Tommy Robinson jailed

Just to make it clearer for all, this is from the 2017 case. Not from Friday.

It makes for interesting reading. I'm only halfway through but the judge makes clear that outside the court, the court precinct, counts as the courts environs and so filming is not allowed there.

I’d lock the thread now, the real scum are arriving.

Named in May of last year

Jeez, there is an embargo on this court "case" as it's one of a series of court cases all related to the same initial arrests. It has been made because it's easy to see how people in the jury would hear "X number of people have been found guilty in the trial of" and then they would not pay proper attention to their related court case and not give a fair trail by listening only to the facts presented to them in court to make their mind up.

It's nothing new in large cases against multiple defendants were the cases are staggered so that it's more manageable logistically.

Tony Robinson has a suspended sentence for doing exactly the same before (reporting on an embargoed ongoing court case). It's not a conspiracy to hide the truth from people, but an attempt to bring justice as per the law of the land.

The Sun was perfectly ok to name the suspects at the time of arrest as it was in the public interest and crucially not seen as swaying any potential jury (no embargo).

News outlets are tip toeing around reporting it because it might be seen as an attempt to break that embargo.

Is there one for you too?

He ask a cop, then moved across the road and filmed himself talking.

I just read the rest. Sorry I was delayed. I watched Con Air in between.

Firstly there were the conditions of his suspended sentance. .

There will be no conditions that
need to be attached to that suspended sentence, but
you should be under no illusions that if you commit
any further offence of any kind, and that would
include, I would have thought a further contempt of
court by similar actions, then that sentence of three
months would be activated, and that would be on top of
anything else that you were given by any other court.
In short, Mr. Yaxley-Lennon, turn up at another court,
refer to people as "Muslim paedophiles, Muslim
rapists" and so on and so forth while trials are
ongoing and before there has been a finding by a jury
that that is what they are, and you will find yourself
inside. Do you understand? Thank you very much.

On pages 12,13 and 14 the judge also mentions a few interesting things. The main point is that last year he put a reporting ban on the case until the trial was over. It's because of the ban on the original trial and it extends to the contempt of court one because the judge didn't feel it would be possible to report on one without mentioning the other.

JUDGE NORTON: That stays in place, and certainly I have
already had one member of the press coming to seek to
clarify that with me, and that does include this
gentleman. There was some question as to whether or
not there could be some reporting if it was simply
done in an anodyne way without reference to this
particular trial. I cannot, I have to say, see that
it would benefit the press to do that. I would have
thought that if they are going to report it they would
want to report it fully, at which they are nodding.
So we are at a sensitive juncture, the jury are
expected to retire tomorrow, so we will have verdicts
later this week, so I do prohibit publication of any
matter relating to these proceedings until the
conclusion of the trial.

He later says this includes everything including tweets, web, broadcasts, the lot really.


If, this arrest is like last years and there's a prohibition on reporting on the ongoing abuse trial, then it looks like something similar might have happened and that blanket ban was extended to this trial. Because there's been no reporting on any of the proceedings, just the arrest and the fact that he's in jail. Nothing inbetween.

Strange how no such restrictions applied to a recent high profile rape trial in the UK.

did that trial have children as victims and involve dozens of defendants spread over multiple trials?

He - debatably - broke the law by not adhering to his bail conditions to the letter. Was it wrong what he did? I don't think so. Just because something is against the law doesn't make it wrong.

well first off he wasnt on bail. He was on a suspended sentence. Secondly he was jailed for contempt of court, his suspended sentence was not activated. Hence why he got 13 months instead of the 3 months suspended that was hanging over him. And there is no debate that he broke the law. What he knowingly did possibly put months of court time in jeopardy. Though i would expect nothing else from a far right thicko.

Somebody on twitter suggested a Live Aid type single to support Tommy and some lyrics were put together
