So, does he think he should be forgiven?

"I think my work speaks for itself now. To dismantle it and pull it down, which is something I didn’t have to do, I could have changed my name and disappeared.

"It's difficult and scary. There are parts of London I won't go to because I've made myself a target.

"I think I should be forgiven but I'm not doing this for forgiveness. I'm doing it because I want to reverse what I've done. But if you're asking that question, I would say so."

In the end, though, it is not the accused who gets to grant forgiveness. It's those who’ve suffered. I'm left wondering how much Caolan's own criticism of Robinson, that "he doesn't think anything," can be applied to himself.

Unlike Robert Oppenheimer, Caolan Robertson didn't know. In the aftermath of the Orlando nightclub shooting, he didn't know the online media he began to consume was extreme. When he began creating his own far-right content, he didn't know who Tommy Robinson was. And after producing days and days worth of extremist video, disseminating racism and hate, he didn't know it would move others to violence. Whether that’s believable, is for you to decide.
Sounds like just as much an opportunist as SYL. Flips sides to carry on making money, and I'm sure he'll do the same again.

Nice £100,000 damages awarded for libel. I'm sure SYL will fish it out of his supporters, won't sell the Range Rover.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that he had transferred all his assets into his wife's name.

However that won't stop the grifting.

ETA Apparently he has to pay the other side's court costs as well....estimated to be £500k roflroflrofl
