Why anti-immigration group Patriot Platform blocked Dover port on Saturday
The anti-immigration group Patriot Platform, formed in June from smaller local groups, organised Saturday's protest at Dover port. Patriot Platform founder Daniel Thomas, a far-right social media influencer, mobilised a large group to block roads and chant "stop the boats". The protest caused major disruption for residents and travellers, with police describing it as a "public order incident".
