Tommy Robinson tries to rewrite history over lost libel case

In 2021, Tommy Robinson lost a libel case against a schoolboy. The reason he lost was simple; it was because he libelled a schoolboy. Now, Robinson is attempting to portray the incident as a case of government suppression:

As we’ll get into, the only thing being oppressed here is the truth.

Tommy Robinson: lying, little toerag

YouTuber Gadget has reported on Tommy Robinson before, specifically covering his documentary Silenced:

In the clip Gadget highlighted, Robinson begins:

I then had an attack by the government, which took me to court. They told everyone I lied.

When he says ‘attack by government’, he means the schoolboy he libelled took him to civil court.

Robinson continued:

There was a story in the North England, I have to be very careful here because I’ll go straight back to prison, but there was a story in the North of England where a child got a bottle of water poured over him, blew up onto World News.

Now, I got told this isn’t the true story. People contact me with stories. So I made a video. I spoke to a mother, spoke to children at school, said, well, you’re not getting the whole story. They then went out, told everyone I lied.

Probably because you lied, mate.

As we reported following the conclusion of the case, Robinson libelled a Syrian refugee named Jamal Hijazi. Hijazi suffered an assault which was filmed and made public. Robinson then:

claimed in two Facebook videos that Jamal was “not innocent and he violently attacks young English girls in his school”.

In the clips viewed by nearly one million people, the 38-year-old also claimed Jamal “beat a girl black and blue” and “threatened to stab” another boy at his school, allegations the teenager denies. At a four-day trial in April, Jamal’s lawyers said that Robinson’s comments had “a devastating effect” on the schoolboy and his family who had come to the UK as refugees from Homs, Syria.

Robinson represented himself in court. He didn’t do a very good job of it, though, because he ended up having to pay £100,000 in damages.

So yeah, in summary, Robinson saw people feeling sorry for a refugee child, and he decided the child had to suffer further.

‘Financial terrorism’

Back to the interview, Robinson continued:

Then I get the court letters. They’re taking me to court. It’s financial terrorism. They hit me for 1.5 million pounds. But when I went to court, I refused to… to apologise. So instead of apologising, I went and wore a hidden camera and I knocked on school teachers’ doors because I knew the school teachers weren’t telling the truth. And when I knocked on the door, I got them all bang to rights. They were all paid. They all told me. They were on camera. They don’t realise they’re on camera.

I took the money, Tommy. That’s an Asian teacher. I took the money. They paid us. We’re not allowed to tell the truth. The head teacher told me, you’re never going to get the truth out there. I’m thinking, yes, I am because you’re on camera, bro. I’m getting the truth out there to the world. So I got all of these things and then I produced them in court. And like that, I said… There you go. Seven teachers. Here’s the school records, guys. Everything I said was true.

Everything I said was true.

True, was it, Tommy?

Gadget thinks otherwise.

‘Tommy lost for a reason’

Taking the libellous little sh*t to school, Gadget explained:

Tommy Robinson was allowed to rewrite history completely unchallenged in a friendly interview.

While discussing his libel loss over the Syrian schoolboy, Tommy fired off a series of claims that simply don’t stand up to scrutiny:

• Tommy says he merely suggested “there was more to the story.” That’s false. He presented as “absolute fact” that the boy had beaten girls “black and blue”, bitten and kicked other pupils, threatened rape and brought knives to school.

• Tommy claims teachers backed up his allegations on hidden camera. They didn’t. No teacher corroborated these claims or said they had been paid in relation to this incident. His film is public and anyone can watch it.

• Tommy claims school records supported him. They didn’t. The records did not show the boy had a history as a violent bully, directly undermining Tommy’s narrative.

Tommy lost this libel case for a reason.

And the fact that Karl Stefanovic let these claims go completely unchallenged was embarrassing “journalism.”

Tommy Robinson has form for this

This is far from the first time that critics have accused Robinson of talking absolute sh*te. Earlier this year, Robinson claimed to need money from his supporters because he was on the run from ISIS:

Tommy Robinson claims to be in serious danger, so why is he posting videos showing what airport he’s flying out of?@willem_moore_uk writes.https://t.co/mhK3kHRAkP

Robinson was not on the run from ISIS. This was obvious, because he kept broadcasting his location to the world. And when he got back from his jollies, he dropped the act entirely.

As ridiculous as stuff like this is, we note that this man is sowing serious dissent. And he doesn’t care who gets hurt in his quest to rile up the rancid supremacists who have spent the past three summers tearing across the country hunting down people of colour:

I wrote this – I think he’ll struggle to make a case for his income or reputation being damaged given that his income is reliant on him begging for money on the back of doing racist things https://t.co/qDEz7AnWt7
