his afternoon he was found to have committed contempt of court by filming defendants in a criminal trial.

Dame Victoria Sharp, sitting at the Old Bailey with Mr Justice Warby, found him in contempt when he filmed defendants accused of the sexual exploitation of young girls and live-streaming the footage, in breach of a reporting ban, outside Leeds Crown Court in May 2018.

Robinson, wearing a blue jacket, blue shirt and jeans, showed little reaction as the judge announced the decision.

FUMING FANS

In the street outside court there was anger from Robinson supporters as the verdict filtered through.

The former EDL man addressed the crowd saying the verdict was wrong.

He repeated his claims the decision will have a negative impact on press freedom, and told fans: "I've been convicted 'cos of who I am, not what I've done."
