Tommy Robinson jailed for 13 months after admitting contempt of court.
So now that he has admitted he broke the law will his supporters finally accept it?

The right wing / libertarian crowd is going to jump on this, without bothering to do any fact checking.
The guy, known as Tommy Robinson -- he used to be Stephen Chritopher Yaxley-Lennon, Andrew McMaster and Paul Harris, has not been jailed for this single violation of the law.
He has done it on multiple occasions. The law in the UK is different form the US, and certain things are not allowed, if they threaten to prejudice the outcome of a trial.
He's a multiple repeat offender and is not a newbie to jail. He served one year out of a longer sentence, for drunken assault on an off duty police officer.
He is a school dropout, who went back to vocational school and is blaming his failed miserable life on immigrants, as opposed to the way he chose to live his life.
He's the face of British extremism.
I am all for free speech, but the law in this case, applies to everyone and this is hardly about free speech.
