The case is so complex? Not if you follow the facts and are independent and clear-minded in thinking…
Tommy Robinson: Contempt case referred to Attorney General
Mr. Robinson appeared at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, facing an allegation that he had committed contempt by filming people before a criminal trial.
But within minutes Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC ruled it needed to be referred up for further consideration.
The 35-year-old appeared under his real name, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
Hundreds of supporters and opponents were outside for the hearing.
Why was he in court?
In May 2017, Mr Yaxley-Lennon filmed four men outside a court, who were later convicted of gang-raping a teenage girl.
The trial was subject to reporting restrictions, and a judge at Canterbury Crown Court gave him a three-month suspended sentence for contempt of court.
In May 2018, he was jailed for potentially prejudicing a court case after broadcasting on social media outside Leeds Crown Court.
He was sentenced to 13 months – 10 months for the contempt of court in Leeds and a further three months for breaching the previous suspended sentence.
Was there today, thousands of us!
I’m waiting for the video I shot of Tommy’s speech to upload to youtube, had to convert it from 4K UHD to an MP4 format so I don’t know how the picture quality will be yet.
I was about 2 3rds of the way back from the stage so I had to hold my camera on a 6 foot high tripod to shoot over the crowd, sorry for the poor camera work.
Will drop a link to it here when it finally uploads and youtube does it’s thing.

Well can I just start by saying that I am so MoFo pissed off at YouTube for making my video look like it was filmed on a spud!
2nd, sorry about the piss poor camera work but you try holding a six foot tripod with cam on top in a crowd.
For what it’s worth here it is, I roll the dice and let you judge the man, Tommy, as you will…..
