I appreciate the sentiment but fucking with dock workers seems like a really great way to get killed

However, overall, they said activists were "successful in their aim to cause significant disruption to trade." They said "many lorry drivers were also supportive, honking and cheering us on."

They added: "This was a coordinated act of solidarity by participants of all ages, from both the PUL and CNR communities and from a variety of ethnic, religious, economic and national backgrounds, all united in our steadfast rejection of the horrors unfolding in Palestine."

Officers from the PSNI and Belfast Harbour Police were in attendance, with no arrests being made.

Most dock workers are union. They can handle a little disruption.
