Around 120 migrants are aboard a dinghy heading towards Gosport on the south coast of England, with local authorities deploying police and emergency services to prepare for their arrival. About 100 protesters have gathered near Haslar Marina, maintaining mostly peaceful demonstrations but engaging in chants critical of law enforcement. This incident follows recent trends, including previous migrant crossings from Normandy and a significant decrease in Channel crossing numbers this year compared to last.

Story summary
In late August, French media reported that a small boat carrying around 120 migrants was spotted heading towards the south coast of England after departing near Utah Beach in Normandy. The vessel’s movement prompted local authorities to deploy additional officers and impose conditions under the Public Order Act in Gosport, Hampshire, where protesters had gathered, surrounding police vans and chanting slogans like "shame on you" and "deport the lot." Ambulances and coaches were also seen in the area. Despite initial concerns, the migrants were ultimately brought ashore by two RNLI boats near Haslar Marina in Gosport rather than being taken to Dover as had happened previously. The UK Government stated that its Border Security Command continuously monitors such crossings to protect the border.
