Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ('Tommy Robinson') is an extremist and we utterly reject his message of hate and division. His so-called support for our community is not welcome or helpful.
Depressing to see Stephen Yaxley Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) on the pro-Israeli demo in London today. Just as we called out antisemites on the pro-Palestinian demo yesterday, so we need to call out Islamophobes on today’s pro-Israel demo.

The way that this report describes CST's view regarding antisemitism in schools during the recent conflict is misleading and minimises the problem. We were not asked for a quote and did not have any input into the report. We will be making a complaint.
