For far too long, people like myself and the residents of communities such as Dover and Portsmouth have witnessed the growing threat of intimidation by organised groups of masked men, parading through our streets under the guise of the Patriot Platform. These relentless anti-migrant demonstrations have not only created fear and chaos but have also disrupted the daily lives of countless individuals who reside in these areas.

Our ferry workers, lorry drivers, local businesses, tourists, and families have found themselves ensnared by these confrontational acts, which are anything but peaceful. Every demonstration involves police officers and emergency workers who face obstructions and disruptions while trying to maintain order and ensure public safety. It is a situation that affects us all—those who work, live, or travel through these communities, and those who strive to protect us.

The Patriot Platform's activities raise serious and pressing concerns. As citizens, we deserve to know if this group meets the necessary threshold to be classified as a terrorist organisation. This isn't just an issue of law and order; it is about protecting our communities and ensuring that every individual can walk the streets without fear of harassment or violence.

We urge Parliament to take immediate action by instructing the relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate the actions and intents of the Patriot Platform. Our goal is to determine whether this group poses a significant threat that warrants their proscription as a terror organisation. This is about safeguarding our communities and our way of life from extremism.

It's time for us to demand accountability. Let us stand together to uphold the values of safety, peace, and harmony in our communities. Sign this petition to require Parliament to initiate a full investigation into the Patriot Platform and take necessary measures to eliminate the threat posed by such groups.
