Far-Right UK Activist Daniel Thomas Arrested After Slashing Dinghy in English Channel
Daniel Thomas, a 37-year-old far-right anti-immigration activist known as 'Danny Tommo,' has been arrested in the UK. The arrest follows a live-streamed incident where Thomas appeared to slash an empty dinghy in the English Channel with a knife. A French coastguard official was reportedly still on board the dinghy at the time. Thomas was detained at a petrol station and is currently in custody. He faces charges including criminal damage with intent to endanger life, endangering the safety of a ship, and offenses under the Aviation and Maritime Security Act and the Merchant Shipping Act. The incident occurred after approximately 50 migrants, who had traveled from Normandy, were taken to Dover for processing. Thomas, founder of the 'Patriot Platform,' has organized anti-immigration protests in the past, rallying support for what he terms 'mass resistance' to 'take our country back.'
