I'm astonished Britain didn't order an independent investigation to determine whether an agent of the state punched Tommy Robinson in front of the police and ran away

If you've seen the video clip from a few years ago, the white attacker punched him in broad daylight with the police standing just feet away from Robinson and filming it. Robinson called out "arrest that man", and the police did nothing. They appeared to have been trying to tease Tommy into punching his attacker in self-defence in order to get him for assault. Can't he sue?
