British EDL founder Tommy Robinson faces jail time after High Court judges determined him in contempt of court, linked to his filming of criminal defendants outside of a courthouse and broadcasting the footage online.



Lawyers representing Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, who requested to have Robinson jailed over the broadcasts, argued the activist’s “whole objective” was to “get the defendants’ faces out there.”


Robinson denies any wrongdoing and maintains he was only sharing information already in the public domain.
