Tommy Robinson ‘Stopped At Border In Bentley With £13,000 In Cash’

ByMF Jones

Tommy Robinson is in court this week charged under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000, after he failed to provide a PIN number when requested after being stopped at customs who thought he was behaving suspiciously.

Tommy was driving a Bentley that wasn’t his and carrying £13,370 and €1,910 in cash when he was stopped at the entry to the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone.

He failed to provide his mobile phone PIN to police at the scene on July 28 last year, telling officers: ‘Not a chance, bruv. You look like c*** so you ain’t having it.’

Tommy, whose legal bill is being covered by Elon Musk, told police he was going to Benidorm for a couple days, and would not hand over his phone’s PIN because it had ‘journalistic material’ on it, containing information about ‘vulnerable girls.’

Prosecutor Jo Morris told Westminster Magistrates’ Court: ‘The process by which journalistic material would be protected was explained to him.’

Under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, police are permitted 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’.

Those stopped are legally obliged to answer questions and must provide the password or PIN for electronic devices. If they refuse, they can be charged with terror offences.

If found guilty, Tommy faces up to three months in jail and/or a £2,500 fine.

It’s funny really, you would think Tommy Robinson of all people would appreciate tougher border controls and border forces doing their jobs properly. The guy lists Spain as his primary residence, travels on a foreign passport and is carrying £13,000 in cash which he claims are “donations.” Come on now, does it get any more hypocritical than that?

At the same time, I can understand not wanting to give police access to your phone without seeking legal advice first. Still, terrorism laws make that a criminal offence and even asking for time to consult a lawyer will be used against you.

The trial continues…
