Tommy Robinson charged under Terrorism Act before far-right march in London
The Guardian ^ | Fri 25 Oct 2024 | Matthew Weaver

The far-right leader Tommy Robinson has been charged under the Terrorism Act and is being held in custody before a planned march of his supporters amid fears of a repeat of violence that erupted when he was imprisoned in 2018.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, handed himself in to Folkestone police station on Friday afternoon where he was charged with failing to provide the pin to his mobile phone under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act. He was bailed to appear in court next month, Kent police said. He was then remanded in custody under a high court direction, the force said.

In July Robinson allegedly refused to give police access to his mobile phone when he was stopped under the Terrorism Act at the Channel tunnel. He had been bailed subject to returning to Folkestone police station.

He is also due to appear at Woolwich crown court on Monday on separate charges of contempt of court for repeating libellous allegations against a Syrian refugee. Robinson’s supporters, who now control his X account, told his 1 million followers on the platform that he was being held on remand until Monday’s court appearance.

The Metropolitan police have said they expect a “busy day” on Saturday as Robinson’s supporters plan to march from Victoria to Whitehall under the banner “Uniting the Kingdom”, while a Stand Up to Racism counter protest is also planned. The United Families and Friends Campaign is planning a protest in Trafalgar Square against the acquittal this week of the firearms officer who shot dead Chris Kaba.

If not for that, it certainly would have been for something else. If an all-powerful central government (US or UK or etc.) wants ya, they gots ya.

The UK lapsed into tyranny within a few months of the left taking power.

I would prefer that the king make a statement along the lines of, “Stop this crap right now.”

But of course the British monarch reigns but does not rule. So King Charles will do absolutely nothing as his country slides into the abyss.

There is also a bookstore in Faneuil Hall in Boston with materials that will show you Brits how to fight for and win your rights!

If the Democrats and RINOs get violent after our US election, we Yanks will need these materials too, unless we’re up on our American Revolution history!

He’s a KINO. All of the INO’s lean left.

No need to bomb it. In a couple of years it will be like Havana. Destroyed from within.

That’s pretty good! I once had an interesting (and polite) conversation with a British royalist here on Free Republic. The Brit said that the monarchy is a solid tourist attraction. Plus the monarch is a last check on tyranny.

Okay, I’ll accept the tourist thing. But I wish I would have asked the Brit this: What would it take for the monarch use his bully pulpit to intervene?

The UK is awash with illegals, including many dangerous Muslims. And anyone who objects will end up in cell next to Tommy Robinson. Isn’t that enough?

I guess not.
