3. There's also the small matter of an ongoing libel case against Yaxley-Lennon

This is from April:

Tommy Robinson libel case: Trial set to go ahead after ruling
...
The English Defence League founder is being sued by Jamal Hijazi, who featured in a viral video of a playground attack.
...
The original footage, widely shared in 2018, showed Mr Hijazi being pushed to the ground and threatened with drowning at Almondbury School in Huddersfield.

Videos made by Mr Yaxley-Lennon, 37, claimed Mr Hijazi was "not innocent and he violently attacks young English girls in his school".

He also claimed Mr Hijazi "beat a girl black and blue" and "threatened to stab" another boy.

Mr Hijazi "emphatically denies" the allegations.

His lawyers claim Mr Yaxley Lennon's "racist invective" led to the teenager and his family being targeted by "far-right activists" and forced them to leave the area.


A video showing Mr Hijazi, then aged 15, being assaulted was circulated on social media
