ANTI-RACIST campaigners stood their ground as 1,000 thugs gathered outside the Old Bailey today to support hate preacher “Tommy Robinson,” whose case was referred back to the Attorney General.

The far-right leader, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is pursuing an appeal after being found guilty of contempt of court when he broke reporting restrictions by filming at grooming trials being heard at Leeds Crown Court in May.

He was handed a 13-month jail sentence but was granted bail in August and has now been referred to the Attorney General as his case is “so complex.”
