Tommy Robinson latest: UKIP Peer Malcolm Lord Pearson has written to Home Secretary Sajid Javid today saying : if Tommy is murdered or injured in prison he and others will mount a private prosecution against Mr Javid as an accessory, or for misconduct in public office. pic.twitter.com/UMkXqBVLoR— Gerard Batten MEP (@GerardBattenMEP) May 27, 2018
The arrest and imprisonment of Tommy Robinson has caused mass outrage on social media. A petition with over 300,000 signatures (at time of writing) shows the fury of the public.
Officials have attempted to block press coverage of the story and this is only adding fuel to the fire.
I am trying to recall a legal case where someone was convicted of a ‘crime’ which cannot be reported on. Where he can be cast into prison without it being possible to report his name, offence, or place of imprisonment for fear of contempt of court. Can anyone remember such a case— Gerard Batten MEP (@GerardBattenMEP) May 26, 2018
This story has even reached the White House with a retweet by Donald J Trump Jr
Reason #1776 for the original #brexit. Don’t let America follow in those footsteps. https://t.co/6QLejT61i4— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) May 27, 2018
This may end up being a real problem for the Home office.
