'This Government condemns the intimidating and thuggish behaviour shown by some of the protesters this weekend.' Policing Minister Sarah Jones has addressed the protests in Dover and Portsmouth over illegal migration into the UK. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

Utter rubbish. Not a single protestor was wearing all black and face masks for the first few hours of the protests until very late in the evening when 20/30 turned up. How can they just lie like this. I was on the ground reporting from 4pm - 3am and it just didn’t happen.

Antifa and Palestine marches are far worse and aggressive but nothing is done about that totally fine

The British people condemn this @UKLabour government and demand an election from @andyburnham we don’t vote for him, nobody did

Lying bitch.

Did Sarah Jones condemn gangs of Muslim thugs in the streets of London?

Worried family's are not far right thugs it's labour who are the people smugglers funding the mass rape and murder

"Thuggish", the new spin word. Nobody knows what it precisely means. Which, in practice, means the government can throw the word at anybody it does not agree with, much like the much-vaunted "far right"

I'm listening to this and I'm sick of MPs referring to British people as far-right thugs. They never refer to the Stop Oil lot as far-left thugs. Will Labour never learn? #Portsmouth

Is this the name of the "gangs"?

I cant belive what I have heard. Cannot believe the absolute brass neck of this woman. Those men who came into Portsmouth are now in the International hotel in London. There is film of them getting off the coach. If you didn't know who they were you would say they were an army. All fit young men. All well fed and groomed. All dressed the same. All holding a folder. Every single one of them. Not one older man or disabled or over weight man. This Government are very close to pushing the people over the edge. They keep talking about gangs. These men are being recruited. They are not paying to get here. This is being orchestrated and this Government are complicit. They should be making people feel secure and that they agree we don't want these men. But not one word. Not one word to show empathy, just threats. They can't read the mood of this country. They couldnt read the room if it was on fire. They have forgotten who they work for! The people! This was an opportunity to show who they suppprt. They have shown us. They have failed.

Think she's been watching a bit too much Miami Vice with that get up

This government will do anything for anyone apart from the British people

Any evidence of any thuggish behaviour? If MPs like her do not tackle the immigration issue, the people have no choice. We have reached the end of our tether. Next stop a national strike, if not civil war.

"THUGISH" there's that word again - MSM & MP's are all liars ........

@EleanorBigby There's a new buzz word again. 'thuggish' These fuckers must be on drugs.

More lies from a Government with no mandate. @LabourSJ is a clown that shouldn't be in office, just like her party.

Ah so, Labour are only ok when Islamists dressed in black & all masked-up go on the march. When white folk do it, they're outraged.

Does anyone know if they have addressed the 500 arrests for sexual offences and stabbings during the carnival? Or the demonstrations that have been taking place every Saturday? They always have a problem with people demonstrating about immigrants,but everything else is fine.

There was no thuggery and intimidation at Portsmouth yesterday. Yesterday’s protests were peaceful, carried out by ordinary British citizens desperately worried by the uncontrolled invasion of their country by thousands of unidentified males from uncivilised, unfriendly countries.

The enemy of the people the government is the real ‘gang’ that facilitates the trafficking of humans is condemned by patriots around the country - bringing in criminals and much worse …. Shame on you & fuck your narrative 🙏🏼🇬🇧

Do they condemn these as thuggish behaviour then??

How come Brits will feel the full force of the law but if you arrive here illegally you are given new clothes, money, phone and somewhere to stay and freedom to roam and do as you wish?

Yet again this Labour government puts normal people into that ‘far right’ category! This behaviour from our government is absolutely unacceptable!

Yet Stop Oil,Palestinian and stand up racism get free ride This government needs resign they not in power putting people interests They lost the electorate

@UKLabour, thuggish? I didn’t see any thuggish behaviour, just concerned citizens, however you seem less concerned about invaders raping 14 year old kids, you’re very selective with who you’re directing your outrage at, unlike you our vision is 20-20 when we spot a traitor.

Theres nothing thugish or intimidating about them , what is intimidating and thugish is thousands of illegal immigrants invading the country

Despite what Number 10 may claim, Portsmouth was not intimidation or thuggery. It was a peaceful gathering born of love for our nation, communities and the people who call Britain home. Those present stood with pride, hope and a sincere desire to protect the country they cherish.

The police and crime commissioner said, earlier today, that the government has lost control of its borders. She also said that the almost all of the protestors cooperated with the police, and did not break the law. So.

The people of the UK condem you

Intimidating and thuggish are the parroted narrative of all the loony lefts crash out! It’s Amazing how they all say the same trigger words init!

Did they condemn Antifa? pro Palestinian and Islamic marches calling for death to Jews and others?

You putting people in prison for social media posts and you’re putting illegal immigrants on the street rapists on the street How does this make any sense to you?

Don’t listen to this traitor. We’re being invaded, and every means of defence is legitimate.
