Newsweek ^ | May 27, 2025 | Shane Croucher

The British far-right activist Tommy Robinson—an alias for his real name, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon—thanked Elon Musk as he walked free from prison on parole after a judge granted him early release.

Robinson, 42, was partway through an 18-month jail sentence for violating a court order barring him from repeating libelous allegations against a teenage Syrian refugee, whom he had falsely accused of being a violent bully in school.

He made a documentary film titled Silenced about the boy and the legal consequences Robinson faced for repeating his claims, which he shared on X, formerly Twitter, owned by the billionaire Musk.

Any time you see a gratuitous editorial comment like "libelous allegations" you know they are lying.

They put Tommy in prison for making a documentary about it.

Yes I watched the video and a number of people spoke about the Syrian kid being a real problem. and it showed how the government tried to cover it up.

Any time you see a gratuitous editorial comment like "libelous allegations" you know they are lying.

Any time you see the heading "Newsweek" you know they are lying. Same thing with CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, New York Times, Washington Post, etc.
