Reform UK leader Nigel Farage slammed the “disgusting” events in Kent this morning, describing it as “wrong at every level”.
Holidaymakers and lorries were stuck in huge queues for hours as they battled to access the UK’s busiest ferry port during the anti-migrant rally.
Kent Police monitored the march but said no one was arrested – and the group had been dispersed by midday.
