## Summary

Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is accused of harassing two Mail journalists after they reported that he was posting about unrest in the UK while on holiday in Cyprus. Prosecutors told a jury at Southwark Crown Court that he used intimidating, retaliatory tactics and urged jurors to judge the case under the rule of law rather than a “vigilante world”. Robinson denies two charges of harassment causing fear of violence.

The court heard that Robinson sent a journalist a message saying, “I’ll be knocking on your door”, phoned another with threats, and that a voicemail left for the Mail’s editor-in-chief said he had located the staff. Prosecutors said Robinson had about one million followers on X and one post was read 4.7 million times. The case relates to events after the Southport killings in July 2024, when journalists tracked Robinson to Cyprus; the article says he was angered by their reporting.
