First refugees arrive on ‘floating prison’
Dorset police reportedly undergo special training to deal with far-right attacks
Workers leave the Bibby Stockholm accommodation barge at Portland Port in Dorset, during what is believed to be a fire drill

POLICE in Dorset are reportedly undergoing special training to deal with far-right violence as the first contingent of refugees arrived at the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland Port today.

Their arrival coincided with publicity fanfares from government ministers as they ramped up the demonisation of immigrants.

The ministers warned that a massive new maximum financial penalty of £45,000 will be imposed on employers who hire migrants arriving in Britain by “irregular” means and on landlords who house them.
