Well, on Sunday was quite an interesting phenomenon and rather unfortunate from the government's point of view because the man who'd organised that protest on Saturday, Danny Tomo, comes from Portsmouth.
In fact, he comes from the Hailing Island just to the east of Portsmouth.
And on Saturday, a boat set off far further west from Calais than what we've normally seen.
It set off pretty much from Cherbourg.
So for those people who are used to crossing the Channel to go on holiday, instead of taking the kind of
Dover Calais route, the migrants were essentially taking the Portsmouth-Sherbourg, Portsmouth-Con route.
And as a result, when they were met mid-channel, in this case by RNLI lifeboats, there was a decision to take them in near to Portsmouth.
They didn't go into Portsmouth Harbour itself.
It's a bit of a developing story, but we think there was a big row, which basically Portsmouth Harbour said, we're not going to take the migrants, we're a naval group.
facility.
And what happened was that migrants ended up being brought ashore on a landing jetty right by Hailing Island.
So essentially the migrants were delivered to the doorstep of the person that had organised the protests on Saturday.
So he was able to spontaneously, using his quite hot social media accounts at the time, still bubbling from Saturday, generate another protest on Sunday night, trying to block the coaches from
from taking the migrants off those boats and taking them away for processing.
It was slightly different.
It was an evolving protest.
It started off very much of local people from Portsmouth.
I mean, I was watching Danny Tomo's
YouTube live stream and he was saying, get yourselves down here.
He was encouraging people to come from London.
