British activist Tommy Robinson has reportedly fled the country ahead of a contempt of court hearing and after allegedly being arrested under “anti-terror” legislation.

According to the Solicitor General, which launched the latest court case against Robinson on contempt of court charges over a 2021 libel case, claimed ahead of Monday’s scheduled High Court hearing that the activist was no longer in the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

It came after Robinson Kent Police confirmed that a 41-year-old man had been detained Sunday under the Terrorism Act at the English Channel Tunnel, which connects Britain to France.

He was probably told to leave as a condition of bail. The story said he left the area.

Can’t blame him at all. The Brits take Trump-style legal persecution to a whole other level.

Defected from the UK. Trump can grant him asylum and citizenship if he wants it. Who’s like the USSR or NK these days?

I don’t blame him for fleeing either. They would throw him back in Belmarsh prison like last time. Enough is enough.

Right wingers are citizens, left wingers are activist.

Christendom is now controlled by commies and neoCON globalists. Patriots and citizens are now the enemies of their own governments. And this is why the “West” hates Russia so much. They have not fallen in line with open borders globohomo globalism.

We don’t know that he did flee...yet.

For all we know the UK’s Deep State could be illegal holding him and th7s has been put out for cover.

Trust but verify.

In 2013, he illegally entered the United States using a friend's passport.

Yikes

Isn't he barred from entering the United States? He entered the US illegally once using someone else's passport. No thanks.

I think I know what’s going on....speculation but...

At the rally he played his BANNED film ‘Silenced’ (the irony). It probably triggered a bunch of the right people...fearing what he knows. A ‘contempt of court’ (film was against a court order) wouldn’t be enough to force him to talk, the Terrorism Act means you DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SILENCE. You MUST answer questions otherwise you’re committing another crime. Same with providing a phone pin.

The film shows that many people involved in a national story were paid off and signed an NDA to be silent. The authorities will want to know everyone he spoke to.

The Met Police weren’t involved, so we need to look higher up. Of course, other ‘journalists’ will be very uncurious about all this....even though it could directly be applied to them.

It seems that globally, nobody in journalism is doing their job. When somebody does, in this case TR, he’s used as an example of what will happen.

Are you aware of what this man has done and been through? There are reasons, even though he admits that was a big mistake.

Two weeks ago, in an interview with Jordan Peterson, Robinson hinted that he had an upcoming holiday with his family. See here at about 1:27:00: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jnhwBoFxaDI&t=3189s It’s possible he’s just on a family vacation.

Maybe he can get Ireland to take him in as a political refugee.

Tommy Robinson is going to be assassinated.

The script is already written - lone muslim assassin who was “offended,” organized state-run media claim “he brought it on himself,” followed by suppression of facts of the case.

I hope he has good security.

He has dual nationality and Irish citizenship by virtue of his Irish mother.

Handy for him to have that since it means the British state doesn’t have full control over his movements.

He entered Canada via his Irish passport because the British government would have flagged him up in advance to stop him using it to travel to North America otherwise.

Per the above, if Robinson isn’t back by October, he’ll be tried in absentia. Which is legal in the UK apparently.

Handy that, eh?
