British Activist Tommy Robinson Arrested at Anti-Semitism March
Arrested for Journalism
After weeks of pro-Hamas rallies in London, British activist Tommy Robinson was arrested at a march against anti-semitism in London today. Robinson, known for his controversial journalism, was pepper-sprayed and once again arrested for the crime of journalism.
Police Harassment
According to Urban Scoop, while Tommy was having breakfast with his team, the Metropolitan Police began to harass and threaten him if he did not leave London. Despite the pressure, Tommy stood his ground and joined the march, livestreaming the event.
Violent Arrest
During the march, Tommy was surrounded by around 20 police officers who asked for his home address in front of the media. Tommy, confused, asked what he had done wrong, to which the officers had no answer. The situation escalated quickly as the officers handcuffed Tommy, pulled his arms behind his back, and pepper-sprayed him directly in the eyes. Tommy's distress was visible as his eyes looked scolded and he was in pain.
Unknown Location
Tommy was then bundled into a police riot van and taken to an unknown police station. As of now, his whereabouts are still unknown.
Social Media Outrage
The arrest of Tommy Robinson has caused a storm on social media, with 'Tommy Robinson' and '#TwoTierPolicing' trending. The entire British media is covering his arrest, and support for Tommy is pouring in.
Police Statement
The Metropolitan Police released a statement insisting that Tommy's presence was causing "fear for other participants." However, many are questioning the reasoning behind his arrest, suggesting it is a suppression of journalism.

Traveling is my stimulant. It’s my way of stepping into new narratives, experiencing different cultures, and appreciating the beautiful tapestry of life. Each new place I visit fuels my creativity and broadens my perspective, which I pour back into my work at NewsRoomFeed.
When I’m not on the road with Rocky or lost in a gripping news story, you’ll find me on the tennis court or cycling around Denver. These hobbies keep me grounded and offer a refreshing escape from the digital universe.
