Police are seeking to identify protesters after several officers were injured and vehicles damaged in Portsmouth at a demonstration sparked by the arrival of 120 migrants in a single dinghy.

Policing Minister Sarah Jones told the House of Commons the disorder on Sunday night was "intimidating and thuggish" and warned "those who cross into illegality" would "face the full force of the law".

The protests followed a large group of masked men holding a demonstration over small-boat crossings at the Port of Dover on Saturday, causing major disruption.

Portsmouth City Council said the Home Office had "serious questions to answer" over the decision to bring the migrants, who had crossed the English Channel from France, to shore in the area.

Dingy overload issue?

warned "those who cross into illegality" would "face the full force of the law"

Clearly, this is a one-sided pronouncement.

I’m not sure there are any real men left in the UK.

The "minister" labels the protest by her own citizens as "illegality", yet won't lift a finger to deal with the boat full of illegals invading the country. The problem sits in Parliament.

You mean like illegal immigration? Of course not!

[Uncle Miltie]

“The full force of the law” will be applied against natives, but not the law breaking hordes invading.

Got it!

Britains need to start using mortars from the shore to target the rafts.

You would think the Policing Minister would be aware of the irony of her choice of words, but I guess not. People in the U.K. are expecting the government to come down very hard on those protesting the invasion of their country.

Dear BBC: A few things to keep in mind:

(1) They’re not “migrants”; they’re INVADERS;

(2) It’s the Brits’ country. Goes back something like an estimated 1,200 years since Alfred the Great, and 1,500 if you count Arthur; and

(3) God help the invaders and their authority-figure “friends” if the British people really do unite and decide to take their land back. Kind of sounds to me (from my outsider’s perspective) like that’s already started.
