A debate into the arrest of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson)
Arrested whilst live streaming, for disturbing the peace. I personally could not see a crime being committed. In my opinion West Yorkshire Police had no grounds to arrest.
I found the heavy handedness of West Yorkshire Police disturbing, especially as no other News Outlet was reporting on a case in the Public's Interest. I strongly feel, as a British Citizen, that this is an assault on Freedom of Speech and a slap in the face to the Magna Carta.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about arrests and sentences in individual cases are the responsibility of the police and the courts, not the Government and Parliament.
You could start a new petition asking for a specific change in the contempt of court laws, if that’s what you’d like to happen.
