TOMMY Robinson has been jailed for 18 months after admitting contempt of court by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee, in breach of an injunction.
The political activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted 10 breaches of a High Court order made in 2021 at the start of a hearing at Woolwich Crown Court yesterday.
Lawyers for the Solicitor General claimed the 41-year-old had been "thumbing his nose at the court" and "undermining" the rule of law, including by publishing a film called Silenced, which contains the libellous allegations, last year.
