Un-free speech: Tommy Robinson arrested for talking into his phone outside court hearing for Leeds grooming gangs

EDL leader-turned independent journalist Tommy Robinson has been arrested in Leeds after confronting defendants outside a courthouse as they entered to face trial over sexual abuse allegations.

Robinson and his team were producing a live video for social media as several of 29 defendants accused of child sex abuse and neglect entered the courthouse.

In a video posted to social media, Robinson - a self-modeled defender of free speech - can be seen arrested by a team of police officers. He is put in the back of a police van, with officers telling him that he was being arrested for "incitement" and"breach of the peace."

RT spoke to Robinson's producer, Caolan Robertson, about the confrontation outside of Leeds Crown Court and Robinson's subsequent arrest.

"Their case has been going on for about a year," Robertson said. "Tommy had all the publicly available information... and on that live stream he repeated the information that was already public. We were very careful with language [as to not risk being held in contempt of court]."

Videos already shared to social media show Robinson walking near the alleged rapists, goading them for comment. The men reacted aggressively before police intervened.

Robinson, his producer, and another member of Robinson's media team were present at the courthouse. The trio have said that, aside from two onlookers, they were the only people present at the court.

"A big police van with about seven police officers pulled up and arrested [Robinson] and told him to stop live streaming," Robinson's producer said. "They said it was incitement and a breach of the peace.

"No peace has been breached - there were two other people there and he's been perfectly quiet talking into his phone. [The police] said nothing about the court proceedings. It's very strange."

The case in question has previously seen enraged picketing outside the courthouse, with protesters seen in April hurling and screaming abuse at defendants as they arrived at court. The case has seen 29 people charged in an inquiry into child sex abuse and neglect in Huddersfield.

The alleged offences took place in the town between 2004 and 2011 and involved girls aged between 11 and 17. Twenty-seven men have been accused of offences against 18 people, including rape and trafficking. Two women are charged with child neglect. In total, the 29 defendants face a total of more than 170 charges.

Robinson's team told RT that they will now head to the police station, where they will try to find out more information about why Robinson was arrested. RT UK reached out to West Yorkshire Police for comment, but the force declined. A spokesman said that they could not comment as they "don't identify arrested people."

Robinson has previously been arrested for contempt of court after filming outside Canterbury Crown Court in May, for"incitement" after a protest in 2013, and was jailed for 18 months for mortgage fraud in 2014.

Latest reports indicate that Robinson has just been released from custody.

tompaul yes what a "hero" for easily manipulated brain dead fools..

Why Tommy Robinson Is an Idiot In the Wrong [Link]
. The so called heroic act of Tommy Robinson has put the entire trial at risk of collapsing and the bastards walking free, laughing up their sleeves . Far from some heroic, brave act, persecuted by police, this is stupidity in the extreme... If Robinson does not possess one lonely brain cell, to do what any other nationalist would do, i.e. when deciding to film the defendants arriving at court, first approach the court office to check whether the verdict was due Friday, or whether it was still ongoing, which would then make his live streaming a criminal offence, then don’t go sobbing that it’s all so unfair.

Reporting restrictions, especially live streaming in an ongoing trial, are not there for nothing. If some amateur with a camera films defendants arriving at court in an ongoing case, streams their faces live on social media before the day’s proceedings have even started, and then adds his own perception that they are all guilty before a verdict has been reached, along with his own opinions, this can sway public opinion, along with that of the jurors, should they see it. That means, even if it has no effect on the decision of the Jury, those on trial can call a mistrial based on the claim that the premature footage did, can, or will, bias the Jury. In other words, Tommy Robinson put the trial in danger of the defendants being able to claim a mistrial due to public opinion having been swayed, and get off scot free, even if they were as guilty as hell.

For those girls and their families who have had their lives destroyed by these ~~Muslim~~ Pakistani rape gangs, all they had left in the hope of closure was at least having the peace of mind that their rapists would see justice. The actions of Robinson, who didn’t have the brains just to check that Friday was the day the verdict was due, or whether the trial was still ongoing, could also have resulted in immeasurable hours of police manpower bringing this investigation to court being flushed down the toilet . If Robinson is so stupid that he hadn’t the nous just to check with the court and ask just one simple question, if it was the last day of the trial or whether it was ongoing, because he wants to look the hard man on social media, then his stupidity means that far from being the nationalist and champion of the victims of ~~Muslim~~ Pakistani / Indian / Bengali rape gangs that he portrays himself as, he is in fact bringing the entire nationalist movement into disrepute and damaging police investigations and closure for those little girls.

Not only did Robinson not bother to check with the court, his stupidity held no bounds in the fact that he was on a suspended prison sentence for doing the exact same thing, for committing contempt of court over a gang rape case heard in Canterbury last year. That was another trial he put in danger of collapsing and the rapists walking free. After he was handed down that suspended sentence, and his lawyer explaining to him the law regarding filming before verdicts are reached, he believed he was so bomb-proof that he could do it again. In each of those trials, he handed the defence the golden egg from the golden goose, for the guilty to claim a mistrial based on not getting a fair hearing.

In short, once legal proceedings become “active”, it is a criminal offence for media organisations to broadcast material which would create “a substantial risk of serious prejudice” to the proceedings. Criminal proceedings become “active” as soon as one of the following has occurred: a person is arrested, a warrant for arrest is issued, a summons has been issued, or a person has been charged, and they remain so until such time as the accused has been acquitted or convicted. Furthermore, liability for statutory contempt is ‘strict’, which means that the broadcaster’s and programme-maker’s knowledge or intention is irrelevant, as is the fact that no actual prejudice was caused in a particular case – the risk of prejudice is sufficient. If contempt is committed intentionally, however, it would be punished even more severely. Common law contempt consists of any other action which is intended to interfere with the administration of justice, for example a sustained campaign by the media to influence legal proceedings. Proceedings need not be active.

Sympathy for Robinson? He has now put two trials at risk of collapse, and destroyed the victims’ only hope of justice and closure. For what? If some clown cannot make a simple phone call to the Court, as a ‘journalist’, as he calls himself, to check that Friday was the last day of proceedings, or if it was still ongoing, to ensure he was not breaking the law in any shape or form, especially given he had already been convicted for the exact same thing and was on a suspended prison sentence that would immediately put him straight back in prison, then save your tears and save your outpouring, because we don’t want to hear it. [...]

The verdict was not in when he was live streaming. He breached his suspended prison sentence. In the film, he posted on the internet, as the defendants left the court, he shouted ‘ how do you feel about the verdict’? They turn and say ‘ what verdict’.? That’s because the verdict had not been given and the trial was still ongoing. Leeds Crown Court published a statement that the trial was still in progress and ongoing,

Tommy Robinson Court Case Lie EXPOSED [ Link ]

Tommy Robinson admitting on camera, that there were reporting restrictions on the court case he was trying to "expose" moments before he was arrested on the 25th May 2018.

Tommy Robinson knew he would get arrested for invading a trial. He was deliberately warned about it last year by a judge. Here is that judgement and proof.

As you will read, the Judge went into detail about how his actions, came very close to collapsing that trial. Robinson was warned in February, as the judge states here. He was told he would go to prison, if he did the same, as he did at Canterbury. [ Link ]

Is your hero genuinely on a crusade against paedophiles, rapists and evil in any form? or is your hero in bed with well known soulless psychopathic paedophiles, gang rapists, human sex slave traffickers and traders, snuff porn creators and peddlers, cannibal organ eaters and harvesters, genocidal supremacist mass murdering torturing terrorists, usurious con artists and thieves, pathological liars, genocidal hate and war mongers that keep the world in constant state of war and misery through usury? is your so called hero not a lying zionist jew operative working for the British-Israeli State misleading the kosher controlled opposition and easily manipulated sheep into oblivion?

One thing Jews very often do when they change their name (as some do quite often, like criminals on the run), is to do that with a certain bit of chutzpah, still adhering to the customary Jewish code of maintaining a subtly Jewish ID nonetheless to indicate to the rest of the Tribal infiltrators that they are still in with the Tribal program, so Robinson, a name very often used by Jews, has been preceded by Lennon, another typically Jewish name, by Harris, another name very often used by Jews. Mcmaster is another typically Jewish name, in that Master is a term used for God in the Bible and Hebrew scriptures, and Jews, usurping God, like to call themselves names like that, and as Jews were thrown out of England, they went into Ireland and Scotland, and from there you get the names like MacMaster, and McMaster (Mac and Mc being Irish and Scottish variants of the prefix meaning ‘son of’, that prefix then having been added to names used by Jews).

Mac is proto-Celtic in origin, being found in Irish and Scottish Gaelic speaking cultures, also in Breton, Welsh, Cornish, Gaulish and Manx cultures, as well as in Greek [makros] and Latin [macer].[Link]
So Robinson has subtly been indicating to the Tribe all along that he is their man, leaving a little trail of Jewish names all along.
