Britain's banned documentary SILENCED

The video that the establishment do not want you to see. Here Tommy Robinson bravely exposes the corruption in MSM. Tommy is facing 2 years in Prison for releasing this video to the public.

A UK judge on Monday jailed notorious far-right agitator Tommy Robinson for 18 months after he admitted committing contempt of court over a long-running libel case involving a Syrian refugee. The sentence is the latest jail term for one of Britain's most prominent anti-Muslim activists, who is blamed for helping fuel anti-immigration riots earlier this year. It came after Robinson -- whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon -- pleaded guilty earlier on Monday to 10 breaches of a 2021 High Court order. It bars the 41-year-old far-right figurehead from repeating false allegations he had made about the Syrian refugee, who successfully sued him for libel. Handing down the 18-month jail sentence at Woolwich Crown Court in southeast London, judge Jeremy Johnson said Robinson's actions were a "planned, deliberate, direct, flagrant breach of the court's orders".

The jails are now full of his adoring fans, so it should be a cakewalk for him, not to mention a good recruiting place. They should keep him in solitary.

Looking back at these events, I am unsure what I find more shocking: the extent of harassment I received for what seemed like an innocuous opinion piece, or a world-leading counter-extremism think tank bowing to the demands of the harassers.

Tommy Robinson Sentenced to 18 Months for Contempt of Court

Tommy Robinson Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison Tommy Robinson, one of the most prominent figures associated with far-right and anti-immigrant movements in Britain, was sentenced on Monday to 18 months in prison for violating a court order. This order was in place to prevent him from reiterating false claims about a teenage Syrian refugee who successfully sued him for libel. During the court…

Resident of Derby here. I've heard rumblings - that I can't verify sadly - that extremists are planning "protest" (see: riot) in Derby on Normanton Road (DE23 6US, outside the Immigration Advisory Service but potentially any of the other three buildings with immigration services on the road) at 8PM tomorrow. There's also a lot of businesses on that road in general run by people extremists would happily target for bastard, racist reasons. If the Derby counter-protest is happening and people do go, please make sure you all stay safe and be aware that there may very well be extremists on the streets that same evening.

Thank you very much for the local info! I ommitted Derby from the pictures in the other post because they didnt put a place name on their visual, but you are right.

The far-right DO plan an attack on an office that helps asylum-seekers access their legal rights in Derby. We don't know how many people will show up to the fascist side of things, but what we DO know is that if they are outnumbered they'll fuck off, cower back to their shitholes without accomplishing anything, and blame Tommy Robinson (aka his real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon) for their failure., so we gotta make sure as many people as possible will be there tomorrow at 7.15PM. If you're not near Derby be sure to check all the places the fucking fascist losers are planning to attack people who help refugees, and be sure to show up beforehand with everyone you know who has ever said "punch a nazi".

I don't always agree with the BBC's editorial choices, but their decision to start referring to Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon by his full name rather than 'Tommy Robinson' just to remind everyone that his whole 'regular working class bloke' thing* is an absolute scam and he is just some little snot manipulating people far more economically vulnerable than him is, quite frankly, very much a choice I can get behind.

(*it should also be noted that 'Tommy Robinson' is a name inspired by a prominent member of a UK-based football hooligan crew, just to further remind people who this wanker is framing himself as)

The validity of Tommy Robinson’s Irish passport has been called into question. The prominent far-right agitator, real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon is believed to qualify for Irish citizenship through his mother, an Irish woman who settled in Luton. But questions have now been raised by Irish parliamentarians over the validity of his passport. Recent investigations have uncovered the fact that when detained by Canadian immigration authorities, on his landing card Robinson gave Ireland as his place of birth. If this is also what appears on his passport, that could invalidate the document. Robinson was born in Luton in 1982. It’s not clear why Robinson would have entered his birthplace falsely. He would qualify quite legitimately for an Irish passport as long as he could provide documentation that his mother was born anywhere on the island of Ireland.

He probably didn't want the Canadians to know who he really was.

As asylum centers are boarding up ahead of another predicted day of violent protests across the UK on Wednesday, X owner Elon Musk has stoked tensions by labeling UK prime minister Keir Starmer “#TwoTierKier” and spreading a far-right conspiracy theory that claims white rioters are being dealt with more severely than minorities by police.

For days now, Musk has sought to use his huge influence to suggest that diversity was causing the riots: “If incompatible cultures are brought together without assimilation, conflict is inevitable,” Musk wrote. Responding to a video of riots in Liverpool on Monday, Musk warned: “Civil war is inevitable.”

Six thousand police officers are on standby in response to far-right figures sharing a list of dozens of targets, including locations of asylum centers and offices of lawyers who help asylum seekers. Officials are facing resistance from X to take down posts that are deemed a threat to national security, according to a report by the Financial Times.

After the death of three children in Southport during a mass stabbing attack last week, which sparked the riots, conspiracies flooded social media platforms, including X. But it was on Telegram where much of the initial organization for the attacks took place.

Far-right channels not only posted information on locations and times for protests, but shared information on how to construct Molotov cocktails and set fire to buildings, according to a WIRED review of multiple Telegram channels.

But, while Musk and X have done little to quell their activity, Telegram appears to have taken action against at least one channel which has been set up to spread hatred and disinformation around the Southport stabbings.

The “Southport Wake Up” Telegram channel was set up within hours of the stabbing incident last week and soon amassed a huge following. It shared details about local protests but quickly descended into making violent threats against named individuals and locations.

On Monday night, Telegram appeared to remove the channel, which at that point had almost 15,000 members. It is unclear if Telegram made this decision itself or if it was at the direction of the authorities in the UK.

The creator of the channel, who has been flagged to police by researchers but has not been publicly named, has attempted to set up new channels several times, but they have all been shut down within hours of being established.

Telegram told WIRED that its moderators were “actively monitoring the situation and are removing channels and posts containing calls to violence.”

A spokesperson told WIRED the Home Office could not comment on whether they had called for the Stockport Wakeup telegram channel to be blocked, as “it’s an operational issue.”

Many far-right figures had migrated to Telegram in recent years after being kicked off all other platforms, because of Telegram’s notoriously lax approach to censorship. But since Musk’s takeover of Twitter in November 2022, many of those previously exiled extremists have been welcomed back, including Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, the leader of the now-defunct English Defense League, who goes by the name of Tommy Robinson.

Robinson has repeatedly thanked Musk since being reinstated in November last year, calling Musk “the best thing to happen for free speech this century.” In recent days he has tagged Musk in multiple posts on the platform. Musk responded to one of Robinson’s posts over the weekend.

Analysis from disinformation researcher Marc Owen Jones has shown that any engagement like this from Musk dramatically boosts the number of views, likes, and shares a post on X receives—even posts whose interactions had been declining dramatically.

“Twitter has been a disinformation delivery system,” says Jones, which has allowed the “proliferation of anti-migrant and anti-muslim speculation.” He cites the trust and safety team cuts, the blue tick pay for play strategy and the reintroduction of far right people onto the site as “perfect conditions for disinformation and hate speech to thrive.”

“[Musk’s] comments are totally unacceptable,” courts minister Heidi Alexander told the BBC on Tuesday. “For someone that has a big platform, a large following, to be exercising that power in such an irresponsible way, is pretty unconscionable.” X did not respond to a request for comment.

UK law enforcement is taking action against those using X to overtly promote violence—in one case by arresting the wife of a local councillor in Northampton who called for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire.

“Mass deportation now, set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care … If that makes me racist, so be it,” Lucy Connolly wrote on X. Northamptonshire police told the BBC the 41-year-old child care worker was arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred.

Rioters and violent protesters have also taken over TikTok Live, sharing self-incriminating videos of them confronting the police or members of the public in cities like Leeds, Stoke, and Hull. Police have used that footage to prosecute a first wave of demonstrators this week.

“Over 400 people now have been arrested, 100 have been charged, some in relation to online activity, and a number of them are already in court, and I am now expecting substantive sentencing before the end of this week,” Starmer said in a video posted on X on Tuesday. “That should send a very powerful message to people either directly or online.”

Starmer has not referred to X or Musk by name in his comments on the issue of online radicalization around the riots.

Nigel Farage resents the implication that he was deliberately stoking the fires of discord - he was simply asking questions! Leading questions that pointed to certain answers or at least looked at them sideways and nodded and winked! It's not his fault if people assumed he meant those answers he was pointing towards! That's their fault!

He also resents the accusation that he a Stephen Yaxley-Lennon in a suit - he says it is beneath contempt, this accusation. Perhaps he'd be happier if it was phrased as a question?

Is Nigel Farage simply Stephen Yaxley-Lennon in a suit?

Is Nigel Farage deliberately exploiting this tragedy to further his own political career by asking vague questions about national security?

Is Nigel Farage an expert in doing things really obviously but doing them in such a way he has deniability so he can pretend he didn't?

Is Nigel Farage a bloated tick growing fat on the discontent and incoherent fury of those unable to articulate or even fully understand why it is they're unhappy or what they might do to improve their situation?

Is Nigel Farage a festing boil on the arse of the nation, oozing the thick yellow pus of fascism as he makes saps and suckers of those he claims to speak for?

I don't know! I'm just asking questions! Just asking questions!

In my case the following lines of my Guardian piece prompted him to confront me:

That the far right has moved from the fringe into the mainstream demonstrates the massive support that white supremacist movements have attracted from digital natives. Their online followership often exceeds that of mainstream political parties: with over 200,000 followers, Tommy Robinson's Twitter account has almost the same number of followers as Theresa May's.
