Anti-migrant protesters clashed with police in Gosport, Hampshire, after nearly 150 people were rescued from a small boat attempting to reach the UK from France. The Home Office stated that these migrants would undergo standard processing procedures at short-term holding facilities in Kent. This incident marks the second time this year that protesters have gathered in Gosport following similar rumors of migrant arrivals.

Story summary
In early November, a dinghy carrying 149 migrants from Normandy crossed the English Channel towards Britain. Initially spotted near Utah Beach in France on Sunday morning, the vessel was followed by French rescue boats until RNLI boats intercepted it off England's coast. The migrants were transported to Haslar Marina in Gosport, Hampshire.
Local authorities deployed police to maintain order and imposed conditions under the Public Order Act, prohibiting face coverings. Around 300 protesters gathered near the marina, shouting anti-migrant slogans and setting off flares, leading to minor scuffles with law enforcement. The Home Office stated that migrants would be taken to Kent for processing and stringent health checks.
This incident marks a rare occurrence of a boat departure from so far west along the French coast; similar incidents have recently prompted protests in other towns as well.
