The Polish Tommy Robinson leading anti-migrant vigilantes

From Swinoujscie on the Baltic coast to Zgorzelec in Silesia, the yellow-vested activists turned out in their hundreds at a dozen border crossings between Poland and Germany.

They peered into car windows for evidence of illicit migrants, conducted periodic “citizen’s arrests” and on at least one occasion flew a drone over German border guards.

With Germany now routinely turning back asylum seekers at the border, the message from the vigilante patrols was frank and uncompromising: if the Polish state would not protect its side of the border, then the Polish people would do it themselves.
