#TommyRobinson yet again failed to turn up to his court hearing today to be questioned on his finances after losing a libel case to Syrian refugee boy, Jamal Hijazi.
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) will be sent to the High Court for possible Contempt of Court.
And has also been spreading misinformation on Russia's war in #Ukraine, amplifying the Kremlin’s line during the current war in Ukraine and becoming Putin's useful idiot 👇 hopenothate.org.uk/2022/03/17/tom…

Our investigations took us to this run-down house, with steel bars over the windows and metal grilled gates across the doors. All around the property were cameras.
What is certain is that this property adds almost £800,000 to #TommyRobinson's property portfolio and with development on the attached land maybe two or three times that amount.
1/ Today, the @Conservatives Party Conference starts in Blackpool.
While the Tories distract from the rampant #Islamophobia that runs deep within the party, we thought we would remind you of recent events 👇
A thread 🧵
2/ We recently produced a dossier on #Islamophobia within the Tory Party and sent a copy of our submission to the Singh inquiry to all 360 Tory MPs.
The dossier revealed over 30 different MPs, councillors and other senior figures guilty of engaging with anti-Muslim hate online.
3/ Much to our surprise, not one Tory MP engaged with our submission to the Singh inquiry adequately despite the party’s problematic Islamophobic nature.
The crisis in Ukraine is ongoing and we know it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming to find practical ways to help.

The word p*ki has come back into the public eye, so we thought it might be useful to give a brief overview of the words racist history.
A THREAD 👇🏽🧵
After South Asians were invited by British employers to rebuild post WW2 Britain, many nationalists and members of the public felt their ideal of the majority White Britain disappearing.
Soon came the bullying in the 1960s-1980s which was to be coined ‘P*ki-bashing’
These attitudes threatened the livelihoods of immigrants and British Brown residents and were exacerbated by the media and politicians like Enoch Powell.
1. Focus on places and people, to avoid a slow recovery in the areas which can least afford it. A drive to improve resilience must recognise the reasons for economic decline in different areas.
2. Invest in integration, so that communities can be as resilient, optimistic, and open as possible. The past few years have seen major budget reductions when it comes to cohesion and community work.
Just over a year ago, former White Rose player @AzeemRafiq30 first made allegations of institutional racism at the club. The subsequent investigation by @YorkshireCCC found that p*ki is just "good natured banter" #RunRacismOut
While the report found that it was “not reasonable for Azeem to have been offended”, it did find that Rafiq had been a victim of “racial harassment and bullying”.
The club issued an apology, however were “pleased” to announce that no further disciplinary action would be taken.
"I am proud to support this campaign by HOPE not hate. When investigating racism, the process needs transparency, not only so people know what happened, but so we can learn from it.
