Best of 2019, Tommy Robinson edition: 66 days in prison for journalism
On this week's Christmas Day episode of The Ezra Levant Show, we looked back at our 2019 Tommy Robinson coverage. These clips are the highlights from Tommy's 66-day prison sentence for journalism.
Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been sentenced to nine months in prison for contempt of court.
The former English Defence League leader, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was convicted over a video he broadcast on social media which featured defendants in a criminal trial.Due to previous time served in jail before his appeal, his sentence will be 19 weeks. He is expected to be released on license after 10 weeks.
He arrived at the court wearing a t-shirt which read "Convicted of journalism" and spoke with protesters before heading inside. On the back, it read: "Britain = North Korea".
"Nothing less than a custodial penalty would properly reflect the gravity of the conduct we have identified.
"The respondent (Robinson) cannot be given credit for pleading guilty. He has lied about a number of matters and sought to portray himself as the victim of unfairness and oppression.
"This does not increase his sentence, but it does mean that there can be no reduction for an admission of guilt."
After the sentencing, Yaxley-Lennon's Telegram account read: "Sentenced to prison for journalism. Time for protests to start, this is an absolute joke!
"Protest outside whatever prison I'm in on Saturday please."
