Tommy Robinson cleared of refusing to leave march after police paperwork 'wrong date' blunder

The senior Metropolitan Police officer who signed the dispersal order admitted it may not have been lawful.

Tommy Robinson has been cleared of breaching a dispersal order after a judge ruled the power had not been legally authorised by police.

The controversial activist, 41, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley Lennon, was arrested at a march against antisemitism near the Royal Courts of Justice in London, where the demonstration began, after organisers said he would not be welcome at the event.

During his arrest, officers sprayed Mr Robinson with synthetic pepper spray and handcuffed him.

 

I am not satisfied there was a legal authorisation. There is no case for you to answer

DISTRICT JUDGE DANIEL STERNBERG
