Free Tommy Robinson!

You guys really need to get more genre savvy about who you identify with and the causes you advocate, because charging Robinson is a PROTECTION OF THE CITIZEN FROM THE POWER OF THE STATE. They were in court, being tried, with the press covering the event, all that was being 'concealed' was the result until after other legal proceedings ended in order to ensure the individuals in other linked cases didn't have their trials influenced by the result.

Part of British justice are postponement orders, where for linked trials where there are networks of defendants there are several trials. In order to avoid jurors having their deliberations contaminated by what they might or might not read from other trials, reporting on all of them is postponed until the end. This is in order to PROTECT citizens from the state being able to get them wrongly convicted by lumping together prosecutions.

Ignorance and stupidity abound on the internet, where this is interpreted as something other than a criminal racist deliberately fucking up a trial for YouTube views.

Contempt of court exists to protect citizens who are vulnerable and ensure they have a fair trial. Robinson ignored the law and clear legal warnings to prejudice an ongoing trial with the intention of ensuring rapists went free so he could make some money from a YouTube video.

Further, to provide a little context on Tommy Robinson, he isn't a fluffy libertarian. He is a nativist career criminal who was the leader of a neo-Nazi group and who is now trying to portray himself as something he isn't.
