Police in Portsmouth have used new powers targeting people who conceal their identities during protests as rival demonstrations over illegal migration returned to the city. A 76-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of concealing his identity, while footage from the protest also showed a burqa-clad demonstrator telling officers he was gender-fluid and considering converting to Islam.
