Let's head back across the pond and talk about "asylum-seekers" washing up on the shores of Great Britain. The Guardian has taken a moral stance against posting to X ever since Elon Musk came into possession of it, but someone posted a couple of quotes that got my attention. It made me remember back to July, when I reported that three migrants were found dead on a boat that was crossing the English Channel. All three just happened to be women who were determined to have suffered heart attacks. Yeah, a lot of people didn't buy that. So when I saw a post claiming U.K. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had said that nearly every woman arriving in a small boat had been raped, it caught my attention.
🚨NEW: Speaking in an interview, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has claimed that nearly every woman arriving by small boat has been raped "You can almost guarantee that every woman in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey" [@guardian]

@GBPolitcs @guardian Who by? The men she's importing into our country daily?

No, of course not. By human traffickers. "You can almost guarantee that every woman that’s in the north of France has probably been raped along the journey. Some of the men too, they’ve certainly been abused and threatened. That is not the model that should decide whether somebody gets to come to the UK, make this their place of sanctuary and ultimately become one of us," she said. That's probably why she said the other day that she was restarting the refugee resettlement program, so that there would be safe routes for asylum-seekers who were sponsored by NGOs, charities, and universities. She made it clear in the same interview that it was the British far-right that was the real problem. The Guardian reports:
Asked by [Alastair] Campbell about balaclava-wearing protesters shutting down ports and praising her policies, she said they should “sod off”.
She added: “They’re just troublemakers. You know, they’d kill me in a minute if they could, and they’d definitely kick me out of my own country. So let’s just be really clear about who and what they are. They don’t think I’m a true Brit and they hate the fact that I’m a Muslim.”
Mahmood also said she considered herself “part of the pro-Palestinian cause” and felt “very uncomfortable” over the arrests of activists opposing the ban imposed on Palestine Action.
Speaking of all those protesters shutting down ports, there was quite a lot of buzz this weekend around the town of Gosport. It seems a boat full of asylum-seekers was set to arrive, and the town was locked down so those troublemakers couldn't make a scene.
🚨We are now in a place where a whole town gets locked down by the Government for a boat that has not arrived…. Gosport. Haslar Bridge shut. Coaches at Fort Blockhouse. Masks banned. A dispersal order on the entire town until 7am Tuesday. Anyone who wants to stand there is sent to a car park. If not you’re threatened with arrest.. The boat is still in French waters. The government will not even say this is the landing. Last time, they took the people to Dover.

🚨 82,000 PEOPLE. THE WHOLE TOWN OF GOSPORT UNDER A DISPERSAL ORDER UNTIL TUESDAY. Hampshire Police have placed the whole town of Gosport under a Section 34 dispersal order. So that unchecked undocumented men can be brought into the country facilitated by the government. The order remains in place until 7am on Tuesday 6 October. 82,000 people. An entire town under extraordinary police powers. And this is becoming normal in Britain. Absolutely outrageous. #Gosport #SmallBoats #IllegalMigration #Britain

These are the lengths the British govt is going to in order to bring in boatloads if illegal immigrants. There is no normal universe in which this makes sense. The rate at which the country is being flooded with people who mostly do not speak English and many of whom have no formal education beyond the basics/high school or skills training and limited professional qualifications, makes no sense for any society. This is not to build up Britain - this is designed to tear it down and remake acc to the New World Order. The absolute morons in Britain who still think this is about being humane and kind and all that bollocks are literally just cannon fodder for the globalists. I do not know how British people sleep at night, knowing that while you are resting, your enemies are landing on the beaches and taking your towns & cities, one boatload at a time.

🚨Gosport locked down so a migrant boat can land Police have put the entire town under a Section 34 dispersal order until Tuesday morning. Residents can be ordered to leave and not return. Any protest is penned into a car park under Section 14. Face coverings are banned. This is not aimed at the dinghy. It is aimed at the people who live there. Last month hundreds turned out in the same town over a reported landing. Arrests followed. The boat was diverted to Dover. Crossings this year are still in the tens of thousands. The establishment’s answer is to restrict the locals, not the route. Public order law is being used to manage a policy the public never voted for.

HONESTLY look at this video. The resources gone in to bringing in, protecting and securing illegal migrants is astonishing. They have a bigger security motorcade than Trump would have on a visit. This is shocking. In Gosport, Portsmouth Harbour. https://t.co/eYkz5iAQYo

@GauciReports How are the English not fighting this?
— Allnoles (@HMardenborough) October 5, 2026
They — the "far-right" — were fighting it a month ago, when they showed up en masse and blocked the roads carrying buses full of asylum-seekers from the shore to their accommodations inland. But now it seems that the authorities have shut that down and confined anyone who doesn't welcome their new neighbors to a distant parking lot so as not to interfere with the operation.
