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, Yaxley-Lennon was sued for libel. He then repeated the libel and is in prison for contempt of court. He isn’t a folk hero. He’s subject to the same laws as the rest of us. The Contempt of Court Act is indeed draconian - every trainee journalist is lectured on it in detail because it can land you in jail very quickly. ‘Tommy Robinson’ will however have had this very clearly explained to him before he chose to do what he did.
As for Elmo presenting things correctly, well amongst many basic constitutional misunderstandings he’s opined on today is the idea that the King can just dissolve Parliament, without advice, thereby making his failure to ‘rescue’ us by doing so some inexplicable failing of Royal duty.
