A protest in Portsmouth against the arrival of 120 migrants in a small boat led to disorder, with police officers injured and vehicles damaged. The Policing Minister condemned the incident as 'intimidating and thuggish' and warned those involved in illegal actions would face legal consequences. The protest followed earlier demonstrations at the Port of Dover, with around 200 people, some wearing masks, confronting police in riot gear. Portsmouth City Council criticized the decision to land the migrants in the area, calling it 'needless disruption.' While no arrests have been made, an investigation is underway to identify those responsible for assaults on officers and property damage. Far-right figures, including Daniel Thomas, livestreamed the event, urging supporters to disrupt migrant transportation. The migrants were eventually moved out of Hampshire for processing.
