Summary

Far-right activist Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, was arrested on 24 September after allegedly slashing a dinghy in the English Channel while a rescue crew member was aboard. The dinghy was empty of migrants at the time but had been used to transport asylum seekers. Thomas was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage with intent to endanger life and endangering the safety of a vessel. He pleaded not guilty to charges of criminal damage and failing to disclose his phone's PIN in Basingstoke Magistrates' Court on 25 September and was remanded in custody. A crown court trial is scheduled for 29 September at Portsmouth Crown Court. Hundreds of protesters gathered outside a police investigation centre in Basingstoke. Thomas has received support from some political figures, while others have condemned his actions as dangerous.
