Far-right activists gathered in Portsmouth for a second consecutive weekend of anti-immigration demonstrations following the interception of a small boat carrying 140 asylum seekers on Sunday 1. Three individuals were arrested during the protests, including a 76-year-old man from Southampton suspected of concealing his identity, a 33-year-old Portsmouth resident accused of obstructing traffic, and a 16-year-old Portsmouth teenager charged with violent disorder 1. Additionally, a 42-year-old Portsmouth resident, Del Leon Somerville, was prosecuted for violent disorder and assaulting police officers 1.
Police deployed substantial forces to maintain order at the scene, employing new powers under the Crime and Policing Act to require protesters to remove face coverings 1. Officers reported that the protests remained largely peaceful aside from a small number of incidents 1. The small boat crossing represented what authorities described as the first instance of such a large-scale vessel carrying asylum seekers attempting to reach Portsmouth, and the first time large-scale anti-immigration protesters mobilized to obstruct the processing of newly arrived asylum seekers 1. Cross-border small boat arrivals have declined by more than 40 percent compared to the same period last year 1. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood met with police on Thursday to discuss responses to far-right groups 1. Anti-immigration demonstrations and counter-protests also took place in Glasgow on the same day 1.
