Unnamed person arrested and sent straight to jail under media blackout

Tommy Robinson - that’s the chap we’re talking about, since it actually isn’t under a media blackout.

There might be. There is a ban on reporting certain aspects until a specific trial is over. Breaching that ban would be contempt of court. Probably best not to publicly speculate until next week...

Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, AKA Tommy Robinson.
Indeed, and the only person claiming he is a reporter his him. It's the excuse he uses to go and stir up tulip. "reporting on the situation".
He was arrested for breeching the conditions of a suspended sentence he got for contempt of court last year which involved his attempting to film court proceedings during a trial. He's done exactly the same thing again by live-streaming himself going into the court to "report"on a trial. So the terms of his suspended sentence mean he's been jailed for the original term and will probably be facing trial for this offence as well.
hmm surprised the lefty politicians don't love him
He co-founded the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009 and has been arrested numerous times during demonstrations and at fights between football fans, as well as being jailed for mortgage fraud in 2014.
isn't that the kind of thing they like? Or are they worried about the competition?
Is it strange that when I hear "far right" I expect to see skinheads, much like when I hear " far left protest march" I expect to see swampy dreads?
Still a nasty piece of work, sounds like he will be glad to get back to prison.
Not sure what the difference is between this and the BBC sending a helicopter to Sir Cliff's apartment or the daily "perp walk" of various celebs during the operation Yewtree prosecutions?
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
