Tommy Robinson’s real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. He founded a street movement called the English Defence League in 2009. From assault to mortgage fraud to multiple contempt of court convictions, Robinson’s criminal record is extensive. Robinson has recently been released from prison. In 2024, he was sentenced for ignoring a court’s orders not to repeat libellous claims about a Syrian refugee. The Syrian youth had successfully sued Robinson for his remarks, but the latter kept repeating them. He was also banned from X (former Twitter) in 2018, but his account was reinstated under Musk.
