Here's some good news for a change.
Far right refugee-hater Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known by his preferred name of Tommy Robinson), has lost his appeal against an 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court.
He claimed that being held in solitary (for his own safety) was damaging to his mental health. Really? How good was his pre-existing mental health when he was attacking non-white people and encouraging riots?
May he rot in hell.
www.bbc.comTommy Robinson loses appeal against prison sentenceThe far-right activist had argued his segregation in jail was damaging to his mental health.
![The High Court has dismissed an attempt by the far-right agitant Stephen
Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, to challenge his jail
conditions.
Yaxley-Lennon argued that his segregation at HMP Woodhill in Milton
Keynes, was destroying his mental health and breaching his human rights.
Dismissing the case, Mr Justice Chamberlain said Yaxley-Lennon’s own
barrister had accepted there was no evidence his client had been segregated
“for the purpose of breaking his resistance or humiliating or debasing him”.
44 On the contrary, all the evidence shows [the decision] was taken for his own
protection and in the interests of preserving the safety of other prisoners and
staff”
He himself had said, when first detained at HMP Belmarsh, that he had a
conflict with the followers of Islam.
It was thus understandable the governor should be concerned that Mr Yaxley-
Lennon’s presence might foment unrest or violence between Muslim and non-
Muslim prisoners.
The former leader of the English Defence League, known for organising racist
and violent protests, was handed an 18-month sentence in October after
admitting he breached a court order which had told him not to repeat lies
about a Syrian refugee.
Yaxley-Lennon has a long history of criminality and has been found guilty of
offences including multiple assaults, mortgage fraud, faking a passport,
stalking, contempt of court and various public order offences.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/201/400/099/533/920/original/c9701ef1428fd09f.png "The High Court has dismissed an attempt by the far-right agitant Stephen
