Have you read Robinson has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court   Hope he's not jailed in the ' muslim wing' at whichever prison he goes to.

In many ways he seems to be his own worst enemy. Still at least he'll be in the warm on the tax payers coin. Unlike us pensioners.

This is gagging of free speech as they do in totalitarian states .

Unless of course you are a pro palestinian then you can spout any hate and bilge you like .

But they can't jail all his supporters & he can still have his say from prison.

Also there are other people who got jail sentences of 3 years for posting anti-illegal immigration comments.

All it takes is a corrupt Judiciary with corrupt Judges, as was shown during the Brexit Court hearings.

While we're at it, here's is the summary of the case by the presiding judge at the time.  Am about a quarter of the way through it.  Could do with Cass scanning it and putting into English of the type that I can understand.  Think "Angela Rayner" and that's about the level it needs translating down to😳😬😬

I've seen that before. I'm disgusted with this conviction, along with other such things done by possibly-corrupt judges.

I have signed the petition supporting Tommy Robinson.

I've downloaded it for later consumption.

On the judgement what does ChatGPT or CoPilot make of it? I can't make any sense of it but having no link to it didn't help  :wink:

Good grief! Are you people real?

I'm assuming...



Here is a translation (maybe)

Here's a breakdown of the main points:
  • Background: Yaxley-Lennon was previously found to have defamed Hijazi, and an injunction was placed to prevent further dissemination of defamatory statements. Despite this, Yaxley-Lennon continued to breach the injunction by publicly repeating the allegations through various media, including social media and public gatherings.
  • Contempt Applications: The Solicitor General filed two contempt applications against Yaxley-Lennon, alleging that he breached the injunction on 10 separate occasions. Yaxley-Lennon admitted to these breaches, though his admission came only during the hearing.
  • Breach Severity and Harm: Justice Johnson found that Yaxley-Lennon's breaches were intentional, persistent, and aimed at maximizing exposure, which showed a high degree of culpability. The breaches were not only damaging to Hijazi's reputation but also undermined the administration of justice by promoting the idea that court orders could be disregarded.
  • Aggravating Factors: Yaxley-Lennon's history of contempt findings in other cases, including previous breaches of court orders, worsened the severity of his actions. Some of his breaches occurred even after the first contempt application had been filed, indicating continued disregard for the law.
  • Mitigating Factors: The court considered Yaxley-Lennon's mental health, the potential for adverse prison conditions due to his public notoriety, and his compliance with the injunction for about 18 months prior to the breaches. However, he showed no remorse, and the court noted his apparent belief that he was justified in ignoring the injunction.
  • Sanction: Justice Johnson ruled that a custodial sentence was appropriate, imposing an 18-month prison term, reduced slightly to account for time already served and his admission. The sentence was divided into a punitive element (14 months) and a coercive element (4 months) to encourage compliance with the injunction.
  • Costs and Right to Appeal: Yaxley-Lennon was ordered to pay the legal costs incurred by the Solicitor General, subject to further assessment if not agreed upon. He retains the right to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal.
This judgment emphasizes that court orders must be respected regardless of personal convictions, aiming to uphold the rule of law and discourage future breaches by both Yaxley-Lennon and others.

The problem is that the case hinges on the original libel ruling being correct & I although I read a lot about the case at the time, I won't elaborate any further.

The thing I'm reading is that of the original case.
