Tommy Robinson has been arrested yet again, this time using powers afforded to police under the Terrorism Act 2000.
He is guilty of organizing a massively successful, peaceful protest of 50,000, where no monuments were vandalized, no Antifa were present, and attendees even dared… https://t.co/7970SnbF67 pic.twitter.com/LvMltDvbv1

Whatever your thoughts on Tommy Robinson, this looks like pure two-tiered policing
Remember, there were ZERO arrests for projecting antisemitic messages onto Big Ben, yet Tommy is arrested for showing a movie at exactly the same spot
Whose side are the cops on? https://t.co/Tjc39QdO3Q
