Tommy Robinson Flees UK

Activist Tommy Robinson Flees UK Ahead of Latest Court Battle

Can’t blame him. He should seek asylum in a friendly nation. The UK establishment hates his guts and would arrest & charge him for breathing.
 Tommy Robinson speaks during a rally in Parliament Square after the final leg of the “March to Leave” in London, Friday, March 29, 2019. Pro-Brexit demonstrators were gathering in central London on the day that Britain was originally scheduled to leave the European Union.

British activist Tommy Robinson has reportedly fled the country ahead of a contempt of court hearing and after allegedly being arrested under “anti-terror” legislation.

According to the Solicitor General, which launched the latest court case against Robinson on contempt of court charges over a 2021 libel case, claimed ahead of Monday’s scheduled High Court hearing that the activist was no longer in the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

It came after Robinson Kent Police confirmed that a 41-year-old man had been detained Sunday under the Terrorism Act at the English Channel Tunnel, which connects Britain to France. More below the fold. Earlier: British dhimmi coppers applying sharia law against their own people. The creepy little Mayor of London is a Mohammedan and these Dirty Cops follow his orders. They won’t be called racist if they beat up their own. So it’s okay.

This followed a large-scale demonstration in London on Saturday, in which Robinson screened his film Silenced, which was banned over allegedly false claims made about Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, who successfully sued Robinson for libel in 2021, winning £100,000 in damages.

Solicitor General representative Adam Payter said that it is believed that Robinson left the country after being released on bail. “We understand he failed to cooperate with a port stop and search. The implication is he was attempting to leave the country and therefore was not intending to attend this hearing this morning,” he said according to the Daily Mail.

On Monday, the High Court heard that Robinson was “not within the jurisdiction of the UK”. Payter told the court that the Solicitor General believed that the activist had returned to the UK “with the purpose of publishing the film” and to leave again “to put himself beyond the reach of this court’s jurisdiction.”.

The presiding judge, Justice Johnson said that he was “entirely satisfied” that the case could proceed without Robinson being present but said that the court would wait “until early October” to see if Robinson would return voluntarily for the next hearing. In a post on his verified X account, supporters of Robinson said: “Tommy will be fighting his legal case on two different fronts. “He has also asked me to tell everyone that ‘he is not going quietly’ and the truth needed to be exposed, because there is a ‘public interest’ to do so.” Previous blog entries:

Tommy Robinson has been arrested in Canada on suspicion of an immigration offence after giving a speech in Calgary. The far-right activist, real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon, appeared to laugh in disbelief as officers put him in cuffs and escorted him to their car. In a video taken by outlet Rebel News on Monday, officers told the anti-Islam campaigner he was under arrest for an “outstanding arrest warrant”. Taking a swipe at Canada’s prime minister, Robinson said “f**k Justin Trudeau” to the camera as he was put in the back seat. A separate video, which appears to have been taken in secret by Robinson in the police car, appears to show him arguing with the two plain-clothes officers who arrested him, demanding to know why he was being held. Here, Yahoo News explains what we know so far about Robinson’s arrest and the charges he could face. Robinson, 41, was arrested shortly after speaking at an event in Calgary on Monday. He could be heard saying “absolutely insane” as the officers led him away. While travelling in the car, Robinson demands more information, with officers telling him his arrest had been ordered by the director of the Canada Border Services Agency. Robinson can be heard telling the officers: “Ain’t it mad how tough you get with immigration on the wrong people? “It’s mental innit. You act like absolute spineless cowards as a country letting every bloody goddamn f***ing Abdul or whoever into your country – you don’t know nothing about them, their criminal histories, or anything, or their ideologies, and then you turn up mob-handed for me for giving a talk at a seminar.”

One of the officers says it is “rather ironic” that Robinson is talking about criminal history, suggesting he lied about not having convictions on his application to enter the country. Robinson denies this and said his “boss” filled in the application on his behalf. Robinson has since been released but has been ordered to hand in his passport and to stay in Canada. Posting an update on X on Tuesday at 8.15am UK time, the activist said: “Ok I’m free, well sort of. “None of this makes sense. I’m now detained in Calgary, prevented from leaving the city. These conditions stop me from continuing my tour of Canada and meeting with guests for podcasts. I’m not even allowed to leave to travel home.” Robinson had been booked to speak in three Canadian cities by Rebel News. The outlet’s owner and co-founder Ezra Levant made appeals on X for donations to cover Robinson’s legal fees as he awaits a hearing. Levant later wrote: “Rebel News has hired Calgary’s leading criminal lawyer Alain Hepner and we are working to secure his release as soon as possible. He’s on the case right now.”

It is not clear when Robinson is next due in court or how long he could be prevented from leaving Canada. In an interview with Rebel News after his release from custody, he said he has to report to authorities every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and notify them of any hotel or address he is staying at. Given that he is yet to be found guilty of any immigration offences, it is not yet clear whether he will be deported or banned from re-entering Canada or whether he will face any other kind of penalty. Based on the conditions of his release, it is likely Robinson won’t be able to attend his two other scheduled events in Edmonton on Tuesday and Toronto on 30 June, but this is yet to be confirmed. While officers appeared to give hints at what Robinson’s immigration offence related to during their conversation in the car, this is yet to be confirmed, and the exact wording of his charge has not been released. Authorities are yet to comment on the video presented on social media as a secret recording. It is not clear whether Robinson would face any consequences for filming the video. Read more:
