At 12.45pm today, 23 people blocked traffic on Portland Beach Road, before moving in front of the coach carrying people who are seeking asylum in the UK. A banner that read ‘No Prison Ships’ was unfurled in front of the coach and ‘Demand Humanity’ at the back. Just Stop Oil supporters in the road were repeatedly driven into, resulting in them leaving the carriageway for their own safety. Three have been arrested.
