British activist breaks court rules and faces consequences in London drama

On oct-28 Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) showed up at Woolwich Crown Court where he admitted breaking rules about what he could say about a Syrian refugee. The 41-year old activist posted stuff on youtube and made statements during a Trafalgar Square event that went against court orders

Robinson who started the English Defense League has become a big voice for far-right ideas in Britain. Just 2 days ago thousands of his supporters got together in central London for a Unite the Kingdom meet-up (which he couldnt join cause he was in jail)

Last summer he got mixed up in some trouble when people started believing wrong info about a crime in Southport — his posts made folks think wrongly that an immigrant did it which led to street problems across England and Northern Ireland. His track record includes jail time for different things: hitting someone mortgage tricks and not following court rules

Social media has been a wild ride for Robinson: X (the site that used to be Twitter) kicked him off like 6 years ago but when Elon Musk took over he got back on and now has like a million people following him there. His latest court trouble shows how he keeps getting into hot water with the law
