Far-Right Activist Tommy Robinson Allegedly Flees UK After Assault Incident



Tommy Robinson, the far-right activist and founder of the now-defunct English Defence League, is under scrutiny after allegedly fleeing the UK following a serious assault at St Pancras station in London.


Footage from the scene shows Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, pacing nearby moments after a man was left unconscious. Reports indicate he boarded a flight just hours after the incident. While the actual assault was not captured on camera, police have launched an investigation.

Robinson, who was in the capital promoting a protest scheduled for September, has claimed he acted in self-defence. He recently served a seven-month prison sentence for contempt of court.


The incident has raised fresh questions about Robinson’s actions and prompted calls for a thorough inquiry into his involvement.
