An arrest warrant has been issued for Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon
has fled the country after committing “flagrant” contempt of court relating to a film played at a protest in central London, the High Court has been told.
He did not appear at the hearing and Adam Payter, representing the Solicitor General, said Robinson is believed to have left the country. Robinson “is not within the jurisdiction of the UK”, the court heard, with Mr Payter adding that he had returned to the UK “with the purpose of publishing the film” before leaving the country again “to put himself beyond the reach of this court’s jurisdiction”.
Campaign group Hope Not Hate later alleged that Robinson had ignored the injunction and repeated the allegations, providing a “dossier of evidence” to the Attorney General’s Office, with the Solicitor General then taking legal action.
