In Peckham, London, a significant protest unfolded as demonstrators attempted to prevent the transportation of asylum seekers from a local hotel to the Bibby Stockholm barge. Protesters, expressing concerns over the treatment of the migrants, resorted to slashing the tires of a coach designated for this transfer. The situation escalated, leading to police intervention, where 45 people were arrested. The police also warned protesters they faced arrest. The Home Office has criticized the actions as intimidatory and aggressive. Despite the protests, the coach eventually departed without the asylum seekers.
