But now Robinsons made it all about him instead of the crime.

I missed the link out from the long post above.
I said I didn't like the way Robinson takes every opportunity to insult most muslims even moderate ones based on every percieved line of their text.
In the clip he's told how Aisha wasn't six but 21. The Imam stated that it was more important in the Islamic world that she should appear a virgin so the age of 6 was kind of agreed between scholars, to which TR started laughing about her having been around the block.
Totally disrespectful given that it was also an insult to the moderate bloke sat in front of him who ticks all the right boxes for a moderate peaceful religious man.

There are a few somewhat technical problems with that on the face of it Warm. I'm sure the process was correct and that there are reasons for the apparent oddities, but my point is that it should all be a matter of public record at the stage when he has apparently already been sentenced.
" reporting restrictions" don't apply after a trial has finished.
More than anything else, I dislike the implication that we can trust the courts or anyone else to operate secretly in such matters.
The trial hasn’t “finished” until after sentencing as far as I’m aware?
EDIT: sorry I misunderstood what you meant, he was already on a suspended sentence for the same thing so straight to jail isn’t it?

Well no you see. I didn't want to start getting too technical in a general discussion, but since you ask , if it's a question of a suspended sentence then he has to be CONVICTED: of the second offence AND the prosecution has to convince the court that it's a "like offence " ie. He can't be sent to prison if he's got a suspended sentence for say, shoplifting but this one is for something not related to similar behaviour, say a public order or driving offence.
There's probably no time for all that to have happened.
If he's on licence from prison for an offence then he merely needs to be CHARGED with ANY offence.
Problem with this is that there are different sorts of breach of the Peace. In the most common people are not usually CHARGED but merely "brought before the court to show good cause why they should not be bound over ", which is a common law matter not a charge of a conviction, you see ?
Similarly, contempt of court is not a charge as such either. Again it's just being brought before a Judge who has powers to commit to prison for the contempt, but it's not technically a conviction or a statute crime .
There are other obscure possibilities, such as there being in existence some Order of the court or undertaking on his part regarding his conduct in or near the building, and this might conceivably be punished by commital to prison, but again it can't be joined to an existing suspended sentence or the basis for such a suspended sentence to be enforced.
Now, this is all general stuff and it is possible to argue for and against the correctness of particular orders in particular ( often disputed ) circumstances. This is what litigation is .
I fully expect that the Judge acted perfectly correctly in accordance with whatever evidence and argument was placed before him, but we should know what it was. It is normal that the Judge would give the reasons for his decisions on such matters during his Judgement, and I expect he did on this occasion, but it's not being reported for some reason.
Well, that's alright because it will all be sorted out in the end, no doubt, but I really don't like this hue and cry mob mentality which seems to want to ignore the facts of the particular case because they happen to disagree politically with the accused.
In exactly the same way as those accused in the trial during which we gather he might have disturbed due process are entitled to be tried on the FACTS and evidence rather than the uninformed opinions and prejudices of the general public, so is he, and so is everyone.
I can sum this up with a nice old cliche, that justice needs not only to be done, but to be SEEN to be done.

Where have you got that all from? It’s at odds with what the Setencing Council say. To put it simply - If you don’t comply with the conditions set out by the court or get another conviction you’re likely to serve the sentence that was suspended.

He can't have not known that what he was doing was illegal . It throws up the possibility this was what he wanted, as it will make him a martyr for some people.
Zambo wrote:I think we are getting away from the point. Robinson, racist, bigot, Islamophobe etc. Most of his supporters are extreme right wing scum in the EDL. Let's get that out there, so there is no misunderstandings like before, when accusations were flying about supporting racists.
The support is for his right to free speech, and to be highlighting Muslim racist shit. If he winds up a few whilst going into court so what, there was hardly anyone else about. This country goes with not guilty until found guilty in a court of law. If he is found guilty of breaching the peace and on a suspended sentence, then he should feel the full force of the law, but until that happens there should be no sentence given.
If members of the EDL were in court facing charges of beating Muslims up, and Russell Brand stood outside the court with his phone filming them as they went in and calling them cunts, all the lefties would have been out singing his praises. In fact Facebook would have been taken down due to traffic overload.
There is nothing wrong with showing these people up for what they are.
