Tommy Robinson arrested in Kent under anti-terror laws: Force said it detained man, 41, at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone before protesters stormed Downing Street demanding his release
UK Daily Mail ^ | July 29 | By Megan Howe

Tommy Robinson was arrested in Kent under 'anti-terror laws', a day after organising a mass demonstration in London.

The far-right activist was detained by police at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone and later released on bail.

It comes after flag-waving protesters stormed Downing Street yesterday demanding his release.

Chants of 'release Tommy now' and 'we want Tommy out, we want Tommy out' could be heard from protesters, as tourists filmed the men on their phones.

Kent Police said on Sunday night that a man, 41, had been detained at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, The Guardian reported.

This legislation allows an examining officer to stop and question people entering and leaving the UK through ports, airports, international rail stations and the border area.

When necessary, they may also detain and search individuals.

The newspaper said Robinson was arrested 'for frustration of schedule 7 examination' and was later released on bail as enquiries continue.

Schedule 7 of the counterterrorism act 2000:

Excerpt: The examination of an individual under Schedule 7 is not conditional upon having grounds to suspect that person of being engaged in terrorism, but the decision must not be arbitrary.

Patriotism is a crime in the U.K., similar to here in America when Democrats are in control. But if you’re a Muslim shouting “Death to America”, you get a gold star.

Tommy Robinson being arrested is all over twitter, supposedly under the UK laws if someone feel threatened with violence, they can report it to police and, in this case, an Antifa counter protestor reported Robinson to police and it ended up getting him arrested.

There is one good thing about the Spanish Inquisition: it ridded Spain of those wolves in sheep’s clothing called Muslims. They constantly complain how they’re persecuted against when it is them who are doing the persecuting.

“The far-right activist ....”

The communist propaganda never stops.

To a communist/socialist, a Constitutional patriot is to their far, far right.

“It’s incredible what they British government has done to this man for telling the truth.”

Couple weeks ago it was the Canadian government doing it to him.

“Far right”, sure. Actual common sense and a sense of loyalty to his country and his people.

Yes, I saw. It might take an actual revolution in Britain for things to change over there. Their deep state may even be more entrenched and insular than our own.

The UK has also made some interesting changes to its elections laws since 2016.

Its Deep State wasn’t taking any chances.

Holy heck. It just gets worse, doesn't it...

Junior doctors offered 20% pay rise by Government to end strike action The Government hopes to have ended a long-running dispute with junior doctors over pay.

The doctor still refuses to see you now and is getting a huge raise while doing it.

It’s getting scarier...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13683793/Tommy-Robinson-fled-country-playing-libellous-film-thousands-protesters-Trafalgar-Square-rally-High-Court-hears.html

Did he flee? Where could he go? What Deep State wouldn’t turn him in?

Or has the UK’s Deep State put the bag on him, is detaining him illegally while putting it out that he’s fled?

Note to folks in the UK: Trust but verify. Everything. Always.

Terrorism in UK is actually saying anything that the muzzie infested UK Government doesn’t approve of.
