Today’s demo in Faversham was rowdier than expected - no police presence in the town centre at first until a while later. Couple hundred or so each side but counter protesters did seem to be a larger group
I wrote a long-ish piece on small boats and illegal immigration, the history of it, and how it ended up being the central political issue of the past decade

Union flags rather than St George’s ones in Rochester this morning, though allegedly part of the same phenomenon
Black and white rendition of the Tea Party flag, flying outside of the (very nice) White Horse pub in Chilham. No idea how recently it was put up, but indicates a certain feeling among fractions of the rural British middle class I think

An earlier than usual episode this week, where we speak to former Kent MP Adam Holloway, who has defected from the @Conservatives to @reformparty_uk
Self-declared presidents of unrecognised countries are often burly generals on grainy televisions with armed entourages. I interviewed one who’s a 20 year-old game designer in Dover, and wrote about what it says about the decline of nation-statehood: kentonline.co.uk/dover/news/the…
I wrote a little sketch of the scene at the protest I went to on Saturday: ft. an awkward vignette with local councillors, a swastika birthday cake, and my thoughts how the centre-left and centre-right relate to more radical currents

Total turnout of maybe 300 - not quite the national protest the organisers were hoping for. No real tension or violence either, and no sign of a counter protest that I’ve seen as yet, it’s winding down now
