Former leader of the English Defence League Tommy Robinson was charged under the Terrorism Act after handing himself in to Folkestone Police Station on Friday.
The charge, related to failing to provide the PIN to his mobile phone, falls under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, which allows authorities to question individuals at UK ports for potential links to terrorism.
Robinson was remanded in custody and will appear at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday.
The arrest comes ahead of a major rally of UK patriots in London on Saturday (local time), where police anticipate tens of thousands of attendees, with counter-protests expected from opposition groups.
Robinson’s detention follows an outstanding warrant from July, when he missed a contempt of court hearing.
Addressing supporters outside the police station, Robinson said his arrest was “totally controlled media” and insisted he was only “reporting the truth.”
The Metropolitan Police, meanwhile, are preparing for possible unrest at Saturday’s march, which Robinson’s supporters are framing as an effort to “Unite the Kingdom.” He is also set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in November regarding previous charges of contempt of court.

And to think his is where policing was conceived
The Peelers
These British cops are so pathetic they aren’t even a joke
Scared to stop any ethic minority for fear of being labelled ‘racist’
Even though there a knife attack in the UK every hour sometimes more
They’d rather harass some soft target like a journalist doing his job in getting the truth out and in combating misinformation disinformation and distorted narrative

Free TOMMY
Tom Robinson is a pro-israel zionist.
He gets his financial support from the jewish/zionist lobby.
They support anything that furthers the destruction of social and political forms.
Tommy is a political prisoner. He has broken no law. He has merely reported Starmer’s shortcomings.
What an absolute shambles the UK government is.
In just a few short months, Starmer has ruined the nation and himself. You simply cannot legislate obedience to accept such mass and migration from violent countries. You cannot legislate to imprison people under the guise of hate speech when they are opposed to your global plan.
