Tommy Robinson allegedly threatened to make Daily Mail journalists' families 'famous', his harassment trial jury hears
Photos of reporter Andrew Young's wife and child were shared to Robinson's followers, Southwark Crown Court heard. Young's family reported a grey Audi parked outside their home with a man inside. Days later, two men in a car shouted at his daughter. Editor Jacob Dirnhuber said he was 'scared to go to my own house'. Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, denies two counts of harassment.
The row allegedly began after the Mail pictured him on a Cyprus sunbed during the Southport unrest.
Young told the court he believed Robinson said: 'I'm coming to get you.'
Young feared Robinson's 800,000 followers on X 'might have been tempted to seek revenge'.
