‘Tommy Robinson’ jailed for 18 months for repeating lies about Syrian refugee

FASCIST rabble-rouser Stephen Yaxley-Lennon was jailed for 18 months yesterday after admitting contempt of court. 

The former tanning salon owner and founder of the English Defence League (EDL) admitted to 10 breaches of a High Court order made in 2021 that forbade him from repeating libellous claims against young Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi.

In 2018, then-schoolboy Mr Hijazi was assaulted at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield.
