Anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas – known to his supporters as Danny Tommo – has been remanded into custody as he faces trial next year accused of criminal damage of a boat in the English Channel.
Court appearance via videolink
The 37-year-old, whose address was withheld by the court at a previous hearing, appeared via videolink from prison for a hearing at Portsmouth Crown Court on Tuesday wearing a grey t-shirt and holding a copy of the Holy Bible.
He had already pleaded not guilty to a charge of criminal damage after he allegedly slashed a boat in the English Channel with an emergency responder on board on September 22.
Additional charge and trial date
He has also denied failing to disclose the Pin to his phone to police, under Section 53 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
A provisional trial date was set for March 1 2027 at Tuesday’s hearing.
