Kent Police seek talks with Dover protest organisers after port disruption
Kent Police have not yet spoken to Dover protest organisers after a Saturday disruption that blocked access to the Port of Dover; they describe the event as lawful and have invited organisers to contact them. The force says it did not know about the protest in advance, prompting scrutiny of intelligence-gathering, and plans to engage with attendees to understand future plans and balance peaceful protest rights with local needs. No arrests were made in Dover, while a related anti-migrant protest in Portsmouth drew injuries and disruption the following day.
