EDL's Tommy Robinson arrested outside UK court: judge orders media blackout

UK activist Tommy Robinson was arrested on Friday outside Leeds Crown Court for his reporting on a pedophile grooming trial. Six hours after his arrest, he was given a 13-month prison sentence for violating a prior suspended sentence for a similar "offense," and media outlets were banned from covering the incident by the court, with several outlets removing reports that had already been published.

Robinson is the founder of the English Defence League and an active voice in the illegal immigration problems stemming from the Islamization of the UK.

As he was being taken away you can hear him call out to a friend, "Please George, get me a solicitor, I'm on a suspended sentence, you see."

"A big police van with about seven police officers pulled up and arrested [Robinson] and told him to stop live streaming," Robinson's producer said before RT was ordered to scrub it. "They said it was incitement and a breach of the peace."

Which, of course, is pure poppycock.

"No peace has been breached--there were two other people there and he's been perfectly quiet talking into his phone. [The police] said nothing about the court proceedings, It's very strange."

Inexplicably, the judge who sentenced Robinson, Geoffrey Marson QC, ordered an Orwellian media blackout. Several online publications were forced to delete their articles covering Robinson's arrest.

Last year Robinson was admonished by Judge Heather Norton for filming outside a gang rape case in Canterbury. She handed him a 3-month suspended sentence on the condition he stop covering the trials.

"This is not about free speech, not about the freedom of the press, nor about legitimate journalism, and not about political correctness," Norton told Robinson at the time.

Then what could it possibly be about? She disallowed all of those things in defense of political correctness.

A large group of protesters gathered outside Downing Street on behalf of Tommy Robinson. The hashtag #FreeTommy has become their slogan and hopefully it will go viral on Twitter until he's freed.

Here is a video by @VervimaMedia of some of the protest:

In my gut I believe that Robinson, on some level, wanted to be arrested in order to spark a free speech debate over social media.

Tommy Robinson has just been sentenced to jail for 13 months. There is a UK reporting ban. No one there is allowed to talk about it. #FreeTommy

I don't agree with everything he says, but being arrested for filming a news story outside a courthouse, and imprisoned within 6 hours sounds dystopian #FreeTommy

And finally:

Today Judge Geoffrey Marson QC sentenced a man who may not be named to death in a secret trial that may not be reported on for an offence that may not be mentioned although it is suspected to be for exposing the extent of child abuse and grooming gangs in Britain.

A group of 29 defendants are being tried for sex offenses against children. This has been split into three trials and Robinson was arrested at the second trial. The first trial is still ongoing. You can find out more about these scumbags by clicking here.

All of the men involved should be castrated or killed, in my opinion. The women should lose custody of their child--all of these cases are horrible and disgusting.

Protesters by the courthouse

The fact that this story has been stifled by the British court should scare the crap out of everyone who currently lives in what used to be a free society.

If they can do it in the UK, they can do it here.
