BBC Breakfast viewers 'outraged' over fresh migrant bombshell

BBC Breakfast viewers were left “outraged,” according to a segment described by the program, after the Home Office said 149 migrants were picked up off a single boat. The report referenced an extended standoff with protesters, with demonstrations continuing into the early hours and people placing traffic cones and nails in an attempt to prevent migrants from leaving. Eventually, coaches carrying asylum seekers departed to a processing centre in Kent, marking the second anti-migrant protest in the area within weeks. While small-boat crossings are down more than 40% versus the same period last year, the presenter said last night’s operation indicates smugglers are still running vessels through, making more protests likely. Six people were arrested near Haslar Marina.
