On Friday, Tommy Robinson was arrested for “breaching the peace” while filming outside Leeds Crown Court during the ongoing trial of a Muslim grooming gang. Robinson’s preexisting suspended sentence for “contempt of court” was immediately reinstated and he was swiftly imprisoned. Robinson being jailed for any length of time in a prison system filed with people who want him dead could tragically be a death sentence. The court also instituted a “reporting restriction” on the Robinson situation, leading to a media blackout among United Kingdom-based publications and citizens. In the United Kingdom, 2018 is 1984. Stefan Molyneux reports.
Lauren Southern, who has often worked with Robinson on Internet projects, offered this update: “Tommy had a suspended sentence from a while ago for reporting on grooming gangs. He was essentially being watched to see if he ‘messed up’ again by reporting on these cases. When he got arrested it was because he was livestreaming about another grooming gang case – however my statement about him seemingly being within his rights, just reading things that were already reported – still stands for now.
“As for the media ban, that existed on the original sentence and is just being enforced again. What this means, is yes you can talk about it as an average every day citizen, but if you were to go to the court room, and try to get more facts it etc. like journalists who were in the court today – you would not be able to publish that without facing legal troubles.
“So…. that leaves us to a lot of speculation – and it’s also why I have to make these corrections because I’m getting all my information second hand and not from the courts.”
Tommy Robinson was sentenced to a year in prison on Friday. There is a UK publication ban on this story, but Canada’s Ezra Levant and TheRebel.media can give you a full account of what happened.
