What was said
"“we now have workingclass communities actively trying to push back boats. They are so important.”"
Brendan O’Neill claims protests in places including Gosport and Portsmouth have involved local residents attempting to deter small-boat arrivals. He argues this reflects, in his view, a breakdown of the state’s responsibility to control borders, leading to what he calls “poststate vigilantism”.
