Refugees welcome demonstration in United Kingdom

DOVER, UNITED KINGDOM - DECEMBER 11: A group of people take part in a counter-protest to a pre-planned anti-migrant gathering in Dover, United Kingdom on December 11, 2025. Social media posts have been circulating since December, promoting a rally in Dover to oppose the government's approach to small boat crossings in the English Channel. However, the rally never occurred. Foreign Secretary David Lammy unveiled new sanctions aimed at disrupting the financial networks of companies and individuals involved in organised immigration crime, with the measures expected to take effect within a year.
