Protesters gathered in Gosport as a boat carrying around 149 migrants was shadowed by French rescue vessels before being met by RNLI boats in English waters. The UK Government stated that migrants would be transported to Kent for processing, including health and security checks. This incident follows similar events last month when protesters assembled near Haslar Marina expecting migrants but they were instead taken to Dover. Overall, there have been 19,451 Channel crossings this year, a decrease of 43% compared to the same period last year.

Story summary
Protesters gathered in Gosport, a town on the south coast of England, as authorities prepared for the arrival of a migrant dinghy carrying around 120 people. The small boat departed from near Utah Beach in Normandy, France, and was being monitored by French rescue vessels before it entered British waters. Upon crossing to English territory, two RNLI boats met the migrants off the coast and brought them ashore at a marina in Gosport late on Sunday.
Local police deployed officers to support emergency responses and imposed conditions under the Public Order Act, prohibiting face coverings at the scene. Despite tensions, the atmosphere remained mostly peaceful as ambulances and coaches were spotted nearby, likely for transporting migrants to Kent for further processing. The Home Office stated that all small boat arrivals are detained, checked, and processed according to stringent health, security, and biometric protocols. This event marks one of several recent migrant crossings from the western part of France into England via the English Channel.
