Not sure about that; his supporters claimed he's been arrested under terrorism legislation (Section 7 maybe). Guardian link, but available elsewhere
I think he was already due in court tomorrow and/or Thursday for contempt from the last time he showed the video.
The MET have already confirmed that they weren't the arresting police force, and that they didn't know in advance that the video was being repeated.
Not sure which force have arrested him, or if it's actually true anyway.

Thank you for that 🙏

Going by Yaxley-Lennon's other antics, probably all of it.

 

I love how people still think they're being edgy using this name 🤣

Instead of  his  made up "man of the people" name to disguise his previous convictions,

Are you sure that's why he changed his name?

Looks like it was Kent police responsible for the arrest; seems odd he was at the border, when he's due in court Monday; I wonder if he was heading for Spain on an Irish passport
Tommy Robinson arrested in Kent under Terrorism Act  Guardian
Far-right activist detained by police at Channel tunnel in Folkestone and later released on bail

Kent police said on Sunday night that a man, 41, had been detained at the Channel tunnel in Folkestone under schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, which allows police to stop, examine and search passengers at ports, airports and international rail terminals.

He was subsequently arrested “for frustration of a schedule 7 examination”, the force said, and was later released on bail while inquiries continue.

 

Looks like it was schedule 7 as I guessed earlier   Counter Terrorism Police Website

Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 provides police officers with unique powers to examine people who pass through the United Kingdom’s borders. It allows them to stop,  question and when necessary, search and detain individuals and goods travelling through the UK’s borders to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The examination of an individual under Schedule 7 is not conditional upon having grounds to suspect that person of being engaged in terrorism, but the decision must not be arbitrary. There are a range of safeguards and measures in place to ensure appropriate use of the powers.

 

Around The World In 80 Lies: The Story of Tommy Robinson’s Libels, Lies and Luxury Lifestyle   HNH

In July 2021, after famously losing a libel case and being forced into bankruptcy, a High Court injunction forbade Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) from spreading his lies. He was categorically told that if repeated his libellous claims about a Syrian refugee schoolboy he could face prison.

This is the story of how Lennon ignored the injunction and released his documentary, Silenced, all while living an impossibly lavish lifestyle in luxury hotels, private villas and secluded mansions around the world.

But... - that is his name, although he changed it, for the reason @Longcol gives above.

Everyone knows it's his name, so what, certain individuals seem to get something out of repeating it.

Apparently Tommy's done a runner.

 

Tommy Robinson has left the country after committing “flagrant” contempt of court relating to a film played at a protest in central London, the High Court has been told.

 

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was due to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday for a hearing in his latest contempt of court case but was not in attendance.

 

The Solicitor General launched legal action against Robinson in June over an alleged breach of a court order after he lost a libel battle in 2021.

 

But Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, said it is believed Robinson left the jurisdiction hours after being released on unconditional bail following his arrest over the weekend.

 

Mr Justice Johnson issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest but ordered that it not be carried out “until early October” to allow Robinson time to indicate that he would attend the next hearing voluntarily or to apply to “set aside” the warrant.

 

Mr Payter said Robinson was arrested following a “large demonstration” in central London, which featured the showing of a film that was “central to this application” and showed a “flagrant” and “admitted” breach of the court order.
