Over the summer, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was elevated to a free speech martyr聽on the international far right after a stunt he pulled outside of a courthouse in Leeds, England, that had potential to spoil a just trial. He was arrested, and right-wing personalities quickly flocked to his cause.

He currently faces charges of being in contempt of court for violating a court-ordered media blackout surrounding a criminal trial. In May, Robinson was arrested and convicted for filming defendants arriving at the courthouse. The defendants in the high-profile criminal case were聽accused of involvement in child-sex-abuse rings known as 鈥済rooming gangs.鈥� Robinson's initial 13-month sentence was later quashed, and he was released on bail in August.

Robinson鈥檚 travel plans are pending the outcome of the case, which has been sent to the attorney general. However, he is already making plans to tap into a network of international supporters who rallied behind him.

Rumors about an upcoming world tour surfaced during a controversial聽聽for Robinson in the House of Lords. On Monday, Robinson聽聽plans to tag along on an Australian speaking tour featuring Gavin McInnes, leader of the street-brawling hate group the聽Proud Boys.

Robinson posted a video saying he鈥檚 joining up with McInnes on what is being billed as 鈥淭he Deplorables鈥� tour. 鈥淚 guess there鈥檚 going to be a lot of people getting triggered in Australia and hopefully a lot of people happy I鈥檒l be coming,鈥� Robinson said in the video. This will not be the first time McInnes has given the former 聽leader a platform. The EDL are a thuggish anti-Muslim street movement that, like McInnes鈥櫬燩roud Boys, have engaged in violent street actions.

Robinson鈥檚 Australia announcement came at the heels of news last week that he had been invited to speak in the United States by Daniel Pipes鈥� Middle East Forum (MEF), the anti-Muslim hate group David Horowitz Freedom Center, and seven members of Congress, including Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Arizona).

He is slated to appear in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14 at a closed-door event sponsored by the Conservative Opportunity Society, which is chaired by Rep. Steve King聽(R-Iowa). Robinson is also聽聽to speak at a ticketed event later that day.

Robinson will not be the first controversial figure to聽聽at the Conservative Opportunity Society. Previous speakers include former Breitbart executive , anti-Muslim demagogue Brigitte Gabriel聽and Austrian anti-Muslim activist Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff.

Pipes鈥� MEF bankrolled聽two 鈥淔ree Tommy鈥� rallies in London over the summer, including one that turned violent. Pipes鈥� group聽聽for Rep. Gosar to attend and speak at one of the rallies on July 14. MEF also helped fund Robinson鈥檚 legal defense and has vowed to 鈥渃ontinue to support Mr. Robinson personally.鈥�

Robinson鈥檚 past criminal conduct聽could complicate his travel visa to the U.S. In 2010, he was barred from entering the country while trying to attend a protest against the Park51 Islamic Center in New York City. Two years later, he used a friend鈥檚 passport to illegally gain entry into the U.S. to 聽at a gathering put on by Stop the Islamization of Nations (SION), a transatlantic anti-Muslim coalition headed by notorious Muslim-basher Pamela Geller. Robinson鈥檚 rap sheet also includes assault, drug and public order offenses聽and mortgage fraud.

The Guardian 聽Robinson in an Oct. 25 article as part of 鈥渁 new breed of entrepreneurial activists who are bringing extremist myths into the mainstream.鈥�

鈥淭he real challenge posed by the far right is its success at spreading anti-Muslim and xenophobic attitudes in society at large.鈥� The article concludes, 鈥淪tephen Yaxley-Lennon is just one symptom of a bigger problem 鈥� which must be challenged, locally and internationally, before it starts to do serious damage.鈥�
