#PooleUK #OldLifeboatMuseum shuts after #AntiMigrantProtesters target volunteers
by Indy Almroth-Wright, 11 September 2026
"A lifeboat museum says it has been forced to close after its volunteers were targeted by anti-migrant protesters.
"Poole Old Lifeboat Museum said it made the decision after several incidents of 'protesters verbally assaulting our volunteers'.
"Protesters gathered in the Dorset town after about 140 migrants arrived in a single dinghy that had crossed the English Channel, prompting a major anti-migrant demonstration in Portsmouth on Sunday.
"After lifeboats took 120 migrants intercepted off the Isle of Wight to Eastney in Langstone Harbour, some crew members were targeted by protesters, with their photos and names shared in posts on social media accusing them of treason."

#BorderPatrol Wants Advanced #AI to #Spy on American Cities
A U.S. Border Patrol “Industry Day” deck also asks for #drones, seismic sensors, and tech that can see through walls.
by Sam Biddle
July 23 2025Excerpt: "U.S. Customs and Border Protection, flush with billions in new funding, is seeking 'advanced AI' technologies to surveil urban residential areas, increasingly sophisticated #autonomous systems, and even the ability to see through walls.
"A CBP presentation for an 'Industry Day' summit with private sector vendors, obtained by The Intercept, lays out a detailed wish list of tech CBP hopes to purchase, like satellite connectivity for #SurveillanceTowers along the #border and improved radio communications. But it also shows that state-of-the-art, AI-augmented surveillance technologies will be central to the Trump administration’s #AntiImmigrant campaign, which will extend deep into the interior of the North American continent, hundreds of miles from international borders as commonly understood.
"The recent passage of Trump’s sprawling flagship legislation funnels tens of billions of dollars to the #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity. While much of that funding will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to bolster the administration’s arrest and deportation operations, a great deal is earmarked to purchase new technology and equipment for federal offices tasked with preventing immigrants from arriving in the first place: Customs and Border Protection, which administers the country’s border surveillance apparatus, and its subsidiary, the U.S. Border Patrol.
"One page of the presentation, describing the wishlist of Border Patrol’s Law Enforcement Operations Division, says the agency needs '#AdvancedAI to identify and track suspicious activity in urban environment [sic],' citing the 'challenges' posed by 'Dense residential areas.' What’s considered '#SuspiciousActivity' is left unmentioned.
Customs and Border Protection did not respond to questions posed about the slides by The Intercept."Read more:

At least 200,000 protesters rally in Munich against #FarRight #AfD ahead of German election
February 8, 2025
MUNICH, Germany (AP) — "More than 200,000 protesters rallied in Munich, Germany, on Saturday against #FarRightExtremism ahead of the country’s #GeneralElection.
"The far-right, #AntiImmigrant #AlternativeForGermany, or AfD, is in second place in recent polls and has prompted widespread protests across the country before voters cast their ballots on #February23.
"The protest at Munich’s Theresienwiese — where Oktoberfest takes place each year — brought a significantly larger crowd than expected, according to the German dpa news agency. The event’s organizer estimated the crowd could be up to 320,000 people, many of whom carried signs against the AfD with slogans like, '#Racism and #hatred is not an alternative.'
"The protest was supported by #ActivistGroups as well as the #MunichFilmFestival, #churches and Munich soccer clubs FC Bayern and TSV 1860, among others. Police told dpa that the demonstration was peaceful.

NEO-NAZIS ACCUSED IN LONDON RIOTS
July 5, 1981
New York Times[...] "The trouble apparently began when two busloads of #skinheads arrived in #Southall, not far from Heathrow Airport, for a rock concert given by a skinhead group in the Hambrough pub.
"Southall has a large #Indian and #Pakistani population, and the skinheads have provided many recruits for the #whitesupremacist #NationalFront organization.
"Many Britons were shocked today as they watched television, waiting for the start of the men's Wimbledon tennis final, to see film of a pitched battle in the London streets, with fire engines and police vans burning along with buildings.
"The police said they had no evidence that the white youths were members of the National Front, a small extremist group that has been accused of #neonazism but local officials said they were sure that the front was involved.
"'The skinheads were wearing National Front gear, #swastikas everywhere, and National Front written on their jackets,' said a spokesman for the Southall Youth Association. 'They sheltered behind the police barricades and threw stones at the crowd. Instead of arresting them, the police just pushed them back. It's not surprising people started to retaliate."

The British Asians who fought #fascism in the seventies
#BlairPeach’s death 40 years ago followed the killing of a schoolboy – two murders that ignited an #AntiRacist struggle.
By Gouri Sharma
23 Apr 2019London, United Kingdom – "On a sunny Saturday in June 1976, teenager Suresh Grover was in Southall chatting with a friend outside the Dominion Cinema when he noticed a police officer standing next to a pool of blood.
"'I asked him, ‘Did somebody die there?' Grover told Al Jazeera. 'And he turned to me and said ‘It’s just Indian blood’. He was very rude and left the scene soon after. I was shocked – this was an officer saying it was just Indian blood and not of equal worth.'
"The blood had flowed from the body of #GurdipSinghChaggar.
"The 18-year-old student was killed the night before in a racist attack in the west #London district, which had recently become home to a large #SouthAsian population, particularly from India’s northern #Punjab state.
"Grover, now 62, said: 'The next day we went to the police station, surrounded it, made speeches and #Southall came to a standstill. By the end of the afternoon around 5,000 people – men, women, #Asians, #AfroCaribbeans – had gathered in a show of #unity, #solidarity and defiance. It was the first time this sort of protest had happened and it had a profound impact on Southall. That day, the #SouthallYouthMovement was born.”
