Why should Robinson be freed?
There is absolutely no reason Robinson should be freed, he broke the law for which he pleaded guilty.
Idiots protesting or signing petitions because they only get their information from the fringe that plays them by withholding important details and feeds them BS.

Judge: If the jurors saw Robinson's video I would be asked to discharge them
The judge who jailed Tommy Robinson told him his Facebook Live could have collapsed a six-week trial if the jurors saw it.
Mr Justice Marson QC said that Robinson had failed in his 'responsibility to exercise freedom of speech within the law'.
Within five hours of his arrest Robinson was jailed for 13 months after pleading guilty to contempt in relation to an ongoing trial.
He also admitted breaching the terms of a suspended sentence he was handed in Canterbury last May for a similar offence.
Mr Justice Marson QC said: 'No one could possibly conclude that it would be anything other than highly prejudicial to the defendants in the trial. I respect everyone's right to free speech. That's one of the most important rights that we have.
'With those rights come responsibilities. The responsibility to exercise that freedom of speech within the law. I am not sure you appreciate the potential consequence of what you have done.
'If the jurors in my present trial get to know of this video I will no doubt be faced with an application to discharge the jury. If I have to do that it will mean a re-trial, costing hundreds and hundreds and thousands of pounds.'

13 months for saying publicly available information on the street.
A trial without your lawyer.
He was told one ground for arrest yet charged with another.
Its political bs
Compare this to a few weeks at most for assault.
The penalty is manifestly unjust. Tommy Robinson should have received a fine at worse. What this has done is shown Britain that secret trials for blasphemy are currently taking place. Britain is no longer a democracy.
