The other day, while reporting on a grooming gang case in the UK at Tommy Robinson was arrested,

and apparently he was sentenced to 13 months in prison. Shortly after his arrest, a judge

Tommy Robinson, to my understanding, got thrown in prison for a 13-month jail sentence after he

was arrested for a breach of the peace. He was apparently live streaming outside of Courthouse,

interviewing or perhaps in defendants. I don't even know what the actual facts of the matter are.
