💡 Why it matters
This incident highlights how far-right activists can mobilize large crowds based on misinformation, straining police resources and escalating community tensions over migrant arrivals.

Police are investigating a video showing anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, slashing a dinghy with a knife during a livestream. Separately, six people were arrested after hundreds of protesters heeded his calls and gathered at Gosport marina in Hampshire.
