High Court throws out Tommy Robinson's bid to challenge his segregation in prison
Tommy Robinson, October 25, 2024

FAR-RIGHT provocateur Tommy Robinson’s bid to challenge the government over his segregation in prison was thrown out of the High Court today.

Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is serving an 18-month prison sentence for the civil offence of contempt of court after breaching an injunction.
