Nothing he has presented or reported is incorrect, as far as I can tell.

He’s not been sued for libel!

Douglas Murray says the same things as Tommy Robinson, some times going further, he never gets vilified, because he has a posh accent.

Yes, he is in prison for contempt of court.

He was sued for libel and lost as far as I can see. It was after that in which in which he repeated the disproven crimes that got him the jail time for contempt.

16-year-old boy, believed to be the attacker, who was interviewed by police and given a court summons, had shared numerous social media posts by Robinson.[204] On Facebook, Robinson subsequently posted a screenshot of a message from a mother saying her daughter had been bullied and he accused the refugee of being the bully. However, the mother responded on Robinson's Facebook page informing him this was false.[206] Robinson also made a false allegation using a photo stolen from a news article on a teenage cancer patient.[207]

These events forced the refugee's family to relocate because "the level of abuse the children have received has become too much".[208] The family decided to move elsewhere in West Yorkshire.[209] Robinson may have breached court orders preventing the naming of the alleged perpetrator in several videos on Facebook and Instagram, including one that was viewed more than 150,000 times. A lawyer said in doing so Robinson had "compounded" the refugee's suffering, adding "many people on social media having viewed Mr Yaxley-Lennon's [Robinson's] lies believed them and expressed their outrage toward [the refugee]."[210]

On 22 July 2021, Robinson was found to have libelled the boy and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs,[218] which were understood to amount to a further £500,000. An injunction was also granted to stop Robinson from repeating the libel.[219] Robinson, who represented himself during the four-day trial, said he was "gobsmacked" by the costs the victim's lawyers were claiming, which he said included £70,000 for taking witness statements. He added: "I've not got any money. I'm bankrupt. I've struggled hugely with my own issues these last 12 months ... I ain't got it."[218] In January 2022, an independent insolvency expert was appointed by Robinson's creditors (who include the schoolboy and the boy's lawyers – owed an estimated £1.5m in legal costs) to find any assets or money that Robinson could be hiding.[17]
