Six arrested after anti-migrant protest at marina in Hampshire
Six individuals were arrested following an anti-migrant protest at a Gosport marina in Hampshire, where hundreds gathered in the mistaken belief that a small boat carrying asylum seekers would arrive. The protest was organized by far-right activist Daniel Thomas, who is also facing a police inquiry for slashing an inflatable dinghy with a blade while a rescue worker was aboard. In response to increasing aggression and threats against staff, the Home Office has announced plans to use public order powers to protect Border Force employees and migrants.
