Tommy Robinson, a notorious far-right agitator, has been inciting violence over the Southport stabbings from afar, leveraging his substantial online following of 800,000. Robinson's social media activity suggests he was in Spain last Tuesday while encouraging far-right supporters who clashed with police and attacked a mosque in the coastal town of Southport, Merseyside.

 

After being released on unconditional bail, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, left the UK for southern Europe last Sunday. He was stopped by police under terrorism laws at the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone, Kent, and was due in the High Court in London the following day over alleged contempt proceedings. Despite his absence, Robinson continued to promote protests in Britain from his European location, believed to have traveled to Greece with his children.

The violence in Southport, which injured over 50 officers and terrorized Muslim worshippers, was reportedly sparked by false claims that the stabbing suspect was a Muslim asylum seeker. Merseyside police believe that supporters of the English Defence League (EDL), the far-right group previously led by Robinson, were heavily involved. The suspect is accused of murdering three young girls and injuring ten others.

 

Sammy Woodhouse, a high-profile victim of the Rotherham child grooming gang scandal, also contributed to spreading misinformation about the Southport stabbings while reporting from the town for Urban Scoop, an alternative news site linked to Robinson. In one broadcast, Woodhouse stated, “[People] feel like they are not being told any information. They know the guy’s not a British guy. They know he’s of a different ethnicity. There’s talk of him being a Muslim as well.” This misinformation was shared by Robinson on X (formerly Twitter) even after police clarified that the suspect, born in Cardiff, was not a Muslim and that a name circulating online was incorrect.

Robinson continued to stoke tensions with posts such as a video of rioters on a police van, stating, “The British have been pushed too far. Once you start f***ing with their children, taking away their safety. What do you expect to happen?” The next day, he appeared on the Rumble video platform, drinking from a bottle of Bezoya water, which is common in Spain and its islands. By Thursday, Robinson had promoted further disorder in Hartlepool, Aldershot, and near Downing Street, where over 100 arrests were made. He posted about being on a “seven-hour stopover” at an unspecified airport, later identified as Vienna from the Wolfgang Puck Kitchen & Bar.

 

Robinson's social media posts indicated he had moved to another sunny location, likely Greece, by Friday, where he continued to rail against Muslims and share a list of far-right protests planned for the weekend. As violence threatened to erupt in Sunderland, Robinson posted, “The good people of Sunderland out tonight as protests sweep the nation,” and shared footage of youths setting a police station alight, blaming the government for the unrest.

 

A High Court judge issued an arrest warrant for Robinson, effective in October, when he is expected at a full contempt hearing in London. The case involves Robinson’s alleged breach of an injunction forbidding him from repeating false claims about Jamal Hijazi, a teenage Syrian refugee at the center of a 2018 school bullying incident in West Yorkshire. In 2021, Hijazi won £100,000 in damages in a defamation case against Robinson, who falsely accused him of being a violent thug. Robinson repeated these claims at a mass rally in Trafalgar Square, London, last weekend. If found guilty of contempt, Robinson faces up to two years in jail.

 

Woodhouse, introduced by Robinson at the Trafalgar Square rally as a new hire for Urban Scoop, has been a vocal campaigner against child sexual exploitation after being groomed and raped by gang leader Arshid Hussain. Her first assignment for Urban Scoop involved reporting on the Southport stabbings, where she repeated false claims about the suspect's identity and mentioned “civil war” spreading across the UK. Robinson later tweeted, “Well done Sammy on your start to citizen journalism, we are the media now.” Woodhouse defended her reporting, claiming, “My point was simply that the man accused of the stabbing and murdering three little girls is not of typical British ethnicity. There was talk about him being a Muslim by locals who I was reporting on at the time. That does in no way, shape, form or fashion mean that I said he ‘was’ Muslim.”

 

Woodhouse accused the mainstream media of using “inflammatory language like ‘far right’ to conjure [up] an image in the public consciousness of Hitlerian [sic] thugs attacking police for no reason at all.” It also emerged that Joe Marsh, a former football hooligan from Cardiff and founder of Casuals United, promoted the far-right protest in Southport. Marsh, who supports Patriotic Alternative, posted a flyer on X/Twitter and Telegram featuring a blood-stained hand-print and the slogan: “Enough is enough.” Marsh claimed he only shared the flyer and did not organize the event, later deleting the promotional material from X/Twitter.

Back the police?

The police themselves are calling on the government to acknowledge the underlying causes of the issues. So far they have not acknowledged there is any issue whatsoever.

Donna Jones is a Tory.

 

She’s police and crime commissioner, she is not ‘The Police’.

 

Here’s where her sympathies lie:

An antisemite shows himself, and all of his own volition.

 

Even blind and deaf people know very well that Tommy Robinson is a Zionist. Calling those who speak the truth anti-Semites must be linked to low intelligence.

So your first post "A little message from the Zionists to the British government.  "YOU WILL CONTINUE TO OBEY" " was not anti-sematic?

No, it is a word that makes Zionism proud.  What are we hiding from whom? Is there a state in the world that does not obey Zionism?
