That sounds most interesting, I might have to actually take a peek.

Thank you

The reason I wouldn’t want to watch something like you’ve just suggested is because it feels somehow “contrived” - bit like all these “reality” shows which are rehearsed and highly edited. They’re not real at all.

That’s how I feel about using Tik-Tok, for anything other than entertainment.

MT62 What might YouTube actually open my eyes to??

The fact that many people in many different countries don’t welcome Asylum Seekers? That some countries don’t welcome migrants?

I don’t need YouTube for that, I can just pop on here

I have friends who live in the South of France, Spain and Turkey, all whom I’ve visited many times. I know the feelings that they have about those moving through or visiting or moving permanently to their countries. You’ll never guess? Some don’t welcome Brits!

I am not surprised they don’t welcome some brits, staggering up & down drunk.
You can’t blame them.

I watch anything & everything on YouTube- like to try & get a balanced view.
It’s a tough time for everyone over in Ceuta at the moment.
Even those that landed on the beach believe it, or not.

I don’t do TikTok, X, FB or anything else apart from on here.

Just off to watch ‘Two Germans in Britain’. They are staying in a lovely cottage around the area where the Hovis advert was filmed in the 80s.

Why don’t you give YouTube a go Cossy, (don’t know about the other platforms) might open your eyes!
Not all AI.
I am just watching something on Ceuta migrants., Someone is asking some Spanish citizens if they will take in a migrant, course comes the reply!
Well here’s Sam from Nigeria, he’s looking for a home.
Now comes the BS excuses (theirs is that they are on holiday),
Another, he’s already in an HMO.
Unbelievable the excuses folk come out with.

Sorry, I think I may have misled, I have been on YouTube, to get help for things I cannot do mainly, you know when you struggle with something practical and then someone in the know shows someone like me, how to do what I need to do, in very easy steps. I’ve never “followed” or “subscribed” to anyone on it, except my son when he was in his teens haha!

I’m not adverse to it, it’s just not my chosen channel for news.

16 September : Del Somerville, 42, pleaded guilty at Portsmouth Crown Court to violent disorder after the overnight protest at Eastney Marina on 6 September.

He was the first person to be arrested over the disorder, which saw hundreds of protesters gather after a boat carrying about 120 migrants was brought ashore at nearby Eastney Beach.

Somerville, from Paulsgrove, is due to be sentenced on 24 September.

My guess - this will be classed as B2 for sentencing as it involved an attack on police officers. The starting point is two years custody. He could get 1-3 years.

Couldn't you find any? I'm on Facebook, X and on Borrowbox where I can view all newspapers also AI and news programmes.

Look, frankly is impossible trying to have a conversation with you frankly, I don’t use any of those media you mention for my news updates.

However I have access to the BBC, Sky News and Google.

I'm not looking I don't believe there has been any convictions, its posters on here who have said they have and seeing some are always quoting facts I thought they would be able to produce actual evidence, obviously they can't because there isn't any I don't think but I'm ok to be proven wrong but don't lose any sleep over it.

Peacelillydily, may I very politely suggest you ask Google?
For example
'Which crimes have some men in Patriot Platform been found guilty of?
Offences include dangerous driving,
wounding and assault,
common assault,
assaulting a Police Officer,
violent disorder,
Will this do for starters?

I don't blame the RNLI in Portsmouth. Why risk your life to save others only to be abused. It's appalling.

Couldn't you find any? I'm on Facebook, X and on Borrowbox where I can view all newspapers also AI and news programmes.

Btw, Portsmouth RNLI has temporarily ceased operations specifically due to the actions of Patriot Platform.

Utterly disgraceful!

Would you like to know what I’m fed up with? I expect the answer is no, but here goes;

I am fed up with;

People not believing facts

People repeating third or fourth hand what other people say

People constantly repeating, the government aren’t listening to us

Migrants, including Asylum Seekers, have been welcome in this country for decades.

People of all races/nations/faiths have committed crimes in the entire world, and very sadly will continue to do so.

This rhetoric has now gone far beyond politics, it’s vile, nasty and mainly untrue.

Governments refusing to listen?

Starmer listened, he changed the WFA because he listened and acted.

He put things in place to slow down the Asylum Seekers and speed up the processing of claims.

He stepped down for the country and his beloved Labour Party to allow Burnham to become PM without disruption.

Burnham is building on the good foundation Starmer built.

1,600 boats have been seized by the French authorities in the last 12 months, as a direct result of bi-lateral agreements set up between Macron and Starmer, and fewer AS have made to the UK, fewest since 2022.

I am amazing I amaze myself sometimes it doesn't take much time to put someones name into Youtube I wondered what all the fuss was about and yes I don't know about supporting/sticking up for him but I can understand how this movement,call it what you want, Patriot Platform is gaining support because people are fed up with.governments ignoring them re immigration etc. Also I've not seen on Youtube any convictions regarding Patriot Platform members specifically perhaps you can find some.

Perhaps YOU can use sources for news other than YouTube.

God helps us all if this is the one and only source people are using for gathering intel!

What do you mean, if it’s true?

The Pink Ladies went to this woman’s house, filmed the interaction, shared it with Yaxley Lennon who shared it among his followers. Now she is receiving death threats. The matter is with the Police.

What hypocrites these Pink Ladies are, pretending to stand for the protection of women and children and then deliberately putting a woman and her two children at risk.

Out of control. Sad.

If he has found Jesus, why is he ignoring the messages
'Blessed are the Peacemakers'
'And the greatest of these is Charity'
'Love thy neighbour as thyself'???

Is it 'understandable' Galaxy, to do everything in their power, if that includes doxxing an innocent family???

Danny Tommo is against violence and yes I know he has a criminal record but he's found Jesus and surely everyone deserves a second chance and he tells his group of patriots that they must cause no trouble and they haven't been charged with anything to my knowledge (what I've seen on.Youtube) and no I'm not a member of Patriots Platform. I think ordinary people should be allowed to protest and I agree that Face masks shouldn't be allowed because we should be able to see people's faces so I support a face mask ban for everyone.

I find I amazing you’ve taken such time to not only research Thomas Daniel, but to actively stick up for him, yet you don’t appear to have been able to find any reports online about the violence HIS members have caused.

Absolutely support “peaceful protest”, and freedom of speech, despite accusations to the latter.

Perhaps you need to “research” further.

These Patriot Platform members have protested thus far in two locations, they were not “peaceful” in either area.

In one of them they disrupted local traffic.

In the other they were aggressive and police officers and their cars were attacked.

It’s extremely hard to arrest someone when you do not know their identity.

Dressing all in black, covering their faces with black balaclavas and all being make.

Not in the least bit intimidating.

*Patriot Platform (UK Far-Right Activist Group)If you are referring to the newly formed British anti-migrant group Patriot Platform, the damage is related to civil unrest, infrastructure disruption, and localized property
damage:

Infrastructure Paralyzation: Led by activist Danny Tommo, the group organized massive, masked demonstrations that blocked major roadways at the Port of Dover and in Portsmouth, creating miles of traffic jams and disrupting essential freight and ferry infrastructure.

Property Damage: During the demonstrations in Portsmouth, regional police and coastguard vehicles were damaged, several police officers were injured by flying objects, and local community members reported feeling highly intimidated.*

Several media outlets, including the BBC and The Independent have reported that these men resembled “mobs”, have already intimidated local residents and their leader, Daniel Thomas,(former bodyguard of Yaxley-Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson), is quoted as saying this is your warning.

It’s fine if you truly believe these are the actions of a reformed character, who has “done his time” and “found God”.

I certainly do not!

3 people have already been arrested, at least 6 others are being sought, all in connection with injuries received by 7 police officers in Portsmouth.

It wasnt aimed at you cossy it was a general point. Of course they are going to object to this development, including the woman who was filmed as far as I understand.
They are trying everything in their power, which is perfectly understandable.

Oh excellent Piddington is now far right, that didnt take long.
