Trial hears Robinson 'intimidated' Daily Mail reporters
Prosecutors say Robinson used X posts, direct messages and a phone call to threaten two MailOnline journalists with violence.
- On Monday, British far-right activist Tommy Robinson arrived at Southwark Crown Court in London to begin his five-day trial on charges of allegedly harassing two journalists.
- Prosecutors charged Robinson with two counts of harassment causing fear of violence toward MailOnline reporters Andrew Young and Jacob Dirnhuber following alleged incidents between August 5 and 7, 2024.
- Robinson allegedly told Young during a phone call on August 5, 2024, "I'm coming to get you," and sent Dirnhuber a message stating, "I'll be knocking at your door."
- The activist, who founded the English Defence League, entered not guilty pleas in July 2025; on Sunday evening, he posted online thanking supporters for "the latest round of lawfare."
- Robinson arrived Monday to cheers from supporters, including one individual in a Union flag suit, ahead of the five-day legal proceedings regarding the alleged harassment charges.
