As any fellow britbongs here may know, Tommy Robinson, an outspoken member of the far right has been tried and inprisoned for 13 months following a lengthy livestream of him criticising Islam and its followers.
Does Zig Forums have an opinion on this? The right is having a shitfit about it.

He was doing it right outside a courthouse while a trial was going on inside, under UK law that counts as contempt of court so he was arrested. Just to clarify in case anyone thought he was being arrested just for talking shit about islam. He's currently on a suspended sentence for doing the exact same thing a few months ago so he's almost definitely going to prison for this.
That was the trial of Count Dankula, right?
Speaking of which, what are this board's thoughts on him?
He already has a record anyhow for fraud & inciting plus the countless other things he's gotten away with considering he was always a fascist thug he's just gotten better at hiding it with age.
It's fucking weird seeing yanks having sympathy for him. Especially when he got kicked in by antifascists. I mean the guy was EDL not some classical liberal, you play the game, you get fucked.
Basically what he was doing was saying mudslimes are rapists outside a court room, and was arrested for breeching the peace. The reason he got time is because he is on probation. Now why did he go down? MORTGAGE FRAUD, yes he lied on a mortgage application: he is a real second coming of John McLean.
For some context, Tommy Robinson was the former leader of the EDL who after meeting with a major muslim community leader supposedly renounced antiislamism, until a few years back when presumably he ran out of money.
No, as for Count Dankula he is an edgy shit but he didn't deserve a fine. David Baddiel did a really good piece on it.
wait what John McLean you referring to?
WWI Scottish Communist teacher turned activist who went to prison for organising anti draft action and strikes. He was a british repp to the comtintern and knew both Liebknecht and Lenin.
Ah thought so, I just misread the context
Don't care too much. Just think it's kinda weird how censorious the Brits are being lately. Feels like a lack of self-awareness.
