A man who assaulted two police officers at the Free Tommy Robinson protest has been charged.

Three officers who were policing the #FreeTommy march and a counter protest in Cambridge on Saturday, July 21 were exposed to red dye.

The officers were doused with water after the unknown substance was sprayed on them.

Police arrested a 28-year-old man, Alan Phillips, at the scene and he will appear at Cambridge Magistrates' Court on August 21.

A Cambridgeshire police spokesman said: "Alan Phillips, 28, of Chesterton Road in Cambridge, has been charged with two counts of assaulting a constable in the execution of their duty, two counts of criminal damage and one count of possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

Nowhere in the article does McMenemy clarify whether he was marching with the Free Tommy faction, or the counter-demonstrators. My guess is the latter.

Click on the imbedded link in the first line which is "Free Tommy Robinson protest"

Freeing Tommy Robinson is just a waste of time because he will commit another crime and get thrown in jail again. And again. And Again.

Done as you asked. And it sounds like a plant. One lone protester comes out of the Free Tommy Robinson protestors, approaches the Stand Up To Racism protesters, and just happens to have red dye on him that he throws at the cops, instead of mixing it up with the counterprotestors. This screams “SET UP!”

I can read his Wikipedia page and he has been convicted 9 times. He is a common criminal.

Do you think this current arrest is justified? Exactly what crime , in your mind, did he commit?

So was Joseph, not to get too biblical in my comparisons. I gave you two excellent You Tube feeds, and there are many more that you could look up. But you rely on Wiki, the ignorant man’s guide to misinformation.

You didn’t answer my question. Why do you despise this guy so much?
