Right-wing activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known as Tommy Robinson, was arrested at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone on Sunday under schedule seven of the Terrorism Act 2000 for not complying with a stop and search.
A day prior, Robinson had organized a "Uniting The Kingdom" rally between the Royal Courts of Justice and Trafalgar Square in London. The event was met by a coalition of counter-protesters, and a total of nine people were arrested due to clashes with police.
