In case anyone was wondering why Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also know by a number of other names including
Little Tommy Robinson, was sent to jail

If you breach a Court Order and plead guilty to Contempt of Court this is what happens

Why was Stephen Yaxley Lennon sent to jail
Answer by Grok

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, known by the alias Tommy Robinson, was sent to jail for contempt of court. Here are the key reasons based on available information:

Contempt of Court for Breaching a Court Order: In 2021, Yaxley-Lennon lost a libel case against a Syrian refugee, Jamal Hijazi, and was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages. He was also subjected to an injunction that barred him from repeating the false allegations he had made against Hijazi. Despite this, Yaxley-Lennon repeatedly breached this court order by continuing to make and distribute the same false claims, including in a film titled "Silenced." His actions led to contempt of court charges, for which he was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
