Tommy Robinson winning in Court

24. april 2024 - International - af Aia Fog

Following a Kafkaesque arrest and 6 months of being barred from entering London, Tommy Robinson yesterday came out winning a case in court, which should never have been raised in a democratic state, governed by law.

If the police turn up in numbers at a café, where you sit peacefully and quiet eating your breakfast, ordering you to leave the city (London) prohibiting you to participate in a planned and public demonstration against antisemitism -


If 20 officers handcuff you while you are working as a journalist -


If a police officer pulls your head backwards and sprays you in your face with pepper spray while you are fixated -


If the police issue a prohibition against approaching London and arrest you while you are celebrating your daughter’s birthday -


If the court on this background hurries a case, which may send you to jail for several months – 


 - then one must necessarily conclude that one is living in a Kafkaesque hell where rule of law as well as what one thought was unalienable citizen rights is an illusion, and that everything, which was meant to protect one, turns against one attacking and annihilating one’s life and freedom.


But even if the English police is provenly standing on its last leg and far removed from its former glory, it is yet too early to carry it to it’s grave as Tommy Robinson last Tuesday won his case over against police and the prosecution. This followed two days of court sessions which on long stretches were almost unbelievably absurd. The case of the prosecutor was non-existent and fell apart almost before having begun – strangely enough willingly conceded by the persons involved: not a single one of those 20 officers who handcuffed Tommy Robinson, pepper-sprayed him and dragged him away from the November demonstration were able to produce pictures from their bodycams. These were either closed, played over, lend out to other persons – or out of order.


There was no report written on the procedure, which was explained by the responsible officer by his being dyslexic. 


The timeline of the procedure had been dabbled with and at least one of the officers in charge were not where he was supposed to be – and had therefore no jurisdiction.


On this background it would be too much to say that the English juridical system is still functioning as this case should never have been tried while it would have shown the complete implosion of English law had Tommy Robinson been found guilty. 


He won – after 6 months in hell – and he is now at liberty to move around in his capital again, just like being free to visit the Free Press Society at the ‘Folkemøde’ in Bornholm [a major public political assembly on the small easternmost island of Bornholm in Denmark] in June.


Everything is fine. Until next time.
