TOMMY ROBINSON BREAKING: HIGH COURT HEARS APPEAL, RULING BY END OF MONTH
Three judges of the UK's High Court heard the appeal of Tommy Robinson's lawyers (four of them) in London today. They said they will rule by the end of the month.
A delegate of the Attorney General's office provided input to the court against Tommy Robinson.
Tommy Robinson himself was linked via video from his prison to the hearing.
The judges heard arguments against Robinson's recent conviction as well as a suspended sentence conviction from last year at another British courthouse used to justify his recent sentence.

Robinson was arrested in Leeds, England May 25th and sent to jail within hours for contempt of court with a 13 month sentence. He was livestreaming a video outside of a child sex abuse trial involving Muslim defendants.
There have been a rash of such cases reported in the UK with authorities accused of trying to hide the cases from the public, limit punishment in cases discovered and even ignoring situations involving sex abuse of children by Muslim gangs for "cultural" reasons.
Supporters of Robinson were on hand including Ezra Levant of Rebel Media in Canada and Gerard Batten, leader of UKIP. Batten was set to be interviewed tonight on BBC's "Newsnight" planning a double hit piece on Robinson and UKIP, now rising in the polls amidst the Brexit controversy.
Protesters were outside the court building for many hours today.
The original date for today's appeal was July 10th, then July 24th because government lawyers said they weren't ready, then it got moved back to today with a three judge panel instead of one as originally planned.
