A small group of protesters gathered on the harbour slipway and we saw an argument brewing between two of them."That's a myth," a man from the Stand Up To Racism Dorset group responded."People come from war zones, they come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria – they've got the right to claim asylum and we support them."
A total of 339 people crossed the Channel on Friday and Saturday, with none making the trip on Sunday during bad weather. Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said:"Rishi Sunak is failing to fix the Tories' boats chaos and the Conservatives are just flailing around chasing headlines rather than getting a grip."Steve Valdez-Symonds, Amnesty International UK's refugee and migrant rights director, said:"It seems there's nothing this government won't do to make people seeking asylum feel unwelcome and unsafe in this country.
Home Office minister Ms Dines would not confirm or deny the plan but said the government was"looking at all options".
