In January , the refugee said returning to Almondbury Community School was still too dangerous.
He described living in fear after Robinson's postings because "there are people who hang around outside my house and video me on their phones. They call me 'little rat' if I go outside. One of my neighbours threatened me outside my house just yesterday. After receiving a letter from lawyers representing the refugee boy's family, pointing out that the videos Robinson had posted "contain a number of false and defamatory allegations", Robinson admitted to his followers that it was fake news and claimed that he had been duped: "I have been completely had, how embarrassing man. In response to allegations from Robinson's supporters that this warning "blocked" free speech, Jamil's lawyer said, "Tommy Robinson thinks it is a good idea to defame this year-old boy and accuse him of being the author of his own bullying.
It is actually sickening. It was reported that Facebook protects prominent figures such as Robinson from the normal rules of moderation that would usually see a page removed after posting content that violates its rules. Solicitors representing the victim are pursuing legal action against the social media firm on the basis Facebook was responsible for Robinson's posts as it had given him "special treatment [that] seems to be financially driven". It also cited violations of policies concerning "organized hate". In March , Robinson was permanently banned from the microblogging site Twitter for violating its rules on "hateful conduct".
In January , YouTube announced that it had removed adverts from Robinson's account, saying that he had breached the site's guidelines. In January , Robinson livestreamed himself causing a lockdown, by leading a group that surrounded a library where the Glasgow South MP, Stewart McDonald , was holding a surgery. The group included the convicted armed kidnapper Daniel Thomas. The library was reportedly bombarded with phone calls.
McDonald was eventually escorted away by police and he said the group blocked emergency exits. In February , using his Facebook account, Robinson wrote "I guess it's ok to rape white women then? The centre, which was providing support for rape victims of all ethnic backgrounds, condemned Robinson's post for "disrupting much-needed service provision for victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse of all ethnicities and backgrounds". In February , Facebook and Instagram banned him from their platforms citing violations of their hate speech rules including "calls for violence targeted at Muslims".
On 4 March , at 11pm, Robinson arrived uninvited outside the home of a journalist who covers far-right issues and attempted to intimidate him. Robinson revealed the journalist's address on a livestream and threatened to reveal the addresses of other journalists. He left after police arrived, but returned at 5am.
In April , YouTube restricted Robinson's account due to its "borderline content", placing its content "behind an interstitial [warning page], removed from recommendations, and stripped of key features including livestreaming, comments, suggested videos, and likes".
On 5 April , Snapchat terminated Robinson's account for violating their community guidelines, which prohibit hate speech and harassment. In January , Robinson was given the International Free Press award, also known as the Sappho Prize, described as an award given to journalists who combine excellence in their work with courage and a refusal to compromise. Of the eight MEPs who left, two were former party leaders.
One was the UKIP's leader in Scotland; and another was Nigel Farage, who said Robinson and his associates brought "scuffles" and "violence" into the party and "many have criminal records, some pretty serious". If approved, his possible membership would be put to a vote at the party's conference. His security team and supporters physically attacked anti-racism activists, with one anti-racism activist saying she suffered a broken nose. Police launched an investigation into the violence. For several months in late , Robinson used Facebook's donations feature that was intended for charities to instead collect money for a new conspiracy theory website and to fund legal action against the British government in relation to his own prison treatment.
Within hours of learning of the charity feature's misuse, Facebook removed the button from Robinson's page. In November , PayPal told Robinson that it would no longer process payments on his behalf, saying that "Striking the necessary balance between upholding free expression and open dialogue and protecting principles of tolerance, diversity and respect for all people is a challenge that many companies are grappling with today.
On 10 May , Robinson was charged with contempt of court.
He had filmed inside Canterbury Crown Court and posted prejudicial statements calling the defendants "Muslim child rapists" while the jury was deliberating. Judge Heather Norton said Robinson used "pejorative language in his broadcast which prejudged the outcome of the case and could have had the effect of substantially derailing the trial". It is about justice and ensuring that a trial can be carried out justly and fairly, it's about being innocent until proven guilty. It is about preserving the integrity of the jury to continue without people being intimidated or being affected by irresponsible and inaccurate 'reporting', if that's what it was".
In law, he had been committed to prison for a period of three months but suspended that committal for eighteen months.
That technical error, the distinction between committed to prison and sentenced to imprisonment was identified and corrected by the Court of Appeal. Robinson was again found to be in contempt of court at Leeds, again wrongly given a sentence of imprisonment and the Canterbury suspended sentence activated. Robinson was jailed and later released in mid for almost collapsing the Huddersfield grooming gang trial.
On 25 May , Robinson was arrested for a breach of the peace while live streaming outside Leeds Crown Court [] [] during the trial of the Huddersfield grooming gang on which reporting restrictions had been ordered by the judge. The reporting restriction with regard to Robinson was lifted on 29 May , following a challenge by journalists. The media reported that Robinson had admitted contempt of court by publishing information that could prejudice an ongoing trial, and had been jailed for 13 months.
Robinson's lawyer said that Robinson felt "deep regret" after comprehending the potential consequences of his behaviour. Dominic Casciani, the BBC's home affairs correspondent, said, "This is not some new form of censorship directed at Robinson. These are rules that apply to us all, equally. If he is unsure about that, he's now got time on his hands to read a copy of Essential Law for Journalists. The jailing of Robinson drew condemnation from right-wing circles. On the weekends following Robinson's arrest, his supporters held rallies in his support.
An online petition for his release had more than , signatures. Robertson told the InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that Robinson's new prison was "about 71 per cent Muslim" and therefore "really, really, really disastrous". The former Breitbart editor Raheem Kassam tweeted it to his followers while falsely accusing the Home Secretary , Sajid Javid , of moving Robinson there. Robinson lodged an appeal initially against the proceedings at Leeds but much later against convictions both at Canterbury and Leeds.
Robinson claimed that he had not admitted the charges at Leeds nor had he been given a chance to apologise. His lawyer claimed that his initial contempt hearing was flawed; the details of the charge were not clear. He argued that his sentence was unfair. In essence, the appeal against the proceedings at Canterbury failed and the appeal in respect of the Leeds' proceedings succeeded.
The court analysed the differences that arise from a prison sentence for a criminal offence and those from committal to prison for contempt. Of the mistakes made at Canterbury, the Court of Appeal learnt that those representing Robinson had been aware of the procedural errors. There was no clarity about what parts of the video were relied upon as amounting to contempt, what parts the appellant accepted through his counsel amounted to contempt and for what conduct he was sentenced.
It was ordered that the records of the Crown Court at Canterbury and at Leeds be amended to show that Robinson had been committed to prison for contempt of court, not sentenced to imprisonment. It was ordered the matter be reheard at the Old Bailey before the Recorder of London "as soon as reasonably possible.

He said that he was initially put in HM Prison Hull , where he was treated well. He was then transferred to HM Prison Onley , where, he claimed, he was severely mistreated, including with solitary confinement. The prison service rejected his claims saying, "Mr Yaxley-Lennon [i.
Robinson] was treated with the same fairness we aim to show all prisoners — he had access to visits, television and showers — and it is totally false to say he was held in 'solitary confinement ' ", adding that he had been kept in a care and separation unit for 48 hours whilst an assessment was made of his safety. In October , further controversy arose after Robinson posted a joint photo with two dozen young British Army "recruits" as he described them.
He also posted on his Facebook page a video of the occasion in which the soldiers allegedly cheered him shouting his name. The British Army launched an investigation into the matter, saying, "Far-right ideology is completely at odds with the values and ethos of the armed forces. The armed forces have robust measures in place to ensure those exhibiting extremist views are neither tolerated nor permitted to serve.
They manipulate and exploit their way into the mainstream, often targeting the military and co-opting its symbols. Tommy Robinson's attention-seeking is cover for divisive anti-Muslim hatred that is causing real harm to individuals, communities and society in general. Reporting restrictions were lifted on the three Huddersfield grooming gang trials after the jury reached a verdict in the final trial. The Yorkshire Evening Post explained that it abided by the temporary restrictions because "If we had reported on the first trial then jurors may have been swayed in the second trial — a defence lawyer would argue that their clients could not get a fair hearing Also in October , U.
Republican Party congressman Paul Gosar and six other members of congress invited Robinson to speak at a private meeting at the U. Congress on 14 November During the rally, Robinson launched his film Panodrama that was broadcast on a large screen to the protesters estimated to be people, showing undercover footage of Sweeney, filmed by Robinson's former aide Lucy Brown.
Robinson said the aim of the protest was to make a stand "against the corrupt media" and called for the BBC licence fee to be scrapped. Concurrently, about people attended a counter-protest by anti-fascists.

Soon after announcing his run, Twitter suspended his newly-established electoral campaign account, after it was reported as a new account creation by a banned user.
