Several women suffered burns after attempting a small boat crossing of the English Channel and were taken to hospitals. The incident involved French rescue vessels shadowing a dinghy until it reached British waters where RNLI boats took over, bringing individuals to a marina in Gosport late Sunday evening. Authorities deployed extensive support including emergency services and security measures, with police imposing restrictions under public order laws due to demonstrations near the marina.

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.
