Suspended GB News TV presenter Reverend Calvin Robinson has won an out-of-court settlement from the Royal Academy of Dance after he was sacked from a senior role for opposing a drag queen storytelling session for children.

Mr Robinson, 37, was awarded £8,000 after the RAD removed him from its education sub-committee for protesting against what he believed to be the sexualisation of minors.

It came after he attended a rally organised by conservative group Turning Point UK against the show, starring drag queen That Girl, being held at a pub in South London earlier this year. The protest turned into a violent clash with LGBT activists.

Mr Robinson reported on the protest on his Calvin’s Common Sense Crusade on GB News.

Tim Arthur, chief executive of the academy, and trustees, wrote to tell Robinson he was being thrown off the committee adding: ‘We cannot condone the way in which you have chosen to express your views’.
