Tommy Robinson, the court case and (guffaw) 'free speech'

[klang]

Now, I guess, the "fun" starts - how's his mob going to take it?

-time served, which is almost half of it already.

If six months is 'the least appropriate penalty' why didn't she give him more?

Penalty reduced by 138 days to reflect time already served.

Oh. So he gets to walk out of court?

That could make things even more interesting - he's going to interpret that as licence to gloat and offend...

last comment. off to laundrete to celebrate:

Robinson stands up in court. "You will be committed in prison for a period of 19 weeks". Will serve up to one half of that period.

surprisingly light

surprisingly light

Perhaps she's handing him a shovel. It's pretty obvious he's just going to go and do the same thing again, given half a chance.

It took ages to ripple through the crowd at court. Lots of fingers adding up and people asking each other

Hang on - this was meant to be a "civil war kicking off" - not a "mutter and go home".

Is there a live feed of what's happening outside court?

[Kaka Tim]

not much of civil war. not a musket in sight.

That's a soft sentence. Hoping not to anger the mob too much. They'll be angry but not as angry as if he'd gotten 2 years.
The mob have actually scored a victory there

I'm doubly amazed as the man appearing for sentencing of contempt wears t-shirt displaying contempt of the decision to find guilty of contempt.

Shit re-enactment of beer hall putsch in Smithfield this lunchtime I think

he wasn't displaying the message in court, either changed or turned t-shirt inside out
