Tommy Robinson ‘detained by counter terrorism police’ at airport

Tommy Robinson has said he has been detained at an airport by counter terrorism police.

A post on his X account from an account admin on Wednesday afternoon reads: “Tommy has been detained again, at an airport by Counter Terrorism Police. They will never stop trying to destroy this man. Why are they so scared?”

This would not be the first time the far-right anti-Islam activist and convicted thug has been stopped by police at an airport.

Back in June, Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was stopped at Heathrow under counter terrorism laws and had his phones seized.
