Leon demands release of hardened criminal in Britain [1]

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (also known as Tommy Robinson) has a long criminal record.
He has been frequently convicted (and often jailed) over offences of violence (including kicking a police officer in the head), drug dealing, immigration (entering the USA on a fake passport), financial fraud and contempt of court.
He is currently serving 18 months in jail for breaching a court injunction to stop defaming a 15-year-old schoolboy.
Leon (who knows Jack Shit about it) says this: "Why is Tommy Robinson in a solitary confinement prison for telling the truth? He should be freed and those who covered up this travesty should take his place in that cell."
Why does Leon care? Simples: because, in addition to being a thug and a common criminal, Yaxley-Lennon is a prominent racist and Islamaphobe. The schoolboy he defamed is a Syrian refugee i.e. a Muslim. That's all it takes for Leon.
Leon is either unaware (or simply doesn't care) that (i) not only did England's High Court order Yaxley-Lennon to stop defaming the boy, it also awarded the boy £100,000 damages (ii) Yaxley-Lennon admitted in court that he breached the injunction and (iii) unlike in the USA, Britain's judges are not political appointees and, if they jail someone, it's because they're a criminal.
Incidentally the love affair between Leon and Britain's MAGA-wannabe Reform Party appears to be over because Reform's leader, Trump fanboi Nigel Farage, distanced himself from Leon's support of Yaxley-Lennon. A week ago Farage was expecting a $100m donation from Leon. Now Leon says that Farage is not up to the job and should be replaced (hint for Leon: Farage, in true MAGA style, owns the Reform Party lock, stock and barrel and it's impossible to replace him).
