A far-right group that started going to Calais to hassle asylum seekers seemsto have fallen out. They’ve also managed to get banned by the French government after swastika graffiti started appearing everywhere. Incredible work, boys.
The group named itself Operation Overlord after the D-Day landings. An operation in which US and British troops spent a good few days killing people who shared virtually the exact political views of these chicken nugget-brained man-babies. This lot were – note, WERE – closely tied to Operation Raise the Colours. Yes, the flags-on-lamp-posts people. The Overlord group started up in 2024. Their modus operandi was to strut around French beaches making macho content.
The Guardian reported that fascist graffiti started appearing not long after the far-right group did:
a hangman’s noose with a figure dangling next to the word “migrant” and, close by, another daubing: a Jewish Star of David painted in black surrounded by red swastikas.
Their operation appears to have had zero affect on the numbers of people trying to get to the UK:
with more than 41,000 crossing the Channel in 2025, the second highest annual figure since crossings began in 2018.
This is despite asking online for a bucket list of equipment:
stab-proof vests, plate carriers, high-powered torches, thermal cameras, drones and encrypted radios
It is not clear if they got any of it. Naturally these turkey-teethed parasites tried to recruit ex-soldiers as part of their embarrassing cosplay:
One man who said he was ex-army posted a call on Facebook to “ex-squaddies” to go and patrol the French beaches 24/7.
Jesus Christ, lads.
Far-right banned from France
They did manage to get banned from France though. The French interior ministry said:
territorial bans were issued against 10 British nationals, identified as activists within the movement and having carried out actions on French soil.
Our rule of law is non-negotiable. Violent and hate-inciting tactics have no place in our territory.
Frankly pathetic effort, fellas.
Refugee NGOs lamented how snivellingly pathetic the far-right group was – don’t we all though. French solidarity group Utopia 56 said:
This is what comes from normalising the extreme right’s rhetoric, a visible, unapologetic, unabashed hatred.
Lachlan Macrae, of the group Calais Food Collective, painted an absolutely mortifyingly embarrassing picture of these blithering idiots:
They come with bulletproof vests and they go on to the beaches. They’ve been harassing people and streaming this content. As the ground is ceded to the far right, the far right has grown in response. Far-right groups in Calais are the norm now.
Insert face-palm emoji here.
Fell out after about five minutes
Typically, the far-right group seem to have fallen out with each other pretty quickly. The Guardian reported that lead organiser Daniel Thomas had “parted company” with Raise the Colours:
Thomas continues to organise around action to “stop the boats” using the title Operation Overlord, prompting Raise the Colours to rename its northern France activities Operation Stop the Boats. They do not appear to have parted on good terms.
Piss-up in a brewery, etc. That said Britain’s finest still managed to sabotage water tanks put out for asylum seekers, the Guardian said.
The various groups all say they’re going to carry on, apparently despite not being able to bear the sight of each other. Aye right, lads. Maybe go home and try to really reflect on why your kids won’t talk to you instead of LARPing around French beaches like a bunch of massive wetties on TRT whose hairlines are so far back they’re still listening to Oasis the first time round.
All the best xx.
