How to police migrant protests?
5live listeners have their say with Nicky Campbell.
The policing minister has called anti-migrant protests in Portsmouth 鈥渋ntimidating and thuggish鈥�. Some officers were injured as protesters tried to stop 140 migrants from leaving the city. Similar protests took place in Dover, organised by anti-migration campaigner 鈥淒anny Tommo鈥�.
Shadow home secretary Chris Philp condemned the violence but said the protests should be "a wake-up call for the government because it's not just those protesters in Dover and Portsmouth who feel so angry about large-scale illegal immigration. It is millions and millions of people up and down this country who feel angry as well."
Nicky heard from listeners across the UK.
