Book Novotel Hotel Tommy Robinson leaves UK on eve of court case Banzai Japan Music Video A senior judge has issued an arrest warrant for far-right campaigner Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – better known by his alias Tommy Robinson – after learning he has left the country on the eve of a major legal case against him. Yaxley-Lennon left the UK by a Eurotunnel train on Sunday night, despite having been arrested by Kent Police under counter-terrorism powers. Book Novotel Hotel The 41-year-old had been due in court on Monday for allegedly breaching an order not to repeat lies about a Syrian refugee. Mr Justice Johnson has ordered the warrant not to be carried out “until early October” to give Yaxley-Lennon time to confirm he would attend the next hearing voluntarily. His departure from the UK comes after thousands of his followers gathered in central London on Saturday in his support. In July 2021, Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi won £100,000 in damages in a major defamation battle against Yaxley-Lennon, who had falsely accused him of being a violent thug, claims that spread across social media. A judge ordered him never to repeat the lies, but last year he began repeating his claims, including in a film distributed online. Yaxley-Lennon was ordered six weeks ago to come to the High Court on Monday to answer the allegation that he had ignored the judge’s order – a serious offence known as contempt of court. Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, the government minister who oversees contempt of court allegations, today told Mr Justice Johnson that despite Yaxley-Lennon knowing of this morning’s case, he played the film again to his supporters on Saturday. The barrister said this public showing had been a “flagrant” and “admitted” breach of the court order not to repeat the false claims. On Sunday, the founder of the English Defence League went to the Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone, where police officers stopped him under counter-terrorism powers. When he allegedly refused to co-operate, he was arrested and held until 10pm before being released on unconditional bail and leaving the country. Mr Payter said: “We understand he failed to cooperate with a port stop and search. “The implication is he was attempting to leave the country and therefore was not intending to attend this hearing this morning “The information that we have is that he is not within the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. He has been spending significant time outside the UK since being served with the contempt application on 13 June. “He returned for the purpose of publishing the film and sought to immediately leave the jurisdiction.” Banzai Japan Music Video The court heard the police officers who had held Yaxley-Lennon had no power to stop him leaving the UK. Mr Justice Johnson said he was “entirely satisfied” that the contempt of court application should proceed in Yaxley-Lennon’s absence. The judge issued an arrest warrant to detain the activist if, by October, he has returned to the UK but continues to refuse to cooperate. That decision to delay executing the warrant was to give him an opportunity to return and explain why he had failed to attend this morning’s hearing or to apply to have it set aside. If Yaxley-Lennon does not return, the case will be heard in his absence after 28 October – and could lead to a jail sentence.

Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins reinstated on X

Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins reinstated on X

Book Novotel Hotel Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins reinstated on X Banzai Japan Music Video Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has had his account reinstated on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was reinstated alongside political commentator Katie Hopkins. Hopkins was banned in 2020 and Robinson’s account was suspended in 2018 – Twitter accused both of breaking its rules on hateful conduct. A number of controversial figures have been allowed back on the platform since it was bought by Elon Musk last year. Book Novotel Hotel In November 2022, Mr Musk – a self-styled “free speech absolutist” – announced a “general amnesty” to suspended accounts that had “not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam”. Research by BBC Monitoring found that of 1,100 reinstated accounts it examined, nearly 190 were promoting hate and violence. X has also reinstated the controversial influencer and self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate, whose accounts are banned by YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Nick Lowles, chief executive of anti-hate campaigners Hope Not Hate, criticised the latest move by X. “Reinstating Tommy Robinson and Katie Hopkins means Elon Musk is allowing hateful content and misinformation to take place on his watch on X/Twitter,” he said. The group said it would be writing to X to “make it clear the danger that their content poses”. Banzai Japan Music Video Hopkins, a former LBC presenter and MailOnline columnist, has repeatedly attracted criticism for her views – including an incident where she compared migrants to cockroaches and another when she claimed that a photograph of a drowned three-year old Syrian refugee had been staged. In 2017 she caused anger when she tweeted that there must be a “final solution” to dealing with terrorists following the Manchester Arena attack. She later changed the term “final solution” to “true solution”, describing the earlier version as a “mis-type”. Hopkins had more than one million Twitter followers before her permanent suspension in 2020. The ban was for violating the platform’s hateful conduct policy but it did not, however, say which of her tweets had prompted the action. Following her reinstatement Hopkins posted on X: “Thank you @elonmusk. And thank you to all the Twitter family who have brought Tommy & I back to @X. “Know this. You are not alone. We are many. And we are stronger together. The fight back for your freedom is on.” Robinson founded the far right English Defence League, best known for protests against what it calls “radical Islam”, but stepped down in 2013. In July 2021 Robinson was ordered to to pay £100,000 in libel damages to a Syrian schoolboy who was filmed being attacked in a playground. In two videos posted to Facebook, Robinson made a number of false accusations about the boy. In November 2013, Robinson pleaded guilty to fraud, and he was subsequently jailed for 18 months. He also has convictions for stalking, assault, using someone else’s passport, using threatening behaviour and contempt of court. Premium boost Mr Musk and X have repeatedly proclaimed “freedom of speech, not reach” as a mantra, meaning that they intend to provide free speech for all – while simultaneously limiting the reach of offensive and misleading posts. In practice, it hasn’t always worked that way, and many accounts prone to spreading misinformation on the platform have access to X Premium (formerly Twitter Blue). For Premium subscribers the platform actually boosts their posts in the algorithm. Thousands of accounts that were previously banned from Twitter have been reinstated since Mr Musk’s takeover. These include accounts with fringe views that were suspended for hateful conduct, accounts that shared health misinformation and anti-vaccine content during the Covid pandemic, and those that spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 US election. Some of those accounts have since been resuspended by X for repeating past offences. The BBC has approached X for comment.

St Johnstone probe MacPherson over Tommy Robinson post

St Johnstone probe MacPherson over Tommy Robinson post

Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel St Johnstone probe MacPherson over Tommy Robinson post Banzai Japan Music Video St Johnstone FC are investigating after midfielder Cammy MacPherson shared a post on social media by far-right activist Tommy Robinson. The 25-year-old retweeted a film made by the English Defence League founder, in which he repeats false claims he made about a refugee that led to him losing a libel case in 2021. Fans of the club voiced anger over the post on social media – after which MacPherson removed the retweet and made his X profile private. The BBC understands St Johnstone has been made aware of the matter and is dealing with it internally. Book Novotel Hotel It comes after violent unrest involving far-right groups in cities across England and Northern Ireland over the last week. Police officers have been injured, places of worship attacked and businesses set on fire – including a Holiday Inn Express in Manvers, near Rotherham, used to house more than 200 asylum seekers. The disorder began the night after three young girls were killed in a knife attack at a dance class in Southport. Convicted criminal Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has since posted about “pro-UK” rallies in cities including Glasgow next month, saying “the British are rising”. MacPherson reshared a post by Yaxley-Lennon from 27 July, two nights before the stabbing, promoting his film as “Britain’s banned documentary”. St Johnstone supporters were quick to voice their disapproval. One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “When you’ve got lots of good people as Saints do trying to build an inclusive club, having your starting midfielder retweeting [expletive] Robinson is absolutely minging.” Another said: “Seeing Cammy MacPherson retweeting bile from Tommy Robinson confirms the boy’s an absolute clown as well as a hopeless footballer, quicker he is out the team the better.” Banzai Japan Music Video Yaxley-Lennon – an anti-Islamist activist – is the subject of an arrest warrant after leaving the country on the eve of a major legal case against him. His Twitter account was suspended in 2018 as the company accused him of breaking its rules on hateful conduct. However he was reinstated on the platform last year after it was bought by Elon Musk. Earlier former Twitter executive Bruce Daisley said that Mr Musk was “largely responsible” for bringing Robinson back onto the platform. He said this had amplified Robinson’s voice “to the extent that he has gone from really the bargain basement of politics to being one of the biggest names orchestrating potentially this ongoing racial conflict”. He added: “So I think Elon Musk is playing a pretty pivotal role, and it’s why it’s such a challenge to try and to prohibit or to regulate what he’s actually doing right now.” Book Novotel Hotel Banzai Japan Social Media Fumi Fujisaki Idol Riko Ueno Idol Rino Ibusuki Idol Yunagi Nino Idol Shiori Fujisaki Idol Kana Ichinose Idol Hoshino Arice Idol Sasa Sasagawa Idol Kosaka Yuu Idol Tsukumo Aira Idol Maika Ando Idol Yuuki Mochimaru Idol  

Tommy Robinson facing new contempt of court allegations

Tommy Robinson facing new contempt of court allegations

Buy Now An error occurred. Buy Now An error occurred. Book Novotel Hotel Tommy Robinson facing new contempt of court allegations Banzai Japan Music Video The far-right activist Tommy Robinson is facing a second serious legal action for contempt of court, weeks after leaving the country on the eve of another case. The Attorney General’s Office launched the new action against Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, over alleged breaches of a court order not to repeat defamatory lies about a Syrian refugee. Yaxley-Lennon has not been seen in the UK since he left the country hours before a court case concerning related allegations. The High Court has said it will order the 41-year-old’s arrest if he ignores the case. Book Novotel Hotel Contempt of court is a serious offence against the workings of the justice system. The government definition, external of the offence includes “disobeying or ignoring a court order” – and those found guilty can go to prison for up to two years, get a fine, or both. In July 2021, Syrian teenager Jamal Hijazi won £100,000 in damages following a major defamation battle after Yaxley-Lennon spread false allegations accusing him of being a violent thug. A judge ordered him not to repeat the claims, but last year the founder of the English Defence League returned to them and included them in a film distributed online to his followers. In June, Yaxley-Lennon was ordered to the High Court to answer the allegation that he had ignored the judge’s order. Banzai Japan Music Video Two days before that scheduled hearing in July, Yaxley-Lennon repeated the claims to thousands of his supporters in London’s Trafalgar Square – and the following day took a Channel Tunnel train to France. The Attorney General’s Office said that the latest contempt allegations included the showing of the film at the rally, its publication on the X platform and related instances of alleged breach of the court order in three online interviews. A hearing over the original and new allegations will be held on October 28. The film remains pinned at the top of the Tommy Robinson X account – and in the introduction he stands outside the High Court and accuses judges of gagging him. This afternoon, the account was updated with a message launching a petition and accusing the judiciary of “continued persecution”. Hours after the London rally on 28 July, Yaxley-Lennon went to the Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone, where police officers stopped him under counter-terrorism stop-and-search powers. When he allegedly refused to co-operate, he was arrested and held until 22:00 BST. He then left the country. During the subsequent riots, which developed out of conspiracy theories often promoted on the Tommy Robinson social media channels, critics say he inflamed tensions. One post on his X account declared “Now is the time”. It is not clear whether Yaxley Lennon personally published the post and it was later deleted. When BBC News asked him to clarify why it had been posted, he publicly replied with an F-word response. The High Court has issued an arrest warrant for Yaxley Lennon’s arrest – but it will only be triggered if he does not contact the court by 2 October, to allow him the opportunity to agree to turn up voluntarily on 28 October. So far he has not contacted the court.

How an iPad dug up from the Thames solved museum thieves' murder plot

Book Novotel Hotel How an iPad dug up from the Thames solved museum thieves’ murder plot Banzai Japan Music Video A Ming vase stolen from a Swiss museum. A shooting at a comedian’s house in Woodford, east London. The robbery of a luxury apartment in Sevenoaks, Kent. These seemingly unconnected events were all part of a web of international organised crime that police untangled after a six-year-long investigation. A key piece of evidence – an iPad, found under an inch of sand on the foreshore of the River Thames just downstream from the O2 Arena. Book Novotel Hotel Its discovery was pivotal to the investigation that has led to three people being found guilty at the Old Bailey of the near-assassination of one of Britain’s most notorious armed robbers. When found by a police officer with a metal detector on a cold November morning last year, the iPad was found caked in mud having been underwater for more than five years. Forensics were able to clean it and open the Sim tray – which still contained a pink Vodafone Sim card. Call data that was subsequently salvaged provided damning evidence on three men – Louis Ahearne, Stewart Ahearne and Daniel Kelly – who were all also involved in a heist at a museum in Switzerland a month earlier. “I’ve questioned this a lot,” Det Supt Matthew Webb ponders. “Is it calamitous blunders tripping them up or was it just they were so blasé they wouldn’t get caught?” Banzai Japan Music Video A ‘meticulously planned’ assassination plot The Ahearne brothers and Kelly first caught the attention of police after gunshots pierced the silence of a late summer evening in an affluent Woodford area on 11 July 2019. Six bullets tore through a glass conservatory at a luxury property owned by comedian Russell Kane that had been rented out to Paul Allen. One severed one of Allen’s fingers, the other went through his throat and became lodged in his spinal cord, leaving him struggling to breathe and bleeding profusely. “He’s been shot, he’s been shot!” Allen’s partner, Jade Bovington, screamed. As she frantically called an ambulance, neighbours and a private security guard heard the cries and rushed to render first aid. One eyewitness described seeing an unidentified man vault a low wall, run between some bushes and get straight into a waiting vehicle which immediately sped off. To this day, Allen relies on a wheelchair, paralysed below his upper chest. Allen gained notoriety as one of the ringleaders of what remains Britain’s biggest ever armed robbery. In 2006, Allen was part of a balaclava-wearing gang toting guns including an AK-47 assault rifle who threatened to kill staff at the Securitas depot in Tonbridge, Kent. They stole £53m in Bank of England cash notes – leaving behind £154m which would not fit into their lorry. Allen fled to Morocco four days later, but was arrested in Rabat alongside friend and fellow robber Lee Murray, who remains in jail in nearby Tiflet. In January 2008, Allen was extradited to the UK and subsequently sentenced to 18 years in prison. Allen was released in 2016 and moved back to his roots in south-east London. But he relocated to Woodford with his partner and two younger children after a gunman opened fire at him and his pregnant daughter in the doorway of their Woolwich home in September 2018. Ten months later, Allen almost died after those two bullets hit him as he stood in the kitchen of his Woodford haven. Prosecutors argued the Ahearnes and Kelly were equally culpable in the plot to murder Allen – which involved a hired car, surveillance and unregistered pay-as-you-go phones. “This was a meticulously researched and planned assassination attempt by a team of men well versed in the level of criminality to pull it off,” prosecutor Michael Shaw KC said. In discovering how the three knew where to find Allen, police would uncover their criminality stretched into mainland Europe. The Geneva job and the Mayfair hotel sting Just one month before the shooting, the Ahearne brothers and Kelly stood outside the Museum of Far Eastern Art in Geneva equipped with a sledgehammer, angle grinders and crowbars. Within seconds of forcing their way through the front door, they shattered glass casings housing 14th Century Chinese Ming Dynasty antiques. Three items were seized – a rare pomegranate vase; a doucai-style wine cup and a porcelain bowl – and had a combined insured value of £2.8m. In their hurry to flee, Stewart scraped his stomach against the sides of the hole the gang had made in the front wooden door – leaving traces of his DNA. He also hired the getaway car, a Renault Koleos from Avis at Geneva Airport. Louis was caught on CCTV filming the inside and outside of the museum the day before the raid. Within days of returning to south-east London with the stolen goods, the trio set about attempting to dispose of the items they had pinched. The brothers flew to Hong Kong with Kelly as they tried to sell one of the stolen items at an auction house. The auction house tipped off police in London, who were able to send undercover officers posing as art dealers to catch some other gang members in a sting operation as two of them tried to sell another plundered item which had been concealed in a JD Sports bag. During a seven-week trial at the Old Bailey, prosecutors argued that international burglary proved the Ahearnes and Kelly were “at the top end” of criminality. But little did police know while pursuing the stolen antiquities, the three would leave behind near-enough similar clues to give away their presence in the Woodford shooting. The hire car and the Oasis purchase In the hours after the shooting, the crime scene in Woodford was forensically examined. Six bullet casings fired from a Glock self-loading handgun were found, as were scuff marks on the
