Tommy Robinson 'arrested under anti-terrorism laws' following London march

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.

I’m ashamed of this country in fact I’m disgusted

[vivabielsamot]

Yet men walk free after assaulting armed cops in an airport?? Seems about right for the woke society we live in currently!

[vijayanpisharody]

How many leaders were arrested in the UK BLM riots, pro Palestine protests or the riots in Leeds and now Rochdale?

[topgrafter]

The establishment are scared of him, at this moment in time he is the only British person that can rally thousands of people to take the streets. Any government fears that person and will do anything in there power legal or not to stop them.

[simnicnic]

OK for all pro Palestine marches but one British one and the promoter to a non violent march gets arrested hmmm says a lot about country and government and especially mayor of London

[ernsailor]

When did fighting (verbally) for your own country become terrorism.

Hamas supporters who are actually terrorist can walk freely but anti terror supporter is arrested. British government has gone insane.

He was leading a peaceful March. How can this be classed as terrorism?

[PaulOma-tn]

What’s so horrible that Tommy did genuine question?

[roxannakarn]

Gosh, one would think freaking out at an airport could be considered terrorism. Or is stabbing a soldier? But lead a peaceful protest with no car fires and "this" is terrorism? Incredible.😂

[darrengreen]
