I believe this is the “gentleman” who claims his mother’s address details have been “doxxed” (shared publicly without consent) by the media and insisting that his mother be bought a new house in a different location, for her own safety!
Apparently his Mother's name was discovered when researchers were looking through his details and found her name and address on an official company document. He had made her as executive, or similar.
All his own fault.
He has raised over £60k so far, via a fund raiser for his mother to help her locate to another address from his supporters 🤷♀️
He comes across as very controlling and somewhat manipulative. He can only state he does not plan to be in Portsmouth tomorrow and neither will there be any planned official PP presence?
His PP followers/disciples/supporters/sympathisers are their own persons with their own free will.
He’s a very dangerous young man, who has already got a criminal record, who was “gifted” £30,000 in the last month, directly from one source in the USA to help organise his “protests” with men wearing black clothes and balaclavas.
These are not “protests”, these are anonymous mobs, who at the second “protest” vandalised police cars.
Again, conflicting reports. I read that the protests were peaceful with no trouble. On Facebook there is huge support for the protesters mainly from women.
Where specifically did you read the Portsmouth protesters were peaceful and no trouble?
Do you think the police lied in their published reports of injured officers, damaged police vehicles and the need to get an arrest warrant because the protestors were forming road block that resulted in asylum seekers arrivals being stuck on a bus till 3am unable to be taken to a processing centre?
The Police have now been instructed to ask these masked men to remove their face coverings if they are seen to be 'protesting'.
Police have the power to designate an area "face covering free" but they must make that decision known to potential protesters. Then the protesters have to comply - or move to another area.
If they don't comply they can be arrested and held in all the empty jail cells we don't have, charged with wearing a face covering etc, appear in court, contest it or not (probably saying they didn't know it was a designated area), and get given whatever the penalty is.
That'll work well.

Well I suppose women can also support whoever they want to support, it doesn’t mean they are well informed or less likely to be led by their own prejudices.
And it certainly wasn’t peaceful inasmuch as both the police and RNLI were under attack.
Unless of course the police and RNLI are in cahoots and both lying 🙄
If some women on Facebook want to support violent protesters I guess thats their choice. They also may not be aware of the full detail of the protester's actions and behaviour 🤷♀️

First arrest over anti-migrant protests in Portsmouth - as police say anyone wearing masks could be detained
Police officers were injured and vehicles damaged in an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth, after a boat carrying migrants arrived in the city on Sunday. A 42-year-old man has become the first person to be arrested in connection with anti-migration protests in Portsmouth last weekend, with more arrests expected. Del Leon Somerville, was arrested on Friday morning and has been charged with violent disorder and assaulting a police constable in the execution of their duty. The force said a number of police officers were injured and vehicles damaged during an anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth on Sunday as demonstrators clashed with police after an RNLI boat carrying more than 100 migrants arrived in the city.
The protesters blocked roads leading to the port for hours and vowed to stay all night, with around 200 people being dispersed at around 4am on Monday morning. On Friday the force also announced that officers will use new powers banning face coverings at another anti-migrant protest planned for Portsmouth this weekend. It means mask-wearers could be arrested in the area designated by the order. Hampshire Police said it will use this new tactic under the Crime and Policing Act to "allow peaceful protest and prevent violence".
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Bartolomeo, of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, said: "We have listened to the concerns of our communities and know how intimidated they feel when they see masked groups descend on their neighbourhoods. "This is why we are making use of these new policing powers, to ensure we have every tactic at our disposal, should we need it."
