferries
Boat numbers are down is nothing to do with any government action is it.
Everyone can see the truth gets manipulated.
Let’s go
Boats need to Stop. All illegals Removed. Thats what the Majority of the Country want to see happen. For gods sake we have Failed Asylum Seekers that have been here for 8 Years. Appeal after Appeal Failed and Still Here. One illegal Cost £40,000 pounds to keep for 12 months. That £40,000 pounds is the State Pension of 3 Pensioners. Multiply that by the 240 who arrived a week ago. Thats the State Pension of 720 Pensioners in One Boat. Minimum Wage is £12.71 thats £25,775 Pounds a Year. Can you see why the People are Sick of it
Musk and Putin's merry band of Bots and Trolls are out in force today reinforcing their fascist message of hatred.
Residents. Bet most are glad to see something that might make the government do something. What does worry people is thousands of people supporting terrorism and antisemitism closing the streets of London repeatedly.
Elon Musk said there would be a Civil War in the UK within 20 years. Would anyone actually Disagree with what Elon Musk said.
BBBC seem upset about balaclavas but are OK with burqas which are far worse?
Such a heroic group with their hoodies and masks.
Boats are bigger holding near 200 now don't need as many crossings
Putting civilians against civilians to distract from the government. Where have i seen that before. The government and mainstream media are about to see consequences for actions.
religious coverings intimidate me as well as balaclavas but you dont mention that do you? just stop the boats and deport illigals ariving on them and only accept the jobs that are actually skilled its simple.
All the engineers and doctors protesting again. 😂😂
Shame on you, BBC
May it continue until the boats stop!!!
wow, such a clearly biased report from bbc 'news.' all sorts of insinuation against the protestors. i guess if the protestors wore 'covid masks' that would be ok. fvvk the bbc.
Apparently protesters were dropped off at the station by police, which suggests thwy aren't local. Can someone local please coment?
