Why Stephen Yaxley Lennon (Tommy Robinson) was arrested and jailed
A lot of rightist nut jobs are trying to say it was freedom of speech. It wasn't, it was contempt of court laws which Yaxley Lennon pleaded guilty to breaking.

I have not seen a single person make the argument that you are making about Tommy Robinson. I've heard many many times over, and even from Tommy's own mouth that it was due to the contempt of court charge.
However, I do see that an argument can be made that the contempt of court charge is an indirect violation of freedom of speech. So I will take that stand right now to characterize that strawman you are making. I am become strawman for you.
So, there, you have a person now making that claim. It was a violation of the freedom of speech.
