Daniel Thomas in court accused of entering migrant site

Thomas admitted one restricted-zone count and denies several other charges tied to alleged disorder and harassment at the Dover site.

  • On Friday, anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas, also known as Danny Tommo, appeared via video link at Margate Magistrates' Court in Kent facing charges related to entering a migrant processing centre in Dover.
  • Court documents show Thomas pleaded guilty to entering a restricted zone at Western Jet Foil on March 31, while denying further charges of harassment and obstructing lawful activity in April.
  • Thomas is also accused of failing to disclose his mobile phone PIN to police, an allegation his barrister described as "politically charged and fundamentally flawed."
  • Earlier this week, Thomas was refused bail in a separate case involving the alleged slashing of a migrant dinghy in the English Channel; he remains in custody pending trial on March 1, 2027.
  • District Judge William Nelson scheduled a further case management hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court for November 4, with Thomas facing up to 10 years' imprisonment if convicted of criminal damage exceeding £5,000.
