On the coach to Telford because the neo-fascists (specifically, whatever Tommy Robinson is calling his mob this week) have decided that turning out on Holocaust Memorial Day is a good look. Someone has already tried to sell me a Socialist Worker.

Looking back at these events, I am unsure what I find more shocking: the extent of harassment I received for what seemed like an innocuous opinion piece, or a world-leading counter-extremism think tank bowing to the demands of the harassers.

Tommy Robinson pepper-sprayed by police during his arrest at London’s anti-Semitism march

Police pepper-sprayed English Defence League founder, Tommy Robinson, during an arrest at an anti-Semitism march in London, The Independent reported.

Robinson was detained by dozens of officers outside the Royal Courts of Justice from where the demonstration began on Sunday, after march organisers claimed he would not be welcome.

The 40-year-old man, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, posted a video of his half-closed eyes on social media after police used the synthetic pepper spray. He was still in police custody on Sunday night. A Metropolitan Police spokesman reported:

“The arrested man resisted as officers attempted to put him in handcuffs. He was warned repeatedly before PAVA spray was used. Following its use, officers gained control of him and handcuffs were applied.”

In my case the following lines of my Guardian piece prompted him to confront me:

That the far right has moved from the fringe into the mainstream demonstrates the massive support that white supremacist movements have attracted from digital natives. Their online followership often exceeds that of mainstream political parties: with over 200,000 followers, Tommy Robinson's Twitter account has almost the same number of followers as Theresa May's.

In a desperate attempt to keep them from hurting each other, I offer to go upstairs with Robinson and repeatedly say: 'I'm happy to engage in dialogue.'
