Anti-migrant activist ‘Danny Tommo’ faces trial for ‘entering restricted zone at Dover port to film and shout at arriving boats’

Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, will stand trial next year over allegations that he entered restricted areas at Dover port and shouted at or filmed boats arriving with migrants. He denies all six charges, and the case concerns alleged trespass and abusive behaviour at facilities used to receive small boat arrivals.

The charges relate to incidents on 31 March, 1 April and 6 April; the trial is scheduled for 1 to 3 June, with a review hearing on 18 November. Thomas is being held at HMP Winchester. He also faces separate allegations of criminal damage to a migrant dinghy and refusing to disclose his phone PIN, which he denies.
