I do not have the interest or patience to watch the whole thing so I skimmed through that video, plus the awful language was needless.
What a bunch of idiots whose only plausible reason for being in Dover is publicity, they cause anger and inconvenience to those who live here plus the expense of policing them. F off to the lot of them.
I suppose the upside could be the pub looked busy.

'Far right'? Yup, there will be the usual knuckle heads but how long must we put up with the daily influx without 'middle England' having had enough?

You mean to say that you weren't down there with them? I'd have a though a man of your strong convictions relish the opportunity to make a wider case rather than just fighting from his keyboard.

Different sort of sick person is I suspect the reason for the difference in approach there

Aww. Are woo missing da football?
This government have lost control a bit haven't they? Giving out all of these "guidelines" but not really enforcing them when it comes to events like this one?
Definitely a lot of people purposefully attending a gathering of over thirty people (which I doubt was "licensed" and if it was, whytf?). Peruse the videos, dig out the facial recognition tools and start fining people. They managed it last time after all. (funny how I get all right wing when it comes to the far right, right?)
This lot always remind me of this:

Is he relevant?
Or has he eaten himself yet, can't still have a career surely?

I know of two surgeries that are open in Dover, because I got called for a routine blood pressure and blood test recently and one of the kids works (and "enjoys" way too much foul language) in the other. BTW, doctors are not dentists - an extremely common misconception in Dover it seems.

PS: the demonstrators would've been more numerous had it not been for our MP's appeal to them to stay away:
"I am grateful that many hundreds of expected protestors on both sides heeded my call to stay away."
Phew, close shave! Jolly lucky so many people take notice of her, I reckon.

The guy in that video is basically a homeless guy from Lancashire, who lives in the hostel (Backpackers). So made me laugh last night when some mob beamed a refugees welcome notice on the cliffs by the hostel.
Don't like how easy it is for migrants to waltz in and live, unchallenged with no real right to be here.
The demo looked piss poor on both sides.

For a routine that covers all of time?
I think it's totally relevant. And possibly always will be. That this island has had constant immigration. And has been constantly "invaded". Some peoples idea of "history" is ridiculously short term.
And to answer your second point.
His career is on the rise. I used to see him at The Gulbenkian. This year he sold out two nights at The Marlowe. The second of which unfortunately became one of the first cancellations of lockdown.
(After the football of course. I still think it's really telling that the FA called gatherings "too risky, just no, we don't want to inadvertently kill (our) industry and the very people that fund us" before the government did).
emoticons because I may get taken too seriously otherwise.

I'd think about the implications of that, RM. It's a dangerous move to characterise a political opinion or attitude as a mental illness, however disagreeable you may find it. Check out the 'dissidents' in Soviet psychiatric hospitals, or Drapetomania and ODD in the US. It's creeping into 'official' thinking over here: The Times recently gave front page space to a piece about 'research' that labelled people who refuse to wear masks 'sociopaths'. You don't want to go down that road; it's a long way back.
