Quote:
Requests to accept the landing of RNLI boats carrying 120 migrants intercepted off the Isle of Wight were refused by both Portsmouth harbour and Southampton Port.

Associated British Ports (ABP), which operates Southampton, said it was not the closest port and it "did not have suitable reception facilities available".
May make these people think twice about taking the much longer and more dangerous 'trip' to different ports

Good to see somebody at least making a stand, although fully expecting legal bods to soon put a stop to this sort of thing.
