Tommy Robinson has been sent back to jail for contempt of court over an online broadcast featuring defendants in a criminal trial

Upon his arrival at the court alongside right-wing commentator Katie Hopkins, Robinson told Sky News he was"being sent to jail for doing what you do" and that his impending sentence was"illegal".Image:Robinson denied any wrongdoing throughout the trial, seemingly unaware of the meaning of contempt of court, which is designed to ensure fair criminal trials.

Anyone can be found in contempt if they are deemed to have created a"substantial risk" of prejudice against a suspect, with juries not allowed to be influenced by anything other than the evidence heard in court.The case against Robinson came after he filmed a group of men from a Huddersfield grooming gang who were accused of sex offences against young girls in May 2018.

He also streamed the footage from outside Leeds Crown Court to Facebook to more than 250,000 viewers, which was in breach of a reporting ban, and the video was eventually viewed 3.4 million times. His actions meant the defendants could have been released and the trial restarted, and he could have received up to two years in jail or an unlimited fine.He was originally sentenced to 13 months in jail last summer, but he only served two months after the contempt finding was overturned and he was released.

But the case was referred back to Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, whose decision to cite public interest in bringing fresh proceedings against Robinson was approved by High Court judges back in May.Mr Cox said the latest sentencing"serves to illustrate how seriously the courts will take matters of contempt"..

In the mean time muslim grooming gangs get pretty much zero prison time. But we can't talk about that its racism

Poor Stephen!

He tells it as it is .

Free tommy

Enjoy! dontdropthesoap

Daily mail and daily mirror journalists were in contempt of court in Levi Bellfield case ,the journalists were not jailed strange that hey .

Causing anxiety to child rapists,shame on him he should have turned a machine gun on them not a camera

Sentenced for a crime he already been sentenced for 🤷‍♂️

Pity he wasn’t a Muslim he could have claimed asylum and had a nice home and benefits..🤔

Just to explain further as you didn’t - The people had already been found guilty of child rape. They were attending for their sentence, no case was jeopardised.

British judiciary is now one the most corrupt and abusive in the world, where leftie judges are brought off for rewards and position to abuse the very thing they are supposed to uphold. All took an oath to protect all fairly. Making and example of you hardly sounds fair/impartial

For telling the truth about what happened and how the police and the council did nothing or turned a blind eye for trying not to offend

Enjoy it mate

FreeTommyRobinson

Like him or not he has been sent to jail in the hope that he gets attacked and probably killed and therefore no longer a problem for the establishment.

Shhh now carry on with the very secret trials don’t want the public to realise the scale of the problem. What it dose it matter if Muhammad is still outside the school gates everyday or he flees the country & quietly hushed up, don’t want to offend the community do we.

Result!

This is a shameful, politically motivated sentence! Free Tommy Robinson!!!

And when he comes out will go straight to top of Labour Party -both Hate Jews allegedly

Have a nice summer mate 😂😂

Why is it up to SYL Tommy Robinson, who had the courage to continually report the truth & facts regarding a 20 strong Muslim sex-grooming gang who violated 1000 white British girls?! Where are the British police, protectors & British authorities? And TR is jailed for his efforts!

Seems to be a lot of anger over a contempt of court case.

Hadn't they already been found guilty and were back in court for sentencing?

The Trial had finished with guilty verdicts and the jury disbanded. The gang were awaiting sentence. Facts.

He always seemed such a nice bloke when he played Baldrick in Blackadder.

Tommy Robinson is a repeat offender. No one is above the law, not even him. He deserves it. Perhaps he will think twice before doing it again, although I seriously doubt it.

Great news, If you're found guilty of a crime, you go to prison. Best place for him.

Tommy Robinson voicing his anger towards musling grooming gangs raping our children yet people condemn him for who he is. Who's side are you on?

Never mind eh

Poorly educated girls from underprivileged working class backgrounds that successions of Governments have destroyed DO NOT MATTER. But hey ho mylovely law abiding Gardner in my privileged white leafy suburb is not a Pakistani rapist is a lovely chap and it doesn’t affect me 🤭

When did Tommy Robinson become a feckin journalist?

It’s sad and Tommy’s right with the Islam topic in england. It won’t get any better it will get worse. Islam will breed you out and you will lose your culture and identity “ anglo-Saxons”. Sad looking in as an outsider.

Getting like China by the day

convictedforbreakingthelaw

deserved

Absolutely disgusting decision!!!!!

Does shirt read 'convicted.…. because I' m guilty'?

Excessive and vindictive. This is state persecution, not justice. They know he’s likely to be attacked and possibly killed in prison. Foreign rapists and murderers avoid deportation on flimsier human rights grounds. Nobody else would be treated like this. This is political.

'Violent clashes with police.' More lies — you are not a trusted news source. How about reports on the Pakistani child rapists gangs for a change.

Our justic system is corrupt. I am ashamed. If Tommy was a muslim reporter doing the exact same thing. Nothing would happen. Look at the Rotheram Police. They let girls get raped and did nothing. They did not want to upset the muslim community. Disgraceful. Shame on you.

Agree with TommyRobinson sentence is a 'joke'. Too short, won't deter him. He'll do it again.

Welcome to Prison Tommy

Tommy getting his cheeks clapped behind bars for 10 weeks? You just love to see it

Totally DISGUSTING sending him to jail .Britain better protect him in jail or they will pay a price they’re no ready for
