    hmm. When Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil were doing this on roads during rush hour, the right were calling for the death penalty to be brought back for them. I’m interested in those same people’s view of this similar tactic from “stop the boats dot com”

      A short while ago, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage condemned protesters in Dover covering their faces.

      He said he “deplored” anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations.

      “You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level. So I deplore what is happening in Dover today,” Farage added.
