Video in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3xxrEcLYZQThe former leader of right-wing group the English Defence League has been arrested after he tried “to video Muslims” outside a court.
Tommy Robinson posted a video on his official Facebook account on Wednesday morning (today), in which he claimed the arrest was being made.
He said: “It’s 4.32 and the police are at my house, and I’m being arrested for going to a court case in Canterbury and trying to video the Muslim paedophiles.”
The clip then cuts footage of two police officers stood in what appears to be a kitchen, one of whom explains to Robinson that he can’t use his phone.
A tweet posted from Robinson’s verified Twitter account said that he was arrested “on charges relating to attempted journalism.”
Kent Police confirmed an arrest was made.
A spokesman said: “On the morning of Wednesday May 10, 2017 officers attended an address in Luton, Bedfordshire, and arrested a 34-year-old man for contempt of court.
Any filming and recording of courts and court precincts is illegal in the UK under section 41 of the Criminal Justice Act 1925 and the Contempt of Court Act.
Kent Live reported that Robinson and a cameraman were at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday claiming they wanted to speak to the defendants of an ongoing rape trial
For people who don't know who he is - he's a white man, living in England, who claims mainstream media in the UK is failing to reflect the number, and seriousness, of crimes committed by Muslims and/or Islamic migrants living in the UK.
He and his team of "activists" believe that those charged in connection with the crimes are receiving little to no form of punishment in relation to the damage caused by the crimes, which involve sex trafficking, and gang raping underage teenage girls, with some of accused walking off Scot-free. One such claim is that one victim, who was only 11 years old, had the letter 'M' branded onto her skin with a hot iron, after being raped repeatedly, to supposedly symbolize that the victim was now "the property of Mohammed". Another such incident involved one girl having her tongue nailed to a table.
Victims supposedly aren't receiving what he believes is appropriate justice for the acts committed against them, and that mainstream media outlets are purposely not reporting on the crimes to avoid fueling racial hatred and that crime statistics for the demographic are effectively being covered up.
I should point out that Tommy has made an effort in recent days/weeks to rubbish claims that he is "right-wing" and a white supremacist, appearing on the BBC's 'Daily Politics' show to challenge an article published by Muslim counter-extremist group 'Quilliam' where one of their reporters strongly hinted that he was. Quilliam CEO Haras Rafiq also appeared on the show and denounced the implication. Haras even claims to have had Tommy at his house for dinner, and was quoted saying - "Tommy is not a white supremacist. The Quilliam position is that Tommy is not a white supremacist."
Despite this, he's made no secret of his stance on what he believes is the Islamification of the UK. This is certainly not the first time he he and his fellow "activists" have been filmed locking horns with known hate preachers and radical Islamists on the streets of London and various parts of mainland UK.
I won't claim to know anything about the right to film those walking to and from court houses, but I know Tommy isn't the first person to have done this, and yet he's been arrested.
Thoughts?
