Thousands of protesters, including bikers and activists, gathered peacefully in Dover on Sunday to demand tougher action on illegal migration, declaring “enough’s enough”.
Organised by groups like Kent Motor Heads Events, the protest aimed to “stop the boats” bringing migrants across the Channel, with participants waving Union Jacks and emphasising the demonstration was non-political and non-racist.
Reform UK’s Dover and Deal chairman, Paul King, described widespread public frustration over government inaction, while police maintained a visible presence amid expectations of counter-protests. The rally followed record migrant arrivals in recent weeks, further fuelling public anger.
“There’s a great feeling of disenfranchisement of the general populace that they do the right thing, pay their taxes, and then don’t get anything,” King told media.
