Tommy Robinson kicked out of London restaurant because ‘staff didn't want to serve him'
Tommy Robinson's entourage is upset after being kicked out of a restaurant for making staff 'feel uncomfortable'.
The right wing activist – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – was out eating at the Hawksmoor restaurant near Regent Street, central London, before staff realised who he was.
Footage taken by EDL member Guramit Singh Kalirai, who was dining with Robinson, shows the restaurant manager explaining 'staff felt uncomfortable'.
Kalirai replied: 'Is it because of the colour of my skin?'
The manager responded: 'No, no, no. We have a duty of care to our members of staff. We like to look after our people, as I'm sure you can understand.
'I'm very sorry. I hope it hasn't inconvenienced you.'
The footage was posted to X, with Kalirai saying: 'Just been kicked out of Hawksmoor steak house for no reason. Literally just had our starters.'
The manager could be seen handing Robinson a business card with the CEO of Hawksmoor's details on it 'if he has any questions', and told him the restaurant will cover the cost of the drinks.
Metro has contacted the Hawksmoor for comment.
On Thursday Robinson appeared at Westminster Magistrates where he denied two counts of harassment causing fear of violence in August 2024.
Prosecutors said he harassed two news reporters, and sharing multiple posts about them on his social media.
Robinson was released from prison last month after he was jailed for repeatedly lied about a Syrian refugee.
But he had his sentence reduced, and was released from HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes.

Moment officer tells Christian street preacher 'it's not right' outside station
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A British Transport Police officer was captured on film telling a group of Christians to stop preaching outside a busy London station. The group had been on the concourse between Kings Cross Station and St Pancras International when the officer told the religious group, 'It's so loud'. 'These people just want to do their journey, they're not coming here to listen to you,' the officer said. Preacher Mon B, who leads Mad 4 Jesus Ministries, asked if she was performing a happy song, and if it would be okay for them to be present outside the station. The officer then began to walk away from the discussion, before adding: 'I just think it's all wrong.' The moment happened shortly after the group were allegedly told they couldn't stand in front of the barriers near the station. Metro has contacted BTP for more information. Preachers have previously had run-ins with police – one preacher who was forcibly stopped and moved on by police for 'attracting a crowd' with his public speaking and singing was awarded £1,250. Dominic Muir, who runs Christian charities Now Believe and Jesus Fields, was preaching and singing Amazing Grace in Blandford, Dorset, on April 22, 2020, when the UK was in its first lockdown. A police officer asked him to move on and then grabbed him by the wrist to get him to leave. Dorset Police believe the officer used 'reasonable force', but they reached an out-of-court settlement paying Dominic £1,250 in damages and costs. Onlookers filmed the encounter, and a video shows the preacher speaking about the gospel on the back of a truck. More Trending The 44-year-old said at the time: 'I couldn't believe it, there I was out bringing the message of the gospel, the message of hope, people were listening and a police man came and put a stop to what I was doing. 'Suddenly, out of nowhere gets on the back of my vehicle, grabs my arm strongly. 'It was humiliating. It was intimidating. It was shocking. I felt like a criminal. And the whole outreach, the message of salvation, was totally halted. 'The reason why this case matters so much is right now we are in the middle of a pandemic where people are committing suicide, there's mass depression, domestic violence, people are losing their jobs.

'I wish more shows were like this': Your favourite underrated crime dramas
Police procedurals, legal dramas and Scandi noir. Whatever your poison, you've probably binged one or two TV crime shows in your time. Line of Duty, The Fall and Broadchurch are just a few of the most popular in the genre, keeping viewers gripped episode after episode with their complex conspiracies and sudden twists. But while they're certainly deserving of the praise, sometimes the most bingeable series are those that fly under the radar, despite glowing reviews. We asked Metro readers to share their favourite underrated crime dramas, and these are the lesser-known series they recommend adding to your watch list… One user, called Evan_Underscore, heaped praise on Mr Inbetween, an Australian TV series that follows a criminal for hire. 'The dialogues and the situations feel so realistic that everything feels theatrical compared to it,' they wrote. 'It's also great in mixing terrible and funny in a way that they only complement each other.' Another user, wobbsey, recommended Giri/Haji, a BBC production from 2019 that is available on Netflix. In their glowing assessment of the series, they wrote: 'Set in Japan and the UK. Family loyalty and conflict. Yakuza mobsters. Cops. It's suspenseful and moving. Gorgeous cinematography which is something I rarely even notice!' They added: 'The last episode is particularly stunning. Not enough people know this show, under appreciated gem.' Meanwhile, AltruisticCableCar is clearly a fan of Scandi noir, recommending three Swedish crime dramas. They suggested Wallander, both the original series and the British remake, though they added 'I prefer the remake'. They went on 'Also Glaskupan (The Glass Dome). Just recently watched this and whoa. Åremorden (The Åre Murders) is another one.' Other lesser-known crime series recommended by Metro readers included Damages, starring Glenn Close, 2019 BBC series The Capture and American police procedural Major Crimes.

The Worricker Trilogy — The three films star Bill Nighy as MI5 officer Johnny Worricker, whose life is turned upside down when his boss and best friend dies suddenly. Read all about these underrated TV thrillers. This dark comedy follows Ray Shoesmith (Scott Ryan), a father who's struggling to juggle his relationship, parental responsibilities, friendships and a sick brother — all while working as a criminal for hire. Inspired by the cult film The Magician, in which a hitman hires a student to document his life, Mr Inbetween has proved extremely popular with viewers, earning a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and a near-perfect 98% audience score. Fans have called it 'criminally underrated', with many comparing it to smash hit series Breaking Bad. Where to watch: Seasons one to three are available to stream on Disney Plus. Giri/Haji's perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score speaks for itself. Cruelly axed by BBC and Netflix after just one series (despite being nominated for three Baftas), this series is a true hidden gem. It follows a Tokyo detective (Takehiro Hira) who is searching for his missing brother in London's underworld, after he became mixed up with the Yakuza, a Japanese organised crime syndicate, and accused of murder. If you're a fan of Netflix's Black Doves, which stormed up the streamer's most-watched chart in December last year, Giri/Haji is worth checking out, as both dramas were created by screenwriter Joe Barton. In a review, The New Yorker called the series 'violently stylish' and a 'sexy police thriller', while the Daily Telegraph called it 'bold, bewitching and slightly bonkers'. Where to watch: All eight episodes are available to stream on Netflix. The BBC's Wallander stars Kenneth Branagh as a Swedish detective who investigates a series of gruesome murders. The series, which first aired on BBC One in 2008 and is an adaptation of the mystery novels by Henning Mankell, has been hailed as 'wonderful' and 'terrific', with plenty of praise for Branagh as the lead. Viewer Anthony Pearce wrote in a Google review: 'Having watched this series for the second time I can only say it was as wonderful and fantastically acted as I had remembered. Kenneth Branagh is undoubtedly one of our finest actors'. And Anne Norton added: 'Wallander was terrific!!! My first Swedish crime show, and it didn't disappoint. Kenneth Branagh's acting is just outstanding'. Last month, Variety reported that Wallander is set to return to screens in a reboot, which will see detective Kurt Wallander, now 42, struggle to get his life under control, having separated from his wife and become estranged from his daughter. Where to watch: Series one to four are available for free on BBC iPlayer. A much more recent release, The Glass Dome (Glaskupan in Swedish) landed on Netflix in April this year. The six-part series follows a criminologist (Léonie Vincent) who returns to her small hometown and 'becomes wrapped up in the investigation of a missing girl and its haunting similarities to her own childhood abduction'. Perhaps less of a hidden gem than the others on this list, it quickly climbed the ranks on Netflix to peak at number two on the streamer's weekly round-up of most-watched shows. But, as non-English language shows can sometimes go overlooked by British viewers, The Glass Dome remains unfamiliar to some. Don't let the language barrier put you off, though, it's been praised as 'gripping' and 'tanatalising' by critics, while viewers have called it 'haunting' and 'brilliant'. Where to watch: Stream all six episodes on Netflix. Another hit from Sweden, The Åre Murders is based on a popular series of books by author Viveca Sten. The Nordic noir follows a detective who has been suspended from duty (Carla Sehn), seeking solace in the idyllic but eerie ski resort town of Åre. But she soon becomes wrapped up in investigating the mysterious disappearance of a young woman. Netflix subscribers clearly love a Scandi drama, as this series achieved a whopping 11,000,000 views in one week when it landed in February this year. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics praised the drama as well as its Scandinavian setting. Common Sense Media's review read: 'This is an edge-of-your-seat crime series that spans two separate murders in one small, snowy, Swedish town.' And Decider wrote: 'The Åre Murders features all the hallmarks of the Nordic noir genre… throw in some fantastic location shots of Sweden's mountainous north, and we're all the way in on this investigation.' Where to watch: Stream all five episodes on Netflix. Glenn Close stars as Patty Hewes, a brilliant but ruthless lawyer whose life is changed forever when she hires a young, ambitious protégé (Rose Byrne). Though the series focuses on the complex relationship between the two professionals, it also charts the cases they work on — taking a three-pronged approach as a legal thriller, gripping murder mystery and an adrenaline-fueled character study. The series has an impressive 91% average score on Rotten Tomatoes, with series three and four both receiving a 100% rating. A review from the Los Angeles Times called Damages 'one of the best shows on television', while New York Daily News wrote 'few shows on television are written and acted with such fascinating mystery.' Where to watch: Available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video from £2.49. Starring Callum Turner, Ben Miles and Paapa Essiedu, this BBC crime thriller explores the 'terrifying world of deepfake technology' through the eyes of an 'ambitious young Detective Inspector' (played by Holliday Grainger). The first season sees a soldier's past conviction of murder, which was overturned due to flawed video evidence, come back to haunt him, while season two follows a new conspiracy involving Chinese spies and a British politician. Fans have praised it as 'stunningly good', with one anonymous user writing on Rotten Tomatoes: 'Absolutely gripping show. Moves at a great pace with great actors and a great storyline. Twists and turns and super realistic to the current world.' Another said: 'One of the best series I've ever watched. Thought the first season was good but the 2nd takes it to the next level. Need more series like this. The ending was sublime, left me utterly speechless.' Where to watch: Series one and two are available on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. If you're a fan of American police procedural The Closer, you might also want to check out Major Crimes, which is set in the same police department. Captain Sharon Raydor (Mary McDonnell) leads the team in the LAPD's Major Crimes Division, and is attempting to repair burned bridges and win the trust of her colleagues while dealing with high-profile crimes and building air-tight cases. More Trending On Google reviews, Sherel Hallford wrote of the series: 'Such an Outstanding show! Characters and actors are admirable and realistic. The storylines [are] so enjoyable. Mary McDonnell portrayed Captain Raydor so well, showing dignity, integrity, strength and intelligence.' And Lesly S called Major Crimes 'one of my favorite shows of all time.' They added: 'This show was a classic and I wish more shows were like this.' View More » Where to watch: Available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video from £2.49. Got a story?

Last 'LGBT free zones' in Poland are finally scrapped - what happens next?
When Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski declared in 2019 that the city is LGBTQ+ friendly, he probably didn't think it would launch a campaign of discrimination across Poland. With a large percentage of the population identifying as Catholic, and a history of largely right-wing governments, it seemed an unlikely place for its capital to be declared as LGBTQ+ friendly. A wave of homophobia then swept across the country and by 2020, more than 100 anti-LGBT resolutions popped up in the south and east of Poland. Activists started protesting, branding the areas as 'LGBTQ+ free zones.' Last month, in the town of Łańcut, officials announced they had finally abolished the last of the LGBTQ+ free zones after more than five years – signalling hope for the future. But with another right-wing president elected and an MP kicked out of parliament recently for trashing an LGBTQ+ exhibition, the community is fearful of what's still to come. Olga Pawłowska-Plesińska described her creeping dread when the LGBTQ+ free zones started being enacted. 'At first, we thought that it was a harmless act by a small group of fanatics that would end quickly,' she told Metro. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! 'Soon we realised discriminatory resolutions spread around the country.' The 38-year-old from Warsaw has been with the Campaign Against Homophobia (KPH) for three years, but has been an activist for 15 years. 'In 2019, our community became the main scapegoat of the parliamentary election campaign, and was used as a means to create and manage social fear through public media,' she said. 'We were all astonished and terrified. The spread of anti-LGBT resolutions was overwhelming and significantly raised the levels of stress among the community. 'Even though the resolutions had mostly symbolic meaning and didn't lead to any practical changes, on the psychological level they had an enormous impact on the LGBTQ+ community. 'Imagine that one day you wake up in the morning to learn that your city, county, or district has declared itself to be a zone free from you.' The bills' impacts on people who lived in the zones couldn't have been more real. Data gathered by KPH found LGBT+ people living in the zones experienced more suicidal thoughts, increasing by 16%. Ko Natoński is from one of the regions which introduced an anti-LGBT resolution. The 24-year-old moved away from Łańcucki Powiat to study in Warsaw in 2019, a couple of months after the LGBT free zone was established, but said it didn't play a part in their decision to leave. They told Metro: 'Many of my friends and I moved to Warsaw with no intention of going back. 'I didn't know a single openly LGBT+ person before coming to Warsaw, even after having attended high school in fairly large Rzeszów.' After the final discriminatory bill was repealed, Ko said: 'The sliver of joy after the last LGBT free zone was gone was quickly overshadowed by the right-wing extremist surge in the elections.' Along with Ko, Zuza Głowacka and Adam Musielak both work at Warsaw House, a charity which supports LGBTQ+ homeless youths. Zuza told Metro: 'When there is hatred in the top government it trickles down to communities, to families, to schools, and then young people are rejected by their families and often times thrown out of their homes. 'In Poland, the cities are much more queer friendly, but they're also much more expensive. You want to go to a place where you are accepted and there's a community, but you can't afford to live there. 'We have people running away from their families and the conservative parts of Poland to come to Warsaw and be safe, and also be themselves. 'I think especially for young people their first instinct is 'I need to be where I'm safe and have a community and be able to be myself'.' The Atlas of Hate (Atlas Nienawiści) website is an interactive map which serves as a record of how much of Poland – about a third of the country – tried to reject its LGBTQ+ residents. It documented authorities considering or enacting resolutions opposing 'LGBTQ+ ideology' or creating charters of family rights. Far right group Ordo Iuris even created a ready-to-pass Charter of Family Rights (SKPR), which was used by several authorities. The bills have all since been rejected. They were either never enacted in the first place or have been repealed following pushback. The EU withdrew funding to some of these regions due to their discriminatory nature – meaning some lost millions of Euros or scrapped the bills to keep the cash. But seven local authorities sued the four activists behind the Atlas of Hate. They said the map defamed them and demanded the four founders pay 20,000 złoty (£3,900) and publicly apologise to each of them. Thankfully, almost all of the lawsuits have ended in victory for the four Atlas of Hate creators. Two of the authorities withdrew their claims while the other five were dismissed by regional courts. Two appeals against those dismissals are awaiting decision. Jakub Gawron is from Rzeszów in the south eastern part of Poland. He's one of the founders of Atlas of Hate and has been co-organising equality marches in the city for several years. He said he and the other creators were 'overwhelmed' when the Atlas became 'capable of influencing local government officials, politicians, and EU institutions'. Speaking to Metro about his next steps, Jakub said: 'I will continue to help organize the equality march in Rzeszow. I also want to summarize the history of Atlas Nienawiści in a book. 'Unfortunately, after the election of Nawrocki as president, the prospect of a coalition government of far-right parties in the next two years has become real. 'We expect that in a few years this government will be putting forward proposals to ban transition and equality marches, like in Hungary and Russia.' Now the LGBT free zones are gone, activists are turning their attention to the next milestones to improve life for the queer people living in Poland. When asked what he thinks the community will turn to next, Adam said: 'I think everybody's waiting for legal same-sex relationships. Marriage is something that we dream of, but even unions between same-sex couples is something everybody is waiting for.' Despite being one of the first European nations to decriminalise homosexuality in 1932, gay marriage is still illegal. 'Even in some polls, the Polish people agree with this,' Adam said. 'So I think that's the main thing everybody is waiting for. 'We just changed the law for transgender people, because previously they had to sue their parents to change their sex on documents, now that's finally changed so this is great for them. 'Those are the two main things, same-sex unions and hate crimes against the LGBTQ community, because it's still not considered a hate crime.' Metro spoke to Hubert Sobecki, a board member of the Polish campaign for marriage equality campaign Love Does Not Exclude (Miłość Nie Wyklucza). He said the presidential elections earlier this month, which saw Polish nationalist and conservative Karol Nawrocki take the top job, have caused pessimism within the community. Discussing Nawrocki's views about the LGBTQ+ community, Hubert, from Warsaw, said: 'The way he sees us is subhuman, let's be frank. 'He did not openly use hate speech. He did not repeat the slogan about LGBT+ being an ideology rather than people. But his campaign tried to stir moral panic around trans issues. 'The main problem is that we have no rights, so it's very difficult to say that the woke madness has gone too far because it never started. 'It's very clear to us that he is a product of his own political background. When it comes to his past, and the kind of person he seems to be, it's terrifying. 'He's a scary guy. He is definitely a risk for the country, not just for the community.' And what of the Love Does Not Exclude campaign for same-sex marriage? 'We will still be campaigning about marriage equality, it's our mission, and we have public support, around 50% at this point, which means it's working,' Hubert explained. 'Earlier this month we were talking with the minister for equality from this government about the draft of the civil unions bill passing parliament, and now should it even pass, it won't be signed. 'We put quite a lot of effort into making this draft happen, and we pressured politicians to support it once it gets read, discussed and voted on, and now it doesn't matter. 'The good thing is that we did survive the previous government and the previous president, so we know how to approach this.' Looking to the future of LGBTQ+ activism in Poland is daunting, Hubert said, but all the while he is trying to 'count his blessings'. More Trending He said: 'This is not Russia, and this is not Hungary. We might become Hungary within the next two years, but we're not there yet and that's a blessing. 'Nobody's talking about making us illegal, nobody's talking about calling us foreign agents, and nobody's talking about attacking us physically using the Secret Service, something that did happen in Budapest. 'All those things might come, but they're not here yet. 'I think we [Polish people] have contrarianism in our blood, and I think self-organisation and protests show that we are able as a society to come together and make this sort of effort.'
