The main stream media reported that Yaxley-Lennon was released on a mere technicality. Anybody who has read the court of appeal judgment will know that it was more than a mere technicality. It is fake news designed to mislead the general public.

Judge Marson did indeed proceed as is said. However at paragraph 20 and 64 of the Court of Appeal Judgment it is suggested that Marson was wrong to proceed on that basis. At para 64 it is said no particulars of the contempt were ever formulated or put to Yaxley-Lennon and further that there was a muddle over what the contempt actually was.

So the answer to anon @ 0832 seems to be that Yaxley-Lennon is telling the truth. He did not plead guilty. Whats more (i) he was not given the opportunity to plead guilty and (ii) no coherent allegations were put to him. Yet he was locked up and Judge Marson gagged the reporting of this.

Like him or loath Tommy Robinson, the treatment of him by Judge Marson was disgraceful.

I am very surprised that Mr Rosenberg appears not to have read the Court of Appeal Judgment.

Quite frankly you really should not believe anything the main stream media tell you. At the weekend, the Times headlined that a reduction in university fees would hit the poorest students. How exactly? The repayment of fees is based on future earnings. The media is destroying itself by peddling persistent fake news to appease the liberal elite.
