Tommy Robinson Pleads Not Guilty to Schedule 7 Terrorism Charge; March 2025 Trial Awaits...

18th November 2024

Tommy Robinson, a prominent political activist, has pleaded not guilty to charges relating to Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 during a court appearance at Westminster Magistrates Court last week.

The charges allegedly relate to an incident in Folkestone on July 28 this year, where officers stopped Robinson requesting access to his mobile phone.

Robinson, known for his outspoken views on free speech and government overreach within the United Kingdom, was reportedly accused of failing to provide his phone's PIN during the stop. The case is now set to go to trial in March 2025, where Robinson intends to challenge the charge vigorously.

His recent court appearance follows Robinson's sentencing last month, where he received an 18-month custodial sentence for contempt of court. The case involved breaching a High Court order from 2021 relating to a previous High Court injunction. Robinson's legal team argued that his actions were driven by his commitment to his principles and his fight against what he views as unjust restrictions on free expression.

Despite criticism from some legal authorities, Robinson's supporters believe he's being unfairly targeted for his willingness to speak out on controversial issues. The activist’s legal team highlighted his commitment to exposing what he sees as systemic failures in the justice system, particularly when it comes to the protection of vulnerable individuals.

Justice Johnson, in passing sentence, noted that Robinson's actions were deliberate, but reiterated that legal injunctions must be respected by all. Robinson's supporters argue that his case highlights a broader issue regarding the balance between freedom of speech and legal restrictions, with many seeing him as a figure willing to push back against what they perceive as increasing censorship occurring within the United Kingdom, as the UK marches towards what many claim is venturing ever closer towards a Totalitarian State.

Robinson, who appeared in court wearing a grey suit and white shirt, has consistently maintained that his actions are motivated by his belief in standing up against what he sees as an overreach of judicial power. His latest trial is expected to be closely watched by his supporters across the globe and those interested in the ongoing debate over freedom of expression in the UK.

As the trial date approaches, Robinson's supporters are rallying behind him in substantial numbers, viewing this as another test of his commitment to challenging what they see as unjust legal constraints & a corrupt justice system. Many believe that Robinson's actions, while controversial, are rooted in a desire to defend the principles of free speech and accountability within the justice system, something that many see as 'corrupt' & operating a 'two tier' policy.
