What we know about anti-migrant protests and organiser Danny Thomas
Watch: What connects the Dover and Portsmouth migrant protests?
This weekend saw hundreds of people take part in two anti-migrant protests. The men in balaclavas in Dover, and the crowd trying to block the migrant coaches in Portsmouth.
But how are they linked? The answer is one man - Danny Thomas, more often known as Danny Tommo - and some apparently poor decision-making by Border Force officials.

Saturday's protest in Dover saw men in black clothing and balaclavas block the town's main roads for several hours.
It was organised by Thomas - seemingly after weeks of plotting over the summer - who comes from Hayling Island near Portsmouth.
When Border Force then had to decide where to ask the RNLI to bring a boatful of migrants ashore on Sunday after an unusual longer English Channel crossing from Baie de Seine, it opted for the Eastney landing stage.
