>[On 29 May, the reporting restriction was lifted with regard to Robinson, following a challenge by journalists, and the media reported that Robinson had admitted contempt of court by publishing information that could prejudice an ongoing trial, and had been sentenced to 13 months' imprisonment.[8]
Marson sentenced Robinson to ten months for contempt of court and his previous three months' suspended sentence was activated because of the breach. Robinson's lawyer said that Robinson felt "deep regret" after comprehending the potential consequences of his behaviour.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson_(activist))
It's BS imo. You can't report on a case because it might create a bias? That's the gag order on the case which is really a limit of freedom of speech. UK doesn't have a right to it, but it's rather draconian to not allow it.

What difference does it make? Anyone with a pen and paper, or camera can be a journalist. Any individual should be free to speak their mind without penalties from their government.

Robinson isn't a journalist.
