@guardian: Hundreds of far-right protesters descended on Portsmouth and clashed with police after a boat carrying 140 asylum seekers was intercepted and brought ashore. The UK government condemned the “thuggish and intimidating behaviour”. It is thought to be the first time such a large vessel carrying asylum seekers has been brought to the city, and the first time a large crowd has tried to prevent new arrivals from being processed. It is the second major anti-migrant protest of the weekend. Many of those at Portsmouth were dressed in all black and wore face masks, similar to those who attended a rally that blocked roads in Dover on Saturday. The group of masked, black-clad vigilantes who blockaded roads in Dover could repeat the disruption unless police step up efforts to stop them, politicians and campaigners have said.
