Overview
Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting to multiple breaches of a High Court injunction concerning false allegations against Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi. A judge highlighted the intentional nature of Robinson's actions, indicating he showed no remorse and considered himself above the law. The court allowed a reduction of his sentence if he removes the false claims from his social media. This ruling follows a history of legal troubles for Robinson, who remains a polarizing figure in British politics.
