Far-right activists banned from entering Britain

Facebook has taken down anti-Islamic leader Tommy Robinson's official page and Instagram profile for violating its policies on hate speech.

The former English Defence League leader was deemed to have been engaged in "organised hate".

A number of posts on his page had violated the social network's community standards, Facebook said in a blogpost.

It said that it had not taken the decision to remove his page lightly but added he would not be allowed back.

"When ideas and opinions cross the line and amount to hate speech that may create an environment of intimidation and exclusion for certain groups in society - in some cases with potentially dangerous offline implications - we take action," Facebook said in a post.

"Tommy Robinson's Facebook page has repeatedly broken these standards, posting material that uses dehumanising language and calls for violence targeted at Muslims.

"He has also behaved in ways that violate our policies around organised hate."

The ban means that Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, will not be allowed to set up an official Facebook page or Instagram profile in future.

According to Facebook, a written warning had been sent to Mr Robinson last month about a number of posts on his page that had violated its community standards, including:

a post calling Muslims "filthy scum bags"

a post urging people to terrorise and behead those who follow the Koran

a post urging people to "make war" on Muslims

multiple videos depicting individuals being bullied

In January, YouTube suspended adverts on Mr Robinson's account, saying he had broken the site's advertising rules.

At the time, Mr Robinson denied they contained any "hateful" content and said he was the victim of censorship.

In November, PayPal said it would no longer process payments for Mr Robinson.

In May, Mr Robinson, 35, was jailed for contempt of court. The 13-month sentence sparked a series of #freetommy protests. The conviction was later quashed after procedural concerns.

The case has now been referred to the attorney general.

In March 2018, Mr Robinson was banned from Twitter. It is understood that his account was suspended for breaking its "hateful conduct policy".

About time this little **** was shut down.

his ideas will live as long as there are real Englishmen.

Are you referring here to the Brythons, the Angelcynns, the Saxons, Jutes, Frisians, or the Normans?

No I am referring to anyone who recognizes you cannot coexist with Islam. That leaves you and Izzy out. And stop the historical nitpicking, none of it matters in this.

his ideas will live as long as there are real Englishmen.

But is defined by religious hate

Is the Quran Hate Propaganda?

The pattern of violence and aggressive disregard for human suffering that is persistent in Muslim history and contemporary attitude toward non-believers reflects the message of the Quran, which is one of group superiority and arrogance.

In today's world, Muslim dominance is characterized by the oppression and discrimination of non-Muslims, while Muslim minorities within larger societies are distinguished by varying degrees of petulant demand, discord and armed rebellion. Few Muslims are uncomfortable with this blatant double standard, in which Islam either plays the victim or unapologetically victimizes others, depending on its position of power - and the reason is obvious.

Islam is a supremacist ideology in which the role of non-believers is subordinate to the position of Muslims. Those who resist Islamic rule are to be fought until they are either killed or fully humiliated and forced to acknowledge their inferior status by converting to Islam or by paying a poll-tax and otherwise accepting the subjugation of their own religion.

There is simply no other religion on earth that draws such sharp distinction between its own members and others, or devotes as much of its holiest text toward condemning and dehumanizing those who merely choose not to follow its dogma.

A sexual abuse charity received "hundreds of abusive calls" after ex-English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson criticised it on Facebook.

The Facebook post, referring to a Rape Crisis poster promoting a helpline for ethnic minority victims, said: "I guess it's ok to rape white women then?"

The charity said its switchboard, based in High Wycombe, was inundated with "harassing" phone calls.

The BBC has contacted Tommy Robinson for comment.

A Rape Crisis spokeswoman said: "The centre received hundreds of abusive and harassing calls to support lines which are there for victims of very traumatic experiences.

"The calls undoubtedly had a disruptive and shocking impact on a service that's there to help people."

She added: "When I spoke to the centre on Friday lunchtime they had received more than 200 calls, emails and messages that were directly related to the content of that social media post.

"They were not from people purporting to be victims and survivors of sexual violence, they were from people criticising or abusing the service or its staff."

The charity said some of the calls were of a "racist" nature and police had been informed. Thames Valley Police has been approached for comment.

It added: "We recognise that some victims can face additional barriers such as language and previous experience of racism, so it's appropriate to provide specialist services.

"This in no way discriminates against white women."

The Facebook post was published on Thursday afternoon and attracted more than 2,000 comments in its first 24 hours.

‘Historical nitpicking’ , I hate when that happens.

He [Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon] also said he was considering organising a demonstration against tech companies with other far-right personalities who have been banned, and personally appealed to Donald Trump for help.

“Donald Trump – if you don’t step in now, the platforms and the voices that share the truth of what they are doing are being removed across the world. People have to speak now.”

A Tory councillor has been suspended by the Conservative Party after a Facebook group he moderates was found to contain several Islamophobic and racist comments.

Martyn York, a Conservative councillor in Wellingborough, was a moderator for “Boris Johnson: Supporters’ Group”, which included comments calling for the bombing of mosques around the UK.

The group, which has 4,800 members, can only be joined after receiving approval from moderators, and its guidelines call on members not to post hate speech.

Comments on the group, however, violate these rules, with several referring to Muslims as “ragheads” and calling immigrants “cockroaches”.

In one comment, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is called a “conniving little muzrat”, and Muslim Labour MP Naz Shah is also targeted with abuse and told to “p*** off to [her] own country”.

Dorinda Bailey, a former Conservative council candidate, has also been accused of supporting Islamophobia with her response following a post in the group calling for mosques to be bombed.

After someone posted that any mosques “found to preach hate” should be shut down, another user commented: “Bomb the f****** lot.”

Ms Bailey said: “I agree, but any chance you could edit your comment please. No swearing policy.”

There were also comments in the group telling an African solider to “p*** off back to Africa” and for Labour MP Fiona Onasanya to be “put on a banana boat back home”.

After the offensive posts were highlighted, Conservative Party chairman Brandon Lewis confirmed Mr York’s suspension and said Ms Bailey was no longer a member of the party.

A man has been charged with assault after Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn was egged in north London.

It happened as Mr Corbyn and the shadow home secretary Diane Abbott were visiting Finsbury Park Mosque in Seven Sisters Road just before 16:00 GMT on Sunday.

John Murphy, 31, from Barnet, has been charged with assault by beating, the Metropolitan Police said.

He is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on 19 March.

Mr Corbyn continued with his planned programme of events following the egging in his constituency.

The Labour leader later tweeted about the "fantastic opportunity" Visit My Mosque Day had opened up to communities, without mentioning the egging.

Anti-Muslim activist Tommy Robinson has been accused of intimidation after he turned up at the door of a historian who helped fund a legal case against him.

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, turned up on Monday evening at the Luton home of Mike Stuchbery, a historian and columnist for The Independent.

Footage shot by Robinson shows him banging on the front door and windows of Mr Stuchbery’s house, and threatening to make a documentary “exposing” the campaigner.

“At the same time, messages came flooding in via social media. Despite being banned by Facebook, he was using a mate’s account to stream – and the abuse came flooding in,” Mr Stuchbery tweeted, alongside screen grabs of abusive messages.

After police were called, officers convinced Robinson to leave, Mr Stuchbery said, but he returned again at 5am on Tuesday morning.
