You can watch the you tube video that originally got Tommy Robinson arrested. He would not have been arrested here like he was there. Its a public street you are allowed to film people and ask questions. He did nothing extraordinary. He said they were alleged to have committed the crimes.
What strikes me is where are the journalists covering this trial? If this was in the US the media would be packed in. But in London its just Tommy Robinson. No media coverage at all. What these men were accused of dwarfs the guy at Michigan State or even Sandusky at Penn. St yet no one is there covering it?
And the gag order on any news reports about his arrest and sentencing? That is also something that would never be allowed here.
There was an order for the press not to cover it. No one would have known if it were not for Tommy Robinson. They could have just gone about it quietly. As we can see, few in the US know how they can blackout the media. That is why this is a very big deal. We have ad much in common with the UK as we did in 1776. I knew the UK was bad but I did not know it was this bad. They will not be considered in my travel plans.
Found this as a side effect of this event. Its an interview by the David Reuben and Brigitte Gabriel.
David Reuben is of course a great force in true liberalism and Brigitte Gabriel gives a terrifying glimpse at what an unstemmed tide of those who do not share these values can do. Once there were enough Muslims they destroyed Lebanon,
Public photography is perfectly legal in the UK excaept in relation to areas such as military bases or those engaded in national security. Filiming places such schools which are private property may also lead to police action for obvious reasons.
In terms of Courts it is a criminal offence to photograph anyone entering or leaving a Court building under the 1925 Criminal Justice Act, and that includes those accused of crimes, jurors, witnesses and member of the judiciary. There are usually signs in and around Court buildings explaining the law and the law was explained to Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lenon) during a hearing for contempt in Canterbury.
Tommy Robinson (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) turned up in Leeds on Thursday despite being on a suspended sentence in relation to filming at a court, to film people going into the trial of several Muslim men accused of “grooming” and sexually assaulting white girls. Furthermore you have to be careful not to prejudice an on-going trial, and what Robinson should have done is wait for the men to be found guilty and then make a video highlighting it rather than film outside courts in relation to an on-gpoing case where the accussed are innocent until proven guilty, indeed even the media has to be careful as to what is written in relation to on-going cases.
Whilst I find it strange that the police used 'Breach of the Peace' to arrest him, he certainly did break the terms of his suspended sentence and it's his constant disregard for the law and lack of common sense that had ended with him being returned to prison.
In terms of the prison system he is not going to be murdered, indeed there are child rapists, child killers, serial killers and people of every perverted persuasion in prison and what the authorities do is assess them and put them on Rule 45 which means they go to a special unit for Vulnerable Prisoners (VP's), indeed their are whole prisons for such people in terms of sex offenders, and most prisons have VP wings. Rule 43 in relation to segregation from the general population is another option.
Tommy Robinson has a 3 month prison sentence, although this may be reduced in relation to good behaviour, and if there is a risk to him then the prison authorities are held responsible and he must be offered 'protective custody'.
Well that's a problematic law, since a person just turning up to be charged or adjudicated can occupy the same courthouse steps as one already convicted or recently exonerated (unless talking pictures of the previously accused person is also VERBOTEN).
These are fascist laws and techniques designed only to create a veil around judicial proceedings. There is no excuse for secrecy in any facet of government work, whether its policing, adjudicating, or doing paperwork. The government's business is the people's business...all of it, all of the time.
They tried to kill him once by sticking him in a locked room with a group of extremist Muslims. Think they won't try again? They'd love to shut him up for good.

Look what they did to that other lad they put in prison for speaking out against Islam. They beat him so bad he was vergitalized.
The UK government loves killing its own citizens. There is documented proof of it, unlike with Syria.
I wonder if Trump will bomb London.
