UK minister condemns "thuggish" anti-migrant protests in Portsmouth

British minister Emma Reynolds has condemned anti-migrant protests in Portsmouth and Dover, describing the demonstrators as "thuggish."

Reynolds noted that while the scale of the Portsmouth protest was significant, police have brought the situation under control, and she highlighted a 43% decrease in asylum seeker arrivals compared to the previous year.
