Tommy Robinson has been arrested under anti-terror laws, according to his supporters, after a protest at which a film was allegedly screened in contempt of court.
His detention was made public in a post on his verified X account and follows a march led by Mr Robinson and a counter-protest in central London on Saturday which attracted thousands of people.
A complaint was later made over a film which was allegedly shown to the crowd in breach of a High Court order, with police saying officers were making further inquiries.
Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, also on Saturday afternoon posted a one hour 45 minute film on X, in which he said he had previously avoided publishing the video because he was “scared”.
A post on his X account on Sunday said: “We can confirm that Tommy Robinson has been detained by police using powers afforded to them under the Terrorism Act 2000. “That’s right, you read that correctly, Tommy is being held by police using counter terrorism legislation.
Verified X account
Entirely meaningless. Someone paid money for the tick
Good.
I hope he dies from it.
You tend not to die from being arrested unless you are a minority.
I didn’t say it was likely.
Good. Now send him to the Guantanamo Bay.
“That’s right, you read that correctly, Tommy is being held by police using counter terrorism legislation."
Probably fair enough. What’s your point?
They’re shocked that the
machine is brokeI think they are suggesting the far right activist promoting hate and violence shouldn’t be arrested on terrorism charges. Perhaps they’ve seen his hard drive and know it gets worse.
Yay ＼(_)／
I read Tony Robinson
Now that would be a more intriguing event. Tony the Time Team Terrorist.
Well who put all those bodies in the ground?
Me too. Fucking Baldrick.
Another WOKE name changer, wtf so woke!
Glad someone is out there locking up fascists.
Stephen is the sort of chap who smashes raw turnips into his forehead over and over for hours every day so that he can further thicken his skull to enable him to headbutt Muslims more effectively.
Finally! This shithead is getting what they deserves!
A post on his X account on Sunday said: “We can confirm that Tommy Robinson has been detained by police using powers afforded to them under the Terrorism Act 2000. “That’s right, you read that correctly, Tommy is being held by police using counter terrorism legislation.
Was that possibly because he was been a terrorist? Again.
What his lot don’t seem to understand, quite possibly due to it being slightly complicated, is that you don’t need to blow things up to be a terrorist.
He’s buggered off now!
