Rival demonstrations took place in Portsmouth on Saturday (12 Sep) as debate surrounding migration and asylum policy in the UK continued to attract public attention.
The demonstrations followed the interception of a small boat carrying around 140 people seeking asylum near Portsmouth the previous weekend. The city saw a second consecutive weekend of protests, with anti-immigration demonstrators and counter-protesters gathering separately under police-managed conditions.
The protests reflect wider debate in the UK over border control, asylum arrangements and the government’s response to irregular migration.
