Tommy Robinson charged under the Terrorism Act | LBC
Tommy Robinson has been charged under the Terrorism Act after handing himself in to police.
Robinson, 41, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was pictured attending Folkestone Police Station in Kent ahead of his expected arrest on Friday afternoon.
It comes as police brace for disorder ahead of Saturday's far-right march in London, with thousands expected to attend.
Police confirmed on Friday that Robinson had been arrested on "one count of failing to provide the PIN to his mobile phone".
Under the law, the police have the right to stop anyone passing through a UK port "to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism".
Robinson has been remanded in custody and is now due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court on outstanding charges on Monday.
