Protesters block Dover port access
Masked protesters at the British Port of Dover, one of the largest ferry ports to France, organized demonstrations that disrupted traffic around the port in the morning. The protesters held anti-immigrant slogans, chanting "Stop the boats," referring to the trips arriving on the southern coast of England in rubber boats from France. Despite blocking the main roads during the protest, police restored access to the port by midday and did not arrest anyone. These protests come amid UK government efforts to curb the flow of asylum seekers, which numbered around 16,513 people as of September—down 43% compared to the previous year.
