Portsmouth had its taste of disruption, just like Dover did on Saturday. There was a dispersal order, why are they not talking about arrests here? If they'd been protesting about oil or Palestine I think there would have been.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Portsmouth on Sunday night after around 140 migrants in a single dinghy were rescued in the English Channel.
In the second major anti-migrant protest of the weekend, police faced off with demonstrators as they blocked roads in an effort to stop the people who had arrived on the small boat from leaving the city.
Hampshire Police urged people to avoid the Eastney Landing ferry port area, where the migrants were brought ashore, and said a dispersal order was in place, meaning anyone failing to comply could be arrested.
The government condemned "the intimidating and thuggish behaviour" of the protesters, many of whom were dressed in black and wore masks.
Sunny intervals and a fresh breeze, 14 - 23℃.
