Dover protest disrupts port as council cites slow police response
TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of masked protesters blocked roads into the Port of Dover for hours in an apparently well-organised demonstration; Dover District Council leader Kevin Mills criticized police for arriving slowly, saying the disruption affected travelers and the port. Kent Police reported no arrests and described the event as spontaneous. Ministers condemned the behaviour, and the protest was linked by Hope Not Hate to the Patriot Platform network, with some far-right figures praising it online.
