Not sure why Tommy Robinson would think he’d be allowed to freely travel to Western-aligned countries.
Seems pretty stupid.
The media is distorting the story.
Tommy Robinson claims he has been arrested in Mexico, separated from his children and faces deportation for “national security reasons”.
The far-right English Defence League (EDL) co-founder, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has shared a video of himself allegedly being detained by security at Cancun Airport.
In the footage, posted on his Telegram account, the 39-year-old says he flew to Mexico with his three children for an Easter holiday but was detained at the airport.
The children have been left with Robinson’s friend, he said, and their mother is now flying out to collect them.
Robinson tells the camera: “I have been arrested, separated from my kids and now I’m being deported as a matter of national security” as he shows what he says is a security holding cell.He is told the reason for his arrest is “confidential” and has come directly from Mexico City, in an interaction with what appears to be an airport staff member.
(See below.)
“I’ve never broken a law here. All I do at home is talk about Islam”, says Robinson.
“I’ve never caused a problem, landed for what is clearly a family holiday, and I’ve been arrested, detained and separated from my kids.”
In another clip, he complains about it being hard for him to live in England because he can’t open a bank account or rent a house.
Here’s that video.

I mean, at least the Mexicans let him keep his phone.
They also said that the UK told them to arrest him.
The UK Government contacted Mexican immigration and requested they refuse Tommy Robinson entry. Why?

The Mexicans were pretty nice and just apologizing to him basically.
The media is not reporting on those statements from Mexican immigration officials that it’s the UK that caused him to be arrested in Mexico by telling them he was some kind of criminal.
The UK could just as easily have not let him on the plane.
Instead they let him fly to Mexico, then demand his arrest and deportation?
It’s not possible he’s not on a watch list, so they would have known he was leaving the country, and could have just said “bruv, you ain’t going to no Mexcio, bruv.”
So they wanted some kind of spectacle, apparently to send a message to any thought criminals that they can’t ever have peace.
