Far-right protesters block roads in Portsmouth after boat arrival
Hundreds of far-right activists gathered in Portsmouth on Sunday night after a small boat carrying 140 asylum seekers was intercepted. Protesters, some wearing balaclavas, blocked roads for hours, preventing coaches from taking the new arrivals to a processing centre. Police cars had windscreens smashed, and the government condemned the "thuggish behaviour" of those involved.
