Police are investigating after video footage emerged of Tommy Robinson inside the Old Bailey at a contempt of court hearing.

The video of Robinson, 35, appears to be from inside the canteen of the Central Criminal Court. It shows him looking down at a crowd of protesters gathered outside the court.

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was at court today where his contempt of court case was adjourned by a judge.

The footage was shared by a supporter of Tommy Robinson.

Whoever filmed the footage could now also face a contempt of court charge as it is illegal to take photographs or film inside courts in England and Wales, or in their precincts.

The footage shows Robinson go to a court window as people shout “we want Tommy out” from the street below.

City of London Police confirmed the force had been made aware of the footage and was investigating.

A spokesperson said: “We have been made aware of a video on social media which appears to show filming taking place inside the Central Criminal Court, and has been shared online. We will be looking into whether any offences have been committed.”

The Contempt of Court case against Robinson was adjourned until October 23.

The 35-year-old was greeted by cheers from around 300 people who had earlier chanted his name.

Protesters from a smaller counter-demonstration carried placards saying “oppose Tommy Robinson”.
