Kent Police did not identify the political campaigner, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, but confirmed that a 41-year-old had been arrested on Sunday.
The force said: “On Sunday July 28 2024, a 41-year-old man was detained by Kent Police officers under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 at the Channel Tunnel in Folkestone.
“He was subsequently arrested for frustration of a schedule 7 examination. He has since been released on bail while inquiries are ongoing.”
Under schedule seven of the Terrorism Act, police are allowed 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”.
The person who is detained can be held for up to six hours, is legally obliged to answer questions and must provide the password or Pin for electronic devices, or be held to have committed a criminal offence if they refuse.
He was apparently running away to avoid a court case.
I suppose lots of people have murdered children that arent terrorists. Most people that protect children probably arent terrorists. I cant see where this is going. Although I am not bothered what laws the police use to stop people that are running off abroad, in an arrempt to avoid British justice.

Bizarre to think there are some people who see Tommy Robinson as their hero.
