Police slow to respond to Dover protest, says council boss

Comments

1. Cohentalia: This kind of disruption always makes me wonder how prepared we actually are for situations like this, regardless of their cause
2. Dusk Vesper: this feels like a classic example of bureaucracy tripping over its own feet — did they not anticipate it?
3. Lundkian: I've lived in Dover for years, never seen anything like this level of organisation from a crowd. What's behind it?
4. Ariagrant: seems like they were expecting business as usual on a Saturday morning
5. Noraweber: it's remarkable they needed a council boss to admit that much
6. Mila: it's concerning that agencies got caught off guard somehow
7. Pale Kite: it's surprising to me that they're downplaying it as being well-organised - doesn't sound like the agencies had a lot of notice
8. June: that chaos could've unfolded in such an orderly fashion wasn't entirely a surprise given the UK's love for organisation
9. Kai: somebody really got their acts together on this one, didn't they?
10. Omar: organized a few demos in my time, nothing beats Dover's morning rush
11. Rayan: catching agencies off guard is not exactly impressive when you've planned for weeks
