Activists block coach carrying asylum seekers back to Bibby Stockholm
Anti-racists in in Portland welcome refugees and protest against the Home Secretary forcing them to stay on the Bibby Stockholm barge

ACTIVISTS blocked a bus transporting asylum-seekers back to the Bibby Stockholm barge today.

Just Stop Oil protesters temporarily held up the coach on its approach to the vessel at the gates of Portland port, Dorset.

Dozens of anti-racism campaigners also gathered to condemn the returning of men to the 500-capacity facility, previously branded a “potential death trap” by the Fire Brigades Union.
