Tommy Robinson Remanded in Custody Before Protest

Tommy Robinson, the far-right activist whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been remanded into custody and will miss a major protest he organized in London. He faces contempt of court allegations related to airing a film at a previous demonstration, as well as charges for failing to provide his mobile phone PIN under the Terrorism Act. Supporters are still expected to gather for the protest, which will be countered by anti-fascist demonstrators from Stand Up to Racism. The Metropolitan Police will maintain a significant presence to separate the two groups during the events. Robinson, who has previously fled the UK, will appear at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday for a hearing that could lead to serious consequences for him. His absence from the protest marks a significant moment in the ongoing tensions surrounding his political activities.
