Robinson's allegation against Cambridgeshire police was this: that in 2016, while on a lovely, sunny day out with his kids to see his home team Luton Town play Cambridge United, he was unfairly targeted as a football hooligan by the local police and forced to leave town. His daughter in particular was so upset by the experience that she has never accompanied her dad to a football match again. Robinson, understandably, feels very aggrieved about this because, he argues, it was obvious that he was on a peaceful family outing and posed no danger to anyone. He alleged he was deliberately targeted by vindictive officers within the police force because of who he was and what he believes rather than because of anything he'd done. This, he believes, constitutes a breach of his human rights.

“But do you have a case?” I asked when I interviewed him the week before the trial. What I meant by this was: “Is your claim watertight?”

Sure it must have been upsetting for Robinson and his kids. Yes, it's entirely possible that Robinson was picked on unfairly by politically correct police who wanted to engage in bullying someone they didn't like while simultaneously claiming the moral high ground. But believing this is one thing. Proving it in a court of law is quite another. And this Robinson and his barrister singularly failed to do.
