Tommy Robinson Evades UK Arrest Warrant, Stirs Unrest from Luxury Cyprus Resort
  • Tommy Robinson, also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is currently vacationing at a five-star resort near Ayia Napa, Cyprus, while protests and riots erupt in the UK.

  • An arrest warrant has been issued for Robinson after he skipped a court appearance related to a contempt of court case, yet he has been enjoying a luxury stay at the resort with family and friends.

  • During his vacation, Robinson has been seen engaging in leisure activities such as working out and reading, while simultaneously posting provocative content online.

  • The recent protests were sparked by misinformation about a 17-year-old suspect linked to a stabbing incident, which Robinson and others promoted.

  • Campaigners claim Robinson's influence has surged since his social media account was reinstated, now boasting over 800,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter).

  • Despite being out of the country, Robinson continues to support the protests across England and Northern Ireland, asserting that the far right is on the verge of significant change.

  • He has expressed that a 'peaceful revolution' is brewing in the UK, calling for his supporters to be ready for action.

  • A spokesperson for Hope Not Hate criticized Robinson for encouraging unrest and sharing inflammatory messages online, linking his rhetoric to the violence.

  • Authorities have arrested 147 individuals in connection with the protests, which have resulted in injuries among police officers and widespread condemnation from political leaders.

  • The riots have particularly targeted mosques and ethnic minorities, incited by false claims regarding the suspect in the Southport attack.

  • Robinson has a history of legal troubles, including a previous defamation case against a Syrian refugee that resulted in a £100,000 damages order against him.
