A text summary would be nice.

I recognize the name, but don’t recall the particulars.

“Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been cleared of breaching a dispersal order after a judge ruled the power had not been legally authorised.

The 41-year-old, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was arrested at a march against antisemitism after organisers said he would not be welcome.

A senior Met Police officer who signed the dispersal order had previously told Westminster Magistrates’ Court he had used the wrong date.

On Tuesday, District Judge Daniel Sternberg ruled there was no case to answer.

heh...that’s ALWAYS the typical media line on him.

“far right”

“his REAL NAME IS”

They have to say it every...single...time...like nobody knows.

Tommy is a UK patriot that first got into ‘trouble’ for drop kicking an ISIS flag holder among a group of Muslims that were spitting on British troops on their homecoming parade. It’s a famous video clip that went viral.

Then he formed the “English Defense League” (EDL), which was a “black and white unite”, anti-Nazi, org around being British and the danger that Islam poses. For this the State came after him. They found ANY tiny thing to put him in prison (first was the ‘incorrect’ paperwork about his loan to a brother-in-law to buy a house). He’s *never* had a jury trial as far as I recall. They put him in the worst prison, run by Muslims, knowing he’d be killed. He preemptively started fights to be put in solitary confinement....for several months. He lost loads of weight and clearly had PTSD.

He was recently in London having breakfast at a cafe with his kids, prior to planning on interviewing people at a Palestinian rally, and the Metro Police came up to him and told him he is ordered to leave London because they’ve been informed his PRESENCE makes people uncomfortable. He said it was unlawful and stopping him engaging in journalism (which is what he does now). They arrested him, pepper sprayed him, deleted all the cop videos, and then ordered he is not allowed in London.

This time a judge ruled it was all wrong. Even the talking heads on TV had to admit that it was disturbing, he had done nothing.

I’m surprised he’s still alive, there’s been several organized attempts on his murder. It’s an unreal story, I’ve been following for probably 15 years now (more?). He has a couple of books that go over it all.

Of course the media just label him “far right”, “racist”, “islamophobic”, etc.. In some ways he is their Trump, except he’s not a billionaire and has no chance in the British political system. He raised the red flag about Islamic ‘grooming gangs’ targeting young white English girls over a decade ago. For this, he was, again, ‘racist’. Then the mainstream media couldn’t ignore it anymore, it was just happening over and over. Of course, few give him credit...but some do.

He is a polarizing figure in the UK. Some just believe the media. Some just think he’s a thug. In some ways, he is - he’s a working class kid from Luton that spoke up about a lot of multi-culti problems he grew up with. Many however, believe he’s a hero. He has a LOT of support with working class British. He’s older now, I recently heard him say he’s a Christian when asked by a Muslim - which was new (he’s figured it all out). He can talk the Koran up and down. He’s no idiot. The State just hates him, just like Trump.

Sorry for the essay :) I just think everyone should know him - he has to be possibly the bravest person in the public space. He does not back down, he will not be canceled or ‘ended’.
