Furious protesters hammered on the gates of a small boat migrant processing centre chanting ‘send them back’ in Dover this afternoon.
There were tense scenes as around 50 demonstrators – many of them women and some accompanied by their children – confronted police guarding the Western Jet Foil facility opposite Lord Warden House.
The processing centre, which serves as an entry point where health checks are conducted before the migrants are moved to Manston asylum centre in Kent, has been closed for days for urgent repairs.
