Man charged after Gosport protest against arrival of small boat migrants

A man has been charged after failing to comply with restrictions imposed during a far-right protest linked to the arrival of small-boat migrants in Gosport, Hampshire. Hampshire Constabulary said around 350 people left Haslar Road at about 2 a.m. on Monday after migrants were brought ashore by coastguard, lifeboat, and border security staff. The police imposed conditions under the Public Order Act and powers prohibiting face coverings. Twelve people were arrested, including 11 men aged 22 to 59 and one 57-year-old woman, for offences such as assaulting an officer, drunk and disorderly conduct, criminal damage, and racially aggravated public order offences. Jamie Bennett, of Whiteley, faces a court appearance at Portsmouth on November 26 after being bailed.
