Port of Dover brought to a standstill

Just after 1pm, below the white cliffs of Dover, Nigel Marcham offered his take on one of the summer’s most potent symbols. “Take a knee for the brethren of this F***ing country,” Marcham screamed into his megaphone.
Around him a ragtag collection of far-right supporters, white nationalists and neo-nazis knelt on the A20 outside Dover’s Eastern Docks. “Thanks for taking a F***ing knee in the proper way,” he said, clearly delighted with his perversion of the global peaceful protest symbol adopted by millions following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Marcham, also known as “The Little Veteran” and an increasingly prominent far-right figure attacking asylum seekers crossing the Channel by boat, had accomplished his aim of shutting down entry into Europe’s busiest ferry port.
Not many among the 400 or so who had assembled on the A20 to stop traffic in both directions could believe their feat. “We did it. We shut Dover. No more illegal immigrants! Now we need to do what Trump says – help your own first, then the others,” said Paul Brockley, 27, from Buckland, north Dover.
By 1.30pm the tailback stretched three miles west outside Dover to the Samphire Hoe nature reserve. In the other direction, lorries and frustrated tourists sat bumper to bumper deep into the port as figures brandishing the flag of St George danced around the stationary vehicles.
From 10am a disparate collection of far-right supporters had gathered in Dover to protest against the Channel boat crossings.
Identified among them were members of the Pie and Mash Squad, football thugs with a nazi following, the fascist Britain First and the anti-Muslim For Britain party. Former Combat 18 and English Defence League supporters were also spotted among the crowd.
Later, with the port blocked, some could be seen waving QAnon flags, the Donald Trump-backed antisemitic conspiracy theory, with others holding banners attacking the Tories for housing “illegal immigrants in 4-star luxury”, a reference to the mid-range hotels where some asylum seekers are being housed under emergency coronavirus measures.
Chants of 10 German bombers, the song associated with English football hooligans, Rule Britannia and “no soft borders” frequently rang out.
Other messages were brazenly racist, reflecting a summer when the UK’s extreme right wing put aside its anti-Islam posturing for a more overt white nationalist stance in response to the international Black Lives Matter protests.
“There is a problem with the black community. The fact is all knife crime is carried out by them. We need a real debate on the black community,” said Robert from Gillingham in Kent, who would not give his last name. His girlfriend nodded vigorously.
 
Did they also break into 'In-ger-land, In-ger-land' In-ger-land', or where they saving that for in front of the Iceland game tonight with their English lager and their English caught fish and England plucked potatoes?!
