Around 350 demonstrators turned out anyway.
Residents of Gosport, the Royal Navy harbor town across the water from Portsmouth, spent Sunday under police orders that let officers direct people to leave town, as a migrant boat from France made its way toward their coastline.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary imposed a Section 34 dispersal order covering the entire town under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, running until 7am Tuesday. It lets officers order people to leave an area and not return, and refusing is a criminal offense. Police stacked several more restrictions on top:
The boat left Normandy, near Utah Beach, on Sunday morning. Late Sunday evening, two RNLI lifeboats brought 149 people ashore in Gosport, who were then put on coaches to Kent for processing, health, security and biometric checks. It was the third crossing headed for the western Channel coast in a month, a route that had been rare in recent years.
Two weeks ago, a boat carrying around 50 migrants was rerouted to Dover after locals protested.
On Sunday, around 350 demonstrators turned out anyway, according to the Portsmouth News, with reports of flares and scuffles with police. By Monday, 12 people had been arrested, for offenses including assaulting a police officer. Six people were arrested at a similar protest last month.
Footage posted overnight shows the lifeboats coming in after dark, and the police escort that then moved the coaches out of town.
Tensions on this stretch of coast have been building for weeks. On Sept. 22, Hayling Island native Daniel Thomas, an anti-migrant activist known online as “Danny Tommo” whom Breitbart describes as a Tommy Robinson ally, allegedly slashed a migrant boat in the Channel with an emergency responder on board. The 37-year-old has pleaded not guilty to criminal damage and to refusing to give police his phone PIN, and a judge at Portsmouth Crown Court denied him bail on Sept. 29. His trial is provisionally set for March 2027.
The local Conservative MP, Caroline Dinenage, wants the boats sent elsewhere. “Gosport is not a safe or suitable location to disembark small boats,” she said, arguing that any small boat intercepted in the Channel should be taken directly to Dover by water, as the Home Office did two weeks ago.
George Madgwick, who leads Reform UK on Hampshire County Council, put it more bluntly: “It’s heart-breaking because Portsmouth Harbour is the home of the Royal Navy… Britain is Broken.”
Then there is the bill. Hampshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Donna Jones, says every one of these landings now comes with a price tag for local taxpayers:
“On each one of the protests that are happening every time we have one of these threats of a small boat landing, it is costing me £150,000 of taxpayers’ money from my police budget, which I can ill afford to spend.”
In a video message, Jones called on the Home Secretary to make sure Border Force has vessels big enough to transfer people off the dinghies at sea and take them to Dover for processing.
On Monday, a government spokesperson said: “We have established contingency plans to make sure we can securely disembark, check and process all small boat arrivals.”
it didn’t work in 2020; it didn’t work for the Biden illegals invasion
Was it tried?
In a wheelchair, middle of the night no-knock raid, shot multiple times, and dragged outside on the sidewalk where he bled out as ambulance delayed.
They figured it out, after the fact.
There are <6000 armed police in England and Wales, population 60 million.
The army they depend on is mostly overseas. And the special units like SAS/SBS and the Parachute Regiment are under legal threat over “war crimes” going back to the first Gulf War and even Ulster in the 1970s.
Britain is now a situation where the masses are ready to rise, could easily overthrow the Regime. But as always there needs to be elite leadership
Every successful revolution in history has a faction of the elite break away and use mass support to overthrow the Regime and take over. That is what is missing, so far.
They need a Limey Robespierre.
Robespierre, Kerensky, Washington, Sun-Yat-Sen, Franco, Batista, Pinochet, Yeltsin... a long list
I don’t think a Washington/American-style Revolution would be enough.
A Robespierre/French-style Revolution with lots of guillotine action would probably be required.
Yes. But when you look at those things, the initial Revolution is rarely the final form. Kerensky, Sun-at-Sen, Batista all gave way to more radical elements. And in France, they started radical end ended with Napoleon.
I am aware of that. Jacobins gotta Jacobin. But it’s an efficient way to demigrate the “migrants.” I don’t know how else you are going to do it. They will not go quietly.
Lynch a few, and the rest will just leave, like the Partition of India, German DPs after WW2, Yugoslavia, and so many other instances.
But the elite traitors who brought them it to replace us, they shouldn’t be allowed to go anywhere.
It appears we are on the same page.
A good start would be to hang King Chuck from the minute hand of Big Ben.
Every country in the West has suffered some variation of the immigrant invasion.
The strongest pushback has been from Trump/MAGA
They cannot be allowed to remain. That is an existential fact.
Wasn’t their covert footage of that, on the ground, in New York State?

lizards and mice have stronger survival instincts than these alleged humans Ido.
Maybe they should be elected.
“All the stories have been told
Of kings and days of old
But there’s no England now (there’s no England now)
All the wars that were won and lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter very much anymore”
You should watch some of the Paul Joseph Watson videos if you want to see what dolts Brit officialdom are.
Retarded clowns.
