Paigntonian, //Naomi: Because he's a racist. That implies bias against other 'races'. They are, in his terms, people of Bangladeshi, Indian, African and Jewish origins. What's hard?/
What’s hard? Your ability to comprehend. Tommy Robinson criticises Islam – and Islam isn’t about colour. Islamists come in all hues.

From the CPS website,
"There has been a legal ruling that Sikhs can be included in the definition of a racial group (Mandla v Dowell-Lee [1983] 2 AC 548). In the Mandla case, reference is made to the judgment in King-Ansell v Police [1979] 2 NZLR 531 as being a persuasive authority for Jews being included in the definition of a racial group as well as a religious group. Although not criminal cases, further support for this proposition can be found in the cases of R v JFS[2009] UKSC 15 which related to the legality of the admission policy of a Jewish secondary school and Seide v Gillette Industries Ltd[1980] IRLR 427 in which an Employment Appeal Tribunal ruled that anti-Semitic comments made by a fellow-worker were made because he was a member of the Jewish race, not because of his religion."

There is an unlimited fine for contempt of Court.
I would prefer that he was fined a substantial amount and did not go to prison.
He has been to prison several times previously, and there is no indication that he reforms or stop repeat offending.
And a prison sentence is also used by Yaxley McLennon to generate publicity and fundraising from gullible rightwingers.
Let him go free but hit the silly sod in his pocket.

You are assuming he has money GRomit. Whats the betting his 'wealth' is neatly tied up well away from the grasping hands of the law.
Mr Robinson was bound to get some time inside. He wont care it's not the first time and rather stupidly the authorities will have made him even more of a Martyr to his followers.
Interesting to see the accusations of racist. Clearly some have not actually bothered to find out what TR is about, easier to just jump on the band wagon.

We are talking about Tommy Robinson here, different rules apply to him.
Arrested, tried and jailed within a few hours, how many journalist who have broken court rulings, have gone through that?

andy-hughes is the expert on the correct usage of the word racist, very strange that although he constantly tell me that I don't know the correct usage, he never enters the arena to put others right.

None of the figures mentioned make any sense.
We have nine months (36 weeks) to start with. Some say he has served two months (8 weeks). Some say he has served 138 days (twenty weeks near enough). 36 minus 8 is 28. 36 minus 20 is 16. Nowhere do I see how 19 weeks is calculated. However, if nineteen weeks is correct he will serve 33 days in custody, 33 days under "Home detention Curfew" and 67 days "on licence". He will also be "supervised by the probation service" for a further 298 days. So in that respect Mr Yaxley-Lennon is correct - the sentence (or at least the amount of it he will serve for jeopardising a lengthy Crown Court trial) is a joke.
