From The Times today. The protests are understood to have been organised by a coalition of left-wing student groups, Black Lives Matter, local refugee charities, and a group of teachers who teach migrants English.

Protesters slashed the coach tyres and jammed rental bikes under its wheels to stop it moving. Dozens were arrested which is good!.

Soas Detainee Support, which campaigns for a world without borders or prisons helped to organise the protests. It uses Twitter to co-ordinate protests and issue “call-outs” to addresses. The group said:”Comrades have stopped our friends being taken to Biddy barge - but more numbers needed!.

Seems I underestimated them Dangerous Loony Left.

Rent-a-mob indeed.

‘A world without borders or prisons’? Lord give me strength.

They are just thugs and cowards. Protesting, about what. At least these people are being given a roof over their heads, all mod cons, paid for by us. More than our veterans or homeless, or even single mums get. This rabble need to get a job.

So why aren’t the government helping veterans, homeless and single parents? I don’t see how helping migrants would mean that they can’t help other people. Surely they aren’t using migrants as the reason why they won’t help other people?

Shall we look at the money they are pouring into migrant care. Probably haven't any left for our own people.
No condemnation from you re these thugs though, just a bit of whataboutery .

A lot of the money has been diverted from the overseas aid budget. But I would assume that some people aren’t happy about having an overseas aid budget either.

👏👏👏Primrose and Katie.

Illegal migrants are not “free” until their case has been finalized, they have to obey the rules, some posters have said migrants live in tents maybe they would prefer that.

Protesters are just rent a mob

Perhaps when they are going to move people they shouldn't give them prior notice just swoop in and take them.

Are you for real?

It makes me feel physically sick. These are human beings you are talking about. People just like you, me our kids and grandkids.

In amongst there will be the good and the bad and a whole bunch of very ordinary folk.

How can that make you feel physically sick? Yes they’re humans but they are humans who have not been invited here!

The Police don’t give notice when they take someone away. Social Services don’t give notice when they remove children from homes. why should illegal immigrants get special treatment?

Those final two sentences were very important and they bear out that these protesters are indeed loony left idiots. Rent-a-mob. Any cause will do, regardless of whether they know anything about it.

The immigrants should just be taken with no prior notice. Rather like a dawn raid by the police,

Excellent. You only missed the last couple of sentences then! 👏👏

I remember the plane passengers that stopped the deportation of a young man.
He was guilty of a violent rape.
I’m sure his victims would have been devastated.
These do gooders need to butt out.

Couldn’t agree more.

Just as a matter of interest what is the connection between this protest and veterans please?

Money , money. Wasted here when can be spent better elsewhere.

Yet you bothered to post, how strange.

I have just seen footage on the breakfast news, many of these protesters had their faces covered, so they do not want to own their actions.

The coach turned away without picking up its passengers, so no one was transferred to the Bibby Stockholm.

Rent-A-Mob on the streets again. Most of them have no idea what they are protesting about.

Despite the Armed Forces Covenant, many veterans still find themselves homeless, not offered any accommodation by Local Authorities.
