Yes Cossy, the Leaders of countries suffering under repressive regimes deserve our condemnation, not the citizens who are suffering.

Principality of Piddington
(312 Posts)No surprise that their symbolic referendum returned a vote to leave the UK. It won't make one jot of difference but it doesn't hurt to let AB know how strongly some people feel about the imminent arrival of 1,500 migrants on the doorstep of a village with 350 inhabitants.
AB has said there needs to be fairness in where these migrants are housed and says the boat arrivals are at a 7 year low. Boy, is he missing the point. Reduced boat arrivals or not, what many people are appalled at is the length of time it takes to vet those already here and the areas chosen for them to live while they wait are often inappropriate.
I really feel for the Piddington residents, especially women and young girls.
Galaxy, not 'kindness', but 'legality' is what we should give asylum seekers.

Oreo I think it would be slighter fairer to say that leaders and governments of certain countries certainly should be criticised, faith or no faith, not necessarily the those living in those countries facing atrocities.
Unless…the majority of those living in that country support the views of the government there or the leaders.
But actually you know, we are free to criticise who we like on this forum.

And they get legality here.
Oreo, not if Reform gets their way.
What about those masked men, of fighting age, some of whom are convicted criminals, invading areas with immigration facilities.
What about preventing the RNLI form operating.
At least doxxing is about to become illegal.
Oh dear! Empathy I felt for Piddington is slowly decreasing.
The Pink Ladies showed up in the village.
One of the villagers, who was very angry at another villager, a woman originally from NZ, married to a Caribbean, who has lived in this village for 20 years and spoke out against support for their recent referendum, so said villager gave out both her name and address to the Pink Ladies, who immediately shared it on social media.
This isn’t free speech, nor is it democracy.
In addition, the vile Danny Tommo is also planning a visit. Now this poor woman doesn’t feel safe in her own home, fears for her husband and children.
Someone should be having a chat with Piddington parish councillor (since January 2026) Joe Marshall. His date of birth in Companies House records is 2000 so he’s all of 26.
He says following the “referendum”: Ultimately we’re not going to be culturally any different from Britain.
Perhaps someone should explain to him that Britain has long been multi-cultural.
He also said a meeting was being held with the far-right group Patriot Platform so we can open a dialogue.
About what? Nobody should be entering into a dialogue with these thugs.
If he’s an incomer, perhaps he doesn’t know that in 2007, MOD Bicester Garrison had 2,600 personnel of whom 1100 were military staff and 1500 civilians. They will have been free to come and go. There is still an active military presence on the site albeit smaller.
Next door is HMP Bullingdon which houses over 1,000 male prisoners. They are confined of course, but there will be prison visitors and other people who service the prison coming and going on a regular basis.

Those Pink Ladies, didn't their 'Leader' do time for child abuse?
Oh excellent Piddington is now far right, that didnt take long.
Doxing as defined by the CPS involves the malicious publication of personal identifying information, such as home addresses, with the intent to harass, silence, or threaten individuals.
Protection from Harassment Act 1997 : If doxing leads to targeted harassment, stalking, or alarm and distress, offenders can be prosecuted. Penalties range up to 6 months to 5 years in prison and/or unlimited fines, depending on whether the charge involves simple harassment or putting a victim in fear of violence.
Police need to be arresting the Pink Ladies who have been harassing this woman at her home and online.
If it’s true of course
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.
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.

That’s not what I’ve stated and I think you actually know that!
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.

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.

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

Out of control. Sad.

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