Police have ‘locked down’ an entire town to stop unrest by setting up a dispersal zone covering the whole of Gosport following protests sparked by the arrival of a migrant boat using a ‘new route’ from Normandy. The Mail has more.
The order means anyone gathering in the Hampshire town of Gosport who does not leave when instructed to do so by a police officer can be arrested.
Hampshire Constabulary has also banned protesters from wearing face coverings to conceal their identity.
Six people were arrested during clashes between police and around 300 protesters last night as two RNLI lifeboats brought 149 migrants ashore.

The dinghy was seen heading towards Britain from near Utah Beach in Normandy yesterday morning, making it the latest boat to take the far longer route across the Channel rather than the more usual crossing from the Calais area to Dover.
The dinghy was shadowed by French rescue vessels until it was met by the RNLI boats in British waters. The migrants were landed at Haslar Marina in Gosport and have now been taken by coach to Dover for processing.
The RNLI is stepping up security at its locations across the south coast after coming under renewed criticism from anti-immigration protesters.
The charity is taking action after members of the public gained access to a restricted building at its headquarters in Poole, Dorset, by ‘tailgating’ staff. It has now submitted an urgent planning application to install three access-controlled security gates.
It comes as two men died and two women were injured in northern France after attempting the crossing to England.
French authorities said the men, one in his 30s and the other in his 40s, died after leaving the coast at Berck overnight. The women were taken to hospital after suffering burns to large areas of their bodies, the authorities said.
Crossings continued today, with photos showing migrants in lifejackets being brought ashore at the Port of Dover.
Protesters began gathering in Gosport last night after reports emerged that the migrant boat was due to arrive.

Defund the RNLI. It’s complicit in criminal anti-British activities.

They have the resources to prevent law abiding citizens from exercising their democratic right to protest, but not to stop people invading our country. Since WW2 the establishment has forced immigration onto us at every turn – at every turn, they had the choice between solving the “problem” by stopping immigration or solving it by making it illegal or unacceptable to protest against it. You have to ask yourself why.

Burnhams Labour Government against the British people.
My suggestion is that people who are against the atrocities being perpetrated against the British people to simply protest peacefully. They should turn their backs to the police to signify that they consider them to be instruments of a repressive state. They should do so to any policeman anywhere without exception. The same should be done to politicians, the RNLI and anyone who is facilitating the trafficking of people.

The govt plus the entire rotten machinery of the state.
Looking on the bright side the SAS are on our side I suspect, may be that’s why they’re being wound down.
It does appear that this government has made enemies of our armed forces!
The UK government against its people. Only one winner there!
