Contempt is the New Tax Evasion :: SteynOnline
"I've just come off of two days holed up in London's Old Bailey.
The famous court was once a beacon of justice, though you wouldn't know it from what happened there to Tommy Robinson.
...The finding of guilt was a fitting end to what was always a politically motivated show trial. 

Last week's hearing was ordered by Theresa May's attorney general after Robinson's previous conviction, for which he served 10 weeks of a 13 month prison sentence, was unanimously overturned by an appeals court.
Robinson had been arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced and jailed within a matter of five hours. 

I'm not even sure North Korea is so efficient. 

It just goes to show how the establishment is far more concerned with what you think than what you do.
The sex grooming gangsters Robinson filmed had been operating in Huddersfield with relative impunity for years, as countless others have in Rotherham, Rochdale, Bradford, and as many as 70 more English communities.
These cases were not simply flying under the radar of the state and the mainstream media, but operating in plain view, being met with politically correct silence and wilful ignorance.
Robinson threatened the establishment's indifference, and has been its enemy ever since.
In doing so, he's proven that if they want to get you, they'll get you on something. 

...All the official voices you'd hope would pipe up in his defence have been silent. 

The 10 weeks he served in prison were predominantly in solitary, with him unable to eat because of threats he was getting from Muslim inmates working in the kitchen.
A Somali warlord who served a day of Robinson's sentence would have had Amnesty International beating down the door of 10 Downing St.
He believed the wrong things and angered the wrong people. 

In 2019 Britain, that's apparently a crime."
