WEEKS OF ONLINE HYPE DELIVERS 50 BLOKES, A PUB AND A SPEECH NOBODY COULD HEAR

After weeks of furious online promotion, Dover's 'March Against Illegal Immigration' mustered around 50 activists, who assembled – predictably, says Searchlight – at the Golden Lion pub before speeches nobody could actually hear. One leading light didn't even turn up, being busy hanging banners off an M20 bridge to advertise the next one. Revolution postponed; long drive home confirmed.

THE BORING BIT: WHAT THE REAL REPORT SAYS

A much-hyped 'March Against Illegal Immigration' in Dover on 25 July drew around 50, assembling at the Golden Lion pub, with inaudible speeches; one figurehead was absent, hanging banners from an M20 bridge to promote the next event.

Our short summary of the original – read the full report for context. Everything above it is satire.
