The former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson has said he has become "the most wanted man on either side" since leaving the far-right group.
The 30-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, said he had received a number of death threats since resigning last week.
Appearing in court charged with two public order offences, he said his decision to quit had "upset a lot of people".
"The people who the death threats are coming from are the people who I was opposing anyway – they were the elements that were always on the outside of the English Defence League, they were around it always wanting to hijack it," he said.
Yaxley-Lennon, from Luton, said he had received threats from Muslim extremists and from Nazis. "I am the most wanted man on either side," he said. » | Press Association | Wednesday, October 16, 2013
