Gosport Patriots hold anti-migrant march near immigration centre

The full story

Hundreds of protesters marched through Gosport on Sunday afternoon, October 25, 2026, in opposition to a planned redeveloped immigration removal centre at the former Haslar Immigration Removal Centre. According to social media posts cited by sources, the demonstration was organised by the group “Gosport Patriots.” Participants waved flags and chanted slogans such as “deport the lot” and “remigration now.” Concurrently, dozens of counter-protesters gathered for a static demonstration near the town's ferry port, displaying signs advocating for refugees and diversity. Police kept the two groups apart using vans and horses, while enforcing powers that prohibited face coverings in parts of the town. Authorities reported that the demonstrations passed largely peacefully.
