Tommy Robinson Arrested At March Against Antisemitism In London

The far-right leader Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has been arrested by police at a march in London against antisemitism after ignoring pleas from organisers to stay away.

Yaxley-Lennon, 40, better known as Tommy Robinson, was detained on Sunday after officers told him to leave the area.

His arrest came during a march against the increase in antisemitism faced by Jewish people in Britain since the Middle East was plunged into crisis after the attack in southern Israel by Hamas on 7 October.

Organisers said up to 60,000 people attended the march in central London making it the biggest stand against antisemitism since 1936, when protesters confronted Oswald Mosley’s blackshirts at Cable Street in east London.

Tommy Robinson Arrested At March Against Antisemitism in London



He's just jumping on the bandwagon.

The man does not care one iota for the poor Jews or Palestinians.

Robinson does things like this simply for publicity and to play to his audience.

He would have known full well what the result would be of refusing to leave after the Police asked him to do so and stay away.

Before anybody starts sticking up for the revolting little streak of p@ss.

Check out his criminal history and rap sheet.

Robinson has a long-standing criminal record. His convictions include for violence, stalking, financial and immigration frauds, drug possession and public order offenses. He has been committed to prison for contempt of court. He has served at least four separate terms of imprisonment: in 2005 for assault, in 2012 for using false travel documents to enter the United States, in 2014 for mortgage fraud, and, in May 2018, Robinson was committed to prison for 13 months for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court, contravening a court order that disallows reporting on such trials while proceedings are ongoing.

Was he there to support the Jewish or Palestinian people?

He was there to cause trouble and inflame the entire situation Dandandat3 because that what he does.

Argued with officers for about 10 minutes outside the coffee shop.

The only side Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is on is his own.

I was watching that crowd and some of their body language showed excitement as if they were riling themselves up for something, or is that normal with that group?

a reply to: quintessentone

I would not even care to speculate on what's normal anymore quintessentone.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon isn't far-right.
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is a complete and utter dickhead.

He is suspected by many to be in the pay of certain vested interests who want the actions and opinions of some to be portrayed in a negative light.

The dude is about as welcome as a fart in a lift(elevator for our American cousins) Freeborn no matter what he's pretending to be this day of the week.

Disregard any articles or person that trots out the maxim "far right." You can be certain of them being patriot hating traitors.

Thanks for the link; so what I gather is that he was supporting the Palestinian people as part of the counter protesters at a march against Antisemitism in London.

Robinson had previously been seen among the crowds of counter-protesters who clashed with police during ceasefire protests held on Armistice Day.

If he was, it will have been for his own purposes Dandandat3.

Can't stress that enough with the fellow in question.

The Man's bread and butter surrounds hatred and fear.

Let's just say in the past he's been found to be not exactly overly fond of our Muslim cousins.

Interesting; if the man is only about furthering his personal purpose why is the world giving him so much attention? Sounds like he is able to effectively manipulate so many for his own interests.

a reply to: Dandandat3

He's a rabble raising purveyor of hate. He's a convicted fraudster.

He's also a massive knobhead.

And that is what compels people, who appear to dislike him, to do his bidding?

a reply to: Dandandat3

Have you met the world lately Dandandat3?

What Robinson is and all about, is clear as day, and its nothing good.

As to attention, well he seeks that in spades.

Which is once again why he will have attempted to make an appearance.

a reply to: Dandandat3

Only his fellow knobheads.

"Attention" takes at least two people; the one who seeks it and the one who gives it.


Sounds like he is a guilty pleasure for so many.

while he is a massive knob and all the other things usually attributed to him.

I don't believe that the Met was right to arrest the big idiot, he hadn't broken a law had he? It seems all they have done is really stir up the anti Islam lot on twitter and suchlike because they never arrested anyone calling for jihad or praisng the nazis and climbing on top of war memorials yet this bloke gets dragged away from his breakfast and pepper sprayed then arrested.

Have a look at the #met threads on twitter.

Utterly dumb idea to do this.

a reply to: SprocketUK

Yeah, i think he will have known the outcome all the same SprocketUK.

He knows he would have been asked to leave and tin paled at the first hint of any sort of refusal.

Police won't have done themselves any favors.

But consider the alternative if they had simply left to his own devices to rile up his supporters.

People like Robinson cannot be allowed to stir the pot, especially when he's doing it for nothing more than to further his own agenda as opposed to actually showing genuine support.

a reply to: Dandandat3

Well, he would know all about being guilty, that's been a fact on many an occasion.

a reply to: andy06shake

I honestly can'yt imagine what he might have achieved if he had been left alone by the plod...He could have walked along with his go pro and posssibly got told to bugger off by a few marchers that would have been about it.

This way though he's got half of twitter on the case spilling hashtags about two tier policing and it does actually look like that is what we have now.
