Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was jailed for contempt of court after live streaming outside a criminal trial at Leeds Crown Court.

Supporters of the former EDL boss have called for him to be released, and held various protests.

Now, a firefighter has taken to his social media account "Jono Booth" and claims to have been suspended after supporting Robinson on Facebook.

The open account account messaged publicly in support of jailed Robinson.

After a number of messages, the account claimed the firefighter was leaving Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service after being suspended over his conduct on Facebook.

The post read: “Well after 22 years in the fire service as a firefighter for Nottinghamshire, yesterday I had a phone call from the fire service saying that I’ve been suspended from duty with immediate effect and I had to hand in my on call alerter and photo I.D card.

“On asking for what reason this was happening I was told I was going to be investigated on some of the content I had recently put on Facebook.”

He added: “Since yesterday morning’s phone call from them I have since handed my notice in at the fire service.

“Firefighter Booth signing off.”

Since his message went viral, the Jono Booth Facebook account has been taken down.

A Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue spokesman said the service would not be commenting on the details of the investigation.

He added: “Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is a highly regarded public service and we continually strive for the highest level of professional standards for all the communities we serve.

“We have clearly established values within the Service and where allegations of breaches of our standards, expectations and values are made, we investigate them thoroughly.”
