Far-right groups 'hijacking' demonstrations against asylum plans at RAF Scampton

[Social Media]

 

Far-right groups are increasingly influencing and even hijacking anti-migrant protests across the UK, including demonstrations against asylum plans at RAF Scampton. Exclusive figures analyzed by Sky News reveal a significant uptick in anti-immigrant protests, with a staggering 13-fold increase in public demonstrations.

 

 

The situation at RAF Scampton illustrates how local concerns about asylum seeker housing have become battlegrounds for broader nationalist agendas. Sarah Carter, a local protester, describes encountering organized far-right groups attempting to co-opt their cause. Tensions escalated, leading to fights and regular police interventions, with Sarah and her husband allegedly being assaulted by individuals wearing balaclavas.

 

 

The rise in anti-migrant protests is a cause for concern, as it reflects a growing confidence among far-right groups. These groups exploit local grievances to promote their extremist views, often leading to divisions within communities and undermining the legitimacy of legitimate concerns.

 

 

According to data provided by Hope not Hate, there were 275 anti-migrant events in 2023, compared to 116 events the previous year. Patriotic Alternative, a far-right organization, emerged as a prominent organizer of public demonstrations, accounting for 18% of all recorded demonstrations. This surge in far-right activity signifies a disturbing trend towards the mainstreaming of extremist rhetoric and tactics.

 

 

The normalization of far-right language, both online and in mainstream discourse, contributes to the escalating tensions surrounding immigration issues. Politicians, including former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, have been criticized for echoing far-right slogans such as "End the Invasion," perpetuating divisive rhetoric that fuels anti-immigrant sentiments.

 

 

As the Conservative Party faces pressure from the right in an election year, the implications of this rise in far-right influence remain uncertain. However, the situation at RAF Scampton underscores the complex interplay between local grievances and national politics, highlighting the need for vigilant monitoring of extremist activity and proactive measures to combat the spread of hate and intolerance.

Scampton has a long history of hosting refugees.

 

Polish, Belgian, French, Dutch refugee airmen served at Scampton during WW2.

 

Some never left and are buried in local graveyards.

Illegal immigrants are IMO a scourge on whatever country is taking them.

 

IMO it's is the duty of any person that loves their country to protest against any attempt to allow them to be stay, be fed, housed and given hospital treatment if citizens are not getting the same rights.

Why are citizens living on the street while criminals are getting stuff for free from the taxpayer?

The proposal is to house asylum seekers at Scampton.

 

There is nothing illegal about being an asylum seeker.

 

Citizens are living on the streets because of 14 years of Tory austerity and a failure to build anywhere near the number of houses the nation needs.

 

Asylum seekers are not criminals.

 

There are indeed illegal immigrants, nobody is objecting to their deportation, it is the Government who have cut funding to the clearance of their claims and it is the Government who has failed to identify illegals and deport them.

So if a stand is taken regarding the above. Then that is "far right"  Not quite.

Surely that depends on ‘the stand taken’.

 

I was in Scampton  and Brattleby villages a few times last summer. Apart from a poster up in the local bus stop I saw nothing that resembled any kind of protest.

There was a banner on the church fence of the Church at Scampton, ‘Mathew 25; 31-40’ but I think that might go right over the head of the current mob ranting around the village.

Sorry, I was joust pointing out the historical fact that Scampton has a long and proud history of welcoming refugees.

 

You should go, the graveyard at the local church is instructive.

They don't need to protest "we will not be replaced". Don't worry: if I have some worthless thing, I just dispose of it but surely don't replace it. Same goes for them

[quake]

Good, every little bit helps.

The asylum farce is out of control in the uk.

The main point of historical note is that Scampton was the home of the famous 617 Squadron, RAF - the Dambusters. More recently the Red Arrows were based there. The MoD wants to close Scampton but others want to see the base and museum retained as a heritage centre. 

 

Sky News are just pushing this far-right nonsense out of all proportion. The photo in the story with the most people in it is not anywhere near Scampton!

It’s a big base, the housing isn’t near the hangers or operational buildings and was not in any case built until long after the dam-busters had left.

 

There’s absolutely no reason why the hangers and operational buildings can’t be used as a museum regardless of how the housing is used.

"Far Right" is just a catch all phrase that Wokies use to discredit normal people who want to enforce reasonable immigration policies and protect their borders. People who want to see their own citizens cared for, you know, the ones who paid into the system all their lives. 

 

They don't object to countries like Thailand doing it. In fact they often scream the loudest when a foreigner is caught without a visa or committing crime in Thailand. But when the same action is called for in Europe or America it's all the fault of the "far right". 

 

They claim to hate intolerance, but defend it when it comes from a certain religious or minority group. In the name of diversity of course, because that's our greatest strength (according to them).

 

The hypocrisy is both astounding and amusing. 😆

It’s also a term being used by Gove in identifying extremist groups, so nothing woke about that Jonny.

   There is a connection between the housing shortage and immigration .

That was a reason why the UK voted for Brexit , all the available Council housing was going to newly arrived immigrants from Eastern Europe (Who had more children that British families and were thus in greater need of a council house)

this Nick is known as scapegoating immigrants.

 

There was a housing shortage when the Tories came to power 14 years ago.

 

They’ve made it worse.

 

They’ve also failed to clear bogus asylum seekers and deport them.

 

So now in 2024 they come up with the bright idea of using empty housing at Scampton, while seemingly missing the housing that has laid empty at RAF Kirton-in-Lindsey these past 14 years.

 

#transam will know the rather enjoyable cycle route from Lincoln, through Scampton, Aisthorpe, Brattleby and on to Kirton-in-Lyndsey, along which and not far from are numerous deserted military housing estates. And of course a wonderful view over the Trent Valley.

He's just feeding the cows. These two "groups" are so small as to be irrelevant. Hardly any recent serious activity from either. 

 

The excerpt (below) from the UK Police, is about Patriotic Alternative, which is supposed to be the bigger group

 

 The overall impact of PA protests has been low, with very few instances of criminality and serious disruption reported at their events, the exception being counter protest and tensions between left wing protesters which contributed to a higher risk and policing concern associated with events. This is unlikely to change in the short term as the groups attempts to appeal to local communities, and dissociate from violence and criminality.

 

 Attendance at events was reported to be low to moderate, with between 50 to 100 persons at the majority of events, with sporadic interest in anti-immigration issues bolstering numbers, this included attendance from local groups and residents attending events in their area.

Meanwhile the Cenotaph gets defaced and Big Ben needs backing disco music.

 

In the meantime....save Scampton!

The connection is tenuous to say the least. The availability of social housing has been on a downward trend for decades.

 

To suggest that, pre-Brexit, "all available council housing was going to Eastern European immigrants" is ridiculous and factually incorrect; over 90% of those in social housing are British or Irish. If people voted for Brexit in the belief that the availability of social housing would increase, they were misguided and/or sold yet another pup.

   Yes, you are correct , I didn't literally mean that ALL the available Council houses were going to Eastern Europeans , I did mean quite a lot of Council Houses were going to Eastern Europeans . 

   Thanks for pointing that out

You're welcome but I'm afraid that you are still incorrect.

 

11% of UK social housing was rented by 'White Other' (not British or Irish) which is hardly "quite a lot". (Note: I think that it's reasonable to assume that almost all East European migrants are white).

   As there's about 4 million council homes , 11 % would be 400 000 Councils homes given to Eastern Europeans  , and that is quite a lot .

   400 000 properties is quite a lot

A housing requirement that could have been filled in the past 14 years but was not.

Certainly the tax receipts from 400,000 immigrant households could have helped pay for building more houses.
