Tommy Robinson bailed after Court of Appeal win: "All the British media do is lie. I have a lot to say but nothing to you."


 Tommy Robinson released from prison

Former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson has been released on bail after winning an appeal against a contempt of court finding.

The 35-year-old admitted the charge and was jailed in May for filming outside Leeds Crown Court during a trial.

At the Court of Appeal, Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett ruled the case be reheard as there had been technical flaws by the judge who jailed him.

Robinson's solicitors said everyone has the "right to a fair hearing".

The far-right activist, from Luton, was not present for the ruling in London and was released from his 13-month sentence being served at Onley Prison, near Rugby just before 15:30 BST.

    The BBC always references the "far right" but never the communist/fascist/Nazi/progressive/liberal "far left". Left and right mean nothing. They need to reference "authoritarian" which is what is now called left and likes to micromanage your life and compare the anarchist to the current right which wants no government. Robinson is hardly an anarchist but the BBC and British government sure do appear to be authoritarians.
