Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The far-right activist known as Tommy Robinson used “bullyboy, intimidatory tactics” to threaten journalists and cause them to fear for their safety, a court has been told as his harassment trial got under way.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Opening the case at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, prosecutor Ben Holt told jurors the defendant “threatened” the journalists after what he perceived to be “an unnecessary intrusion into his holiday”.
“Understandably, you might agree, they were scared, in some circumstances, being forced to leave their homes.”
Mr Holt said Robinson’s case is that his family had been put in danger by the actions of the Daily Mail.
