Minister Condemns Disorder at Portsmouth Anti Migrant Protest After Police Officers Hurt The recent anti migrant protest in Portsmouth, which turned violent and left several police officers injured, is one manifestation of a growing divide between those who feel their lives are being disrupted by large scale immigration and those who see it as necessary.
The protests were sparked by the arrival of 120 migrants in a single dinghy, but they tap into a broader sense of frustration that has been building for years.
This issue isn't just about the migrants; it's also about the perceived failure of policymakers to address the root causes of migration.
