DC: Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson was arrested Friday outside of a British court hearing on a gang accused of forcing women into sex, prompting protests Saturday.
Robinson was livestreaming on Facebook outside of a Leeds court when police arrested him for allegedly breaching the peace, according to The Independent. The Independent attempted to downplay Robinson’s claim of reporting on the grooming gang trial by putting “reporting” in quotes.
Video shows Robinson being whisked off by police as he demands to know the reason for his arrest. “This is ridiculous, I haven’t said a word…I’ve done nothing,” he said.
Robinson was sentenced to 13 months in jail for the crime, while the judge prohibited reporting of the verdict within the United Kingdom. No major British outlet reported on the sentence, and Breitbart redacted Robinson’s name from its report on the case.
According to The Independent, a contempt of court offense can be used to silence reporting on criminal procedures. Robinson was arrested while on a suspended sentence for a similar offense. In 2017, he was arrested and convicted of filming accused rapists as they headed into court.
The judge in that case claimed it was not about “freedom of the press, nor about legitimate journalism, and not about political correctness,” but “about preserving the integrity of the jury to continue without people being intimidated or being affected by irresponsible and inaccurate ‘reporting.’”
Robinson’s supporters claim that he possibly could be murdered in jail due to his marked reputation among Muslim prisoners. Watch

Tommy’s already in the prison hospital. I have a deadpool up on my twiiter feed…which I’m currently banned from….but you should all vote. Most people seem to think he’ll be dead by Sunday.
Seems legit.
Madness!……Madness! This country is off the insanity chart. Demented, politically correct capitulation. Churchill wouldn’t recognize his country. The Land of Hope and Glory has become the Land of Despair and Shame.
That’s pretty chilling. I wish the Brits would grow some balls and support this guy. Is Katie Hopkins for the same treatment?
next
@ AB- that is some serious prediction to make…
What is deadpool and how can I go about voting for ones death?
Why would the Brits kill him? Of course he is a threat but death in a prison from an arrest?
@ organ – yes very chilling.
“Why would the Brits kill him?”
He’s in jail with some of the guys from the gang he was warning his country about.
They will kill him.
@ Claudia – gotcha and very perceptive.
IF he is in a ‘Bullpen’ type of cell not good.
Police, no offense, putting opposing forces in the same cell after a ‘protest’ ain’t nothing new.
Talk about a shiv…

The King is dead…Long Die the King.
Wankers everyone of em.
Tommy Robinson is a name that every person in America should know. What they did to him is chilling. He will be dead in a few days. He has sacrificed his life for undeserving scum cowards. I wish he was an American, we could have used him. God Bless Tommy Robinson. I wish I could do something for him.

Calm down and let’s see what transpires!
That said, revolutions come from current wild circumstances…
This is the definition of what a political prisoner is. This is the kind of person you offer asylum.
Nah, this is the kind of prisoner you storm the jail to free and set fire to Whitehall.
Oh, and vote on the deapool on my twitter feed, superaaronburr. The Katie Hopkins deadpool will follow shortly.
That could’ve been here if Hillary got in. That’s what they’re working toward as we speak. I have absolutely no doubt about it.
Maggy called it 20 years ago. TONY IS DESTROYING THE UK! more proof Tony did in fact destroy the country!
AT THE MOMENT THERE IS A GOVERNMENT D-NOTICE IN PLACE BANNING ALL UK MEDIA ON THE PAIN OF ARREST AND JAIL FOR REPORTING ON THIS CASE [ ED UK ]
A D OR DESIST ON REPORTING NOTICE IS ISSUED IN THE INTEREST OF NATIONAL SECURITY ??????
When in England in 2011, a London policeman I was talking to referred to the English Defense League as “skinheads”. They are nothing of the sort. They are good people who were trying to protect the public from roving bands of filthy Muslim jihadists who were terrorizing everyone they could. My wife and I experienced this for ourselves when six of the goat humpers burst into the restaurant and began to scream “Allahu Akbar” while reaching under their clothes as if they were going to set off bomb vests. The EDL came in and herded them out of the restaurant. We all need to pray for Tommy Robinson.
Weinstein and all……
would have been knighted if they had been in England….
England must not have a “MeToo” movement.
