News about Tommy Robinson

IAN HERBERT: There were two senior German police officers in the room at Whitehall on Tuesday to relate that England fans at Euro 2024 would be welcome, but songs about WW2 wouldn't. The presence of the Germans at a briefing staged by British police and the Foreign Office revealed how far removed the policing of this event is from Euro 2016 , where the uncompromising French police simply rolled out the water cannon and unleashed it on offending supporters.

Tommy Robinson was pictured in the away end at Wolverhampton Wanderers last Saturday during their match against Luton Town prompting outrage from other supporters on social media. The self-confessed 'football hooligan', whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had been giving the banning order in December 2020 after footage emerged of him punching an England fan in Portugal before a 2019 match against Holland

Six people were arrested near Downing Street after police intervened when a group broke through a cordon made to stop people moving past the area allocated for the event. This led to scuffles breaking out, with one man arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after a police horse was reportedly 'targeted on Whitehall'. Another man was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly. The melee happened just before the main rally at 3pm, where Robinson - former leader of the English Defence League - was joined by leader of the Reclaim Party Mr Fox as he gave a speech. Robinson was already in London having been acquitted of breaching a dispersal order while attending a pro-Israel protest on November 26 last year.

The far-right activist, real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon, was today acquitted after a judge ruled the power used against him had not been legally authorised by the Metropolitan Police. Mr Robinson, 41, was arrested and pepper-sprayed at a march against anti-Semitism near the Royal Courts of Justice in central London , where the demonstration began, on November 26 last year. The co-founder and former leader of the English Defence League was accused of failing to follow an order to leave the area. Organisers had said he would not be welcome at the event, which was the first of its kind since the start of the current Israel-Hamas conflict and had about 100,000 people attending.

Police officers have clashed with protesters in central London on St George's Day after people belonging to far right groups travelled across the UK to the capital to march on Whitehall. The Met Police said some members of the large crowd, located near to the Cenotaph, 'violently' forced through police blockades, requiring the deployment of mounted officers. A spokesperson previously said that among those expected to attend were people belonging to 'far right groups' and 'groups linked to football clubs'. Crowds blocked the road and chants of 'England till I die' could be heard in videos from the scene.

The former English Defence League (EDL) leader, 41, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon , is accused of failing to comply with a direction to leave an area in Westminster on November 26 last year. Inspector Steve Parker-Phipps, responsible for policing certain aspects of the protest, imposed a Section 35 order under the Crime and Policing Act 2014 when he thought a 'right-wing group' could potentially be attending, the trial at Westminster Magistrates' Court heard. The court heard Inspector Parker-Phipps, whose laptop battery was 'dying', put the order in place at 10am on November 26, but accidentally dated the form for November 24. The march was the first of its kind since the Israel-Gaza conflict began, with an estimated 100,000 people in attendance.

Who are the medics at the heart of the scandal that sparked the need for the landmark Cass report in the first place? And who are the doctors still privately providing questionable treatments? Dr Polly Carmichael (top right) was the most recent and last director of the NHS's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) hosted at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Dr Aidan Kelly (bottom left) is now director at Gender Plus, a private provider of gender treatment in the UK which operates next to a chicken shop in Hackney, London. Psychologist Dr Heather Wood (top centre) allegedly based a teenage girl's early childhood interest in a Thomas the Tank Engine train toy as a reason she should go on to puberty blockers.

A Conservative Birmingham city councillor who said Islam was a dangerous religion as part of a number of vile social media posts has claimed he was 'not aware of what he tweeted' due to 'mental health issues'. Rick Payne, 59, who represents the ward of Kingstanding, has shared multiple messages on the platform X, formerly Twitter , in which he shockingly refers to Pakistanis as 'disgusting inbred medieval filth' and 'dirtier than pigs', during a tweeted exchange with disgraced extremist Tommy Robinson In a blitz of extreme right wing posts, he also pressed for people to 'take Britain back' and spoke of a 'civil uprising' being on the way, in which 'blood will spill'. Today, in response to BirminghamLive's inquiries, a 'deeply sorry' Mr Payne said he had been 'suffering from mental health issues'. In a tearful statement, he also pledged to take up offers of support and said he has deleted the account. He has been suspended by the Conservative group on Birmingham City Council, who say they are offering specialist support.

A far-right terrorist who firebombed a migrant detention centre was found to have viewed indecent images of children and incited racial hatred months before the attack, an inquest has heard. Andrew Leak had thrown four improvised explosive devices at the site in Dover docks on October 30, 2022, before taking his own life hours later as police hunted for him. The 66-year-old had suffered deteriorating mental health over several years due to drug and alcohol addiction, with things spiralling further after the unexpected death of his son several months prior to the attack. An inquest heard on Tuesday that months before the attack Leak had been the subject of an eight-hour stand-off with police after he called them saying he was going to kill himself in a graveyard in Oxfordshire. The retired labourer was taken into custody by Thames Valley Police who discovered evidence of viewing indecent images of children and incitement to racial hatred on his iPad and mobile phone.

The party's surge in the polls has resulted in a sense of anxiety in Downing Street, as well as a mention of Nigel Farage's return to frontline politics. On Sunday, a Mail investigation into the candidates picked to run in the forthcoming election for Reform UK revealed that they include a criminal abuser and a fortune teller who sold spells for £200 on the pornography-dominated website OnlyFans. Other candidates have also posted anti-Semitic, far-Right, racial, and sexist information, which has spread Covid misinformation. Reform UK, led by Richard Tice, is just four percent behind the Conservatives, is expected to split the Tory referendum and lead to a landslide for Sir Keir Starmer's Labour party, according to some polls. Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, has stated that "a vote for Change is a vote for Labour," but that has not stifled the party's polling.

This image shows the group at a Stirling club and Shaun Caldwell, a member of the Nazi salute.

Bronson Battersby was an adorable little boy. That's right, according to most. Bronson in his first steps under his dad's careful guidance; Bronson in his Pudsey pyjamas; and Children in Need's mascot, which is cruelly ironic in the situation). How sad the photographs are today, how poignant they are.

Tommy Robinson, a far-right activist, has lost in court appeal to reverse his ban on attending London demonstrations, which he argued was a "abuse of human rights." Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the 40-year-old founder of English Defence League, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested on November 26 at a march against antisemitism in central London after its leaders had said that they did not want him to attend because they did not want him to attend.

However, a judge at Westminster magistrates court (inset) has now allowed him to enter the capital for meetings with political organizations that have been pre-approved by the Met Police.

Officers in London said they are looking for a man in connection with a racially aggravated assault on a train on Sunday. A man on the train appears to be fighting out between two guys on the train, in which the Palestine activist threatens to'smack' a pro-Israel activist'across the head.' When the brave Israel activist films it on his phone, he turns and yells to the other passengers, branding them 'clowns, 'donkeys, and 'r***rds.' The yob takes his phone out to video the crowd and says, "You f****** murderers, I salute you!" says the yob. A lot of [...] absolute r***rds exist. With your little stupid posters guy, we have a joke.'

Following an incident in London over the weekend, the Metropolitan Police have appealed to track down more than 60 people convicted of perpetrating hate crimes and other offences. More than 977 open probes across the Met Police have been revealed into a number of cases relating to protests and incidents in communities in reaction to Israel's assault last month.

A row broke out between two men on a London subway, in which a Palestinian activist (pictured) threatens a pro-Israel advocate 'across the head.' While the brave Israel activist films the incident on his phone, he turns and shouts to the others, naming them 'clowns, 'donkeys, and 'r***rds.' The yob takes his phone out to film the crowd, saying, "Say mates, say hi to f****** killers.' "I'm surrounded by a pack of killers right now," a group of child molesters says. All of you are very welcome.'

Tommy Robinson was peppered by police after being arrested during the March Against Anti-Semitism in central London on Sunday, after being warned by authorities not to stay away. Hundreds of police officers arrested the English Defence League founder outside the Royal Courts of Justice, where the protest was attended by tens of thousands of people. After a synthetic pepper spray was used on the black market, the 40-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, had his eyes partially closed, according to photos and videos from the scene. The Metropolitan Police said the drug was used after he'resisted while officers attempted to arrest him in handcuffs' having been warned repeatedly that it would be sprayed. Mr Robinson had claimed he was attending the rally, which was the biggest demonstration against anti-Semitism in London since 1936,'as a journalist,' but the march's organizers had raised questions about other participants'.

We've read and heard a lot about the feeling of bewilderment, shock, profound sadness, and - worst of all - fear felt by Britain's Jewish people in the last 50 days,' Robert Hardman writes. Yesterday, the collective anarchy in London's East End brought the biggest demonstration of support for British Jews since the Battle of Cable Street in London's East End nearly 90 years ago. The total figure came out at 105,000, but not nearly half of the UK's entire Jewish population.

After arguing with officers for about ten minutes outside the Royal Courts of Justice, the English Defence League founder was seen being led out of the march by police. Mr Robinson said,'Met Police are attempting to coerce me and discourage me from reporting on London's antisemitism marche, which has caused my deposition.' @metpoliceuk is a disgrace.' This week, the Met Police has been in constant contact with the march's leaders, who had raised questions that Mr Robinson's presence would'cause fear for other participants.' For the demonstration organized by the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism, a large crowd gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice.

Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators flooded Central London's streets, shouting the infamous 'from the river to the sea' slogan, with children as young as five joining in. This comes as Met Police officers made their first arrest after issuing a hate speech alert that culminated in Arabic-speaking officers being deployed to look for offensive chanting and photographs in the crowd. Some believe this is a call for Israel to not exist, and others claim to be a call for Israel to not exist, and signs are showing the resistance with the same word.' One placard featured a photo of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer under the term "genocide," while another had a snapshot of the G7's leaders above the word 'War criminals on the run." 'no truce', according to a second sign. More than 150,000 demonstrators are set to march in three separate protests as London prepares for another weekend of mass protests. Both pro-Palestinian marches and protests against antisemitism are currently on place, with 500 from outside London. Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic party, also protests outside the Egyptian Embassy.
