FAR-RIGHT thug Tommy Robinson has fled Britain after committing a “flagrant” contempt of court relating to a film shown at a protest in central London, the High Court was told.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, failed to appear at the Royal Courts of Justice today for a hearing in a contempt of court case.

Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, said it is believed Robinson left hours after being released on unconditional bail following his arrest over the weekend.
