UK PM Denounces 'Politics of Poison' After Anti-Migrant Protests
Thomas says Patriot Platform has 40,000 sign-ups as weekend protests spread from Dover to Portsmouth and prompt government criticism.
- On Saturday and Sunday, Danny Thomas mobilized the Patriot Platform for anti-migrant protests in Dover and Portsmouth, with participants blocking roads and disrupting ferry port access.
- Thomas, a former UKIP figure, launched the Patriot Platform in July 2026 to organize "mass resistance," following a 2016 kidnapping conviction for which he served two years in prison.
- Masked protesters blocked roads in Dover on Saturday, while a separate crowd disrupted Portsmouth's Eastney Landing on Sunday; Kent Police described the Dover event as "spontaneous" despite facing questions about advance warning.
- The government condemned the "intimidating and thuggish behaviour" of protesters in Portsmouth, stating that while "peaceful protest is fundamental to our democracy, it must never cross a line into disorder."
- Thomas claims 40,000 members for his network, which he describes as a "people's army" and the "biggest pushback by Englishmen" since World War Two, though others dispute these membership figures.
