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,...

Two years ago, I woke up to reports that something was up in Israel. I filed my first reaction when there were just - just - a hundred and fifty dead. That corpse count rose quickly through the day to 1,200 - the highest number of slaughtered Jews since the Second World War. But, even in those early hours, the nature of the event was clear: The hippie chicks seized at a near parodic peacenik music festival, raped to death, and then taken as hunting trophies to have their corpses paraded bloody and naked through the streets of Gaza as...

An Israeli minister has clashed with the U.K.’s leading Jewish organizations after lauding a leader of the English far right and inviting him to visit the country. Tommy Robinson, a convicted fraudster with a violent criminal record who is well known for inspiring rallies of mostly white, mostly male followers shouting soccer-style chants against Islam and immigration, accepted the invitation from Amichai Chikli, Israel’s minister for the diaspora and combating antisemitism. Chikli called Robinson — whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon — a “courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam.” Writing on X Friday, Chilki said he would...

The Board of Deputies of British Jews condemned comments by Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli, who announced his intention to host right-wing activist Tommy Robinson in Israel later this month. According to the Board, “Tommy Robinson is a bully representing the worst of Britain. His presence undermines the sincere efforts of those genuinely working to combat Islamic extremism and foster community cohesion.” “The minister has proven that he is a ‘Diaspora Minister’ in name only—not in his actions. In this dark hour, he chose to ignore the views of the overwhelming majority of British Jews, who consistently and unequivocally reject...

@AmichaiChikli In the wake of the horrific Manchester terrorist attack, Israel and the Jewish people stand firmly with our allies in the United Kingdom. On behalf of the State of Israel, I am proud to host British patriot @TRobinsonNewEra who will visit Israel in mid-October. Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam. At a time when Jews across Europe face rising antisemitism, it is vital to strengthen bonds with allies who refuse to be silent. He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront...

Two years ago, after some medical treatment following my third heart attack following the Mark Steyn Adriatic Cruise, I took a cab to Milan's central station to board one of the most agreeable trains I've ever ridden. The dining car had an excellent wine list, better than most restaurants.I don't recall the station being quite as impressive as the train, but it had a handsome atrium. I remember standing awhile and looking up at the ceiling. I wouldn't do that today, because I might fail to spot the incoming projectile and duck in time. This was the scene yesterday:(video at...

At London’s huge “Unite the Kingdom” anti-immigration rally organized by Tommy Robinson, Elon Musk addressed over 100,000 protesters via video, calling for regime change in the UK and warning that “violence is coming” if mass migration continues. Musk blamed Britain’s political left for “slow destruction” of the nation, denounced the “woke mind virus,” and said those in the “reasonable middle” must act before violence reaches them. He invoked the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the US, accusing the left of celebrating “murder,” and slammed the government for failing to protect citizens—calling for the “dissolution of Parliament” and fresh...

Elon Musk has now appeared via video at the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march led by Tommy Robinson, telling the crowd that ‘the left are the party of murder’ in a reference to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The X owner said that there was something ‘beautiful’ about being British, adding: ‘There is so much violence on the left, with our friend Kirk getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly. ‘The left is the party of murder and celebrating murder. I mean, let that sink in for a minute, that’s who we’re dealing...

Well before the march started, thousands of people flowed over Blackfriars bridge, or came up from Waterloo station, flags everywhere, hailing from everywhere - from Yorkshire roses to the diamond of the Isle of Wight. What exactly it was that "United the Kingdom" was left vague, for people to cheer their own particular cause. This was billed as a free speech rally and the most common chants we heard were "Keir Starmer's a *******", "oh Tommy Tommy" and "we want our country back". That means different things to different people. Dawn, up from Southampton and wearing a red sequined jacket,...

The police force previously launched a probe after reports a man was assaulted at the busy London railway station. A day later, Robinson had gone to Tenerife and was wanted for questioning after video emerged of him walking...

Attacked in the tubes and kicked assailant's arse. Contacted lawyer and police, informed them that he was on his way to catch plane to Portugal, and when he'd be back, and when he arrived back in England, he was arrested. CCTV on the tubes showed that he was defending himself, so he was released. Tommy makes recorded statement, posted on Tousi TV. Media lied about everything, and leftards were celebrating, now gnashing teeth that he was released. Transcript, including statement, linked below video.

Today marks the first anniversary of the slaughter at Southport - at one of those summer-resort activities you sign your kids up for, with nary a thought. In this case, it was a Taylor Swift dance-class, from which three little girls never came home: Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine years old; Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven; and Bebe King six. As Lucy Connolly could tell us if she weren't rotting in Starmer's Lubyanka, nothing is more traumatising than the death of a child. So we remember Alice, Elsie and Bebe even as Britain's "mainstream" media has chosen mostly to memory-hole them,...
