Founder of far-right English Defence League jailed for 18 months for contempt of court

[IsraelTimes] A judge sentences the founder of the far-right English Defence League to a year and a half in prison for contempt of court for violating an order barring him from repeating libelous allegations against a Syrian refugee.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, admits in Woolwich Crown Court that he violated a 2021 court injunction on several occasions while giving interviews broadcast on YouTube, and in a documentary he presented during a rally in London’s Trafalgar Square in July that was also posted on his X account.

Robinson had been ordered not to repeat false allegations that a former schoolboy, Jamal Hijazi, had bullied and threatened other students. Hijazi had successfully sued him for libel and was awarded 100,000 British pounds ($130,000) in damages.

The Solicitor General finds Robinson violated the injunction on 10 occasions since 2023, including by airing a documentary, titled "Silenced," he made on the case that has been viewed more than 44 million times.

In recent months, Jewish community leaders have asked Robinson to stay away from demonstrations against antisemitism in London.

#1 Far right in the sense of not being expressly socialist on the way to globalist?

#3 Ole Blighty has sunk to a level where people are jailed for silently praying something within a certain distance of an abortion clinics. So jailing someone for speaking anything not permitted and therefore viewed as wrong-thinking is no surprise at all!

#4 His Majesty's Prisons are pleased
To mistreat these disordered diseased,
Erstwhile known as our best
Or the men of the West,
That no Eastern believer be teased.
