Political activist Tommy Robinson is to appear in court after he was charged with failing to provide police with the Pin to his mobile phone.
The 42-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is to attend the trial at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
He was charged after an incident at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone on July 28 2024, where he was accused of “frustration” of police counter-terrorism powers.
Under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, police are allowed to stop anyone passing through a UK port “to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”.

Oh, please, the UK government knows that Tommy Robinson is no threat to anything but their own unbridled power over the population. They show their weakness and fear by persecuting him - and they wake up more people every single time that they do stupid and tyrannical things like this.
Can I have two PINs?
One for my stuff on the phone,
And the other to obliterate everything, or maybe go to some benign pile of stuff?
In the UK there are many cases of people in prison because they refused to be compelled to speak.
In the US you might assume that the 5th amendment would protect you from being compelled to possibly incriminate yourself, but in reality that is not the case.
The US govt wants to weaken all encryption so they can not have access to anything and everything without forcing compelled speech as they know that is wrong.
bastards
Tomorrow, the state is putting me on trial, again, this time using "terrorism" legislation.
And again, I will not be judged by a jury of my peers, I'll be judged solely by a judge, and we know how this usually works.
So, as always, I expect to go to prison on these trumped-up charges.pic.twitter.com/8d1oCT3V3y— Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 (@TRobinsonNewEra) October 12, 2025
So I decided a good while ago that I'd smash my phone into the nearest concrete if it ever came to it, before I gave it up. Paranoid maybe, but I don't want to take chances like that.
You can do that with flash drives that are compliant with FIPS 140-2 level 3. And others.
All for show - the government knows exactly what’s on his phone. They’re only pretending they need him to unlock it.
The KeirStatsi British Police State,
their stupid ahole government is happy with it !
Were the hell is Farage? Speak out against this orwellian BS, you idiot
I’m surprised the UK government hasn’t already gotten his phone manufacturer, to break into his phone.
Not mine. I do nothing on my iPhone except make calls and occasional text messages. I don't use it for email, don't access my financial accounts on it, nor conduct any transactions on it, have no documents or files saved to it, no music on it, no photos, and have no third party apps downloaded to it. The majority of the options it came with, I disabled.
Ditto.
Smart Freeper!!
We don’t do anything on our cells that requires a password, e.g., shopping, banking, email, cloud.
I would be upset to lose my Contacts, though.
I can’t help but remember when the FBI stole Mike Lindell’s phone. He DID have his whole life on there. If they had wanted the info they could’ve forced the provider to turn it over.
I think they did it for the razzle-dazzle effect - a terrorist move to let us know, “We can get you, too”.
ditto that with the exception of apps for music, radio stations etc. It’s foolish (imho) to do anything financial on a smartphone. Never have, never will.
Obvious lawfare. The corrupt oppressive UK government is just harassing a political opponent. Everybody knows it and they’ve done it several times to Tommy Robinson already.
