Tommy is a political prisoner. The establishment wants to get rid of Tommy. The Judge says she wants to send Tommy to prison immediately — as in, this afternoon.
In sum: Tommy will be sentenced to prison for 19 weeks, and will be released half-way. So that’s 9.5 weeks in prison. More than two months in prison. For journalism.

Dame Victoria says she wants to make an example out of Tommy. (That’s what the Attorney General said — he asked the court to punish citizen journalists.)
Dame Sharp says there is no sentencing guideline.
Therefore: no suspended sentence.
Therefore the total penalty — new contempt, plus old contempt: 9 months.
Now they’re ordering Tommy to pay costs, but they will give his lawyer 28 days to give them submissions about costs. They’re literally making him pay for his own conviction.
Tommy is going to prison. The first journalist since the 1940s to go to prison for contempt of court.

Welcome to the UK in 2019. Americans, if you’re listening: protect your First Amendment at all costs.
Update:
A final indignity: the prosecution asks that Tommy Robinson have to pay for his own trial. £25,000. Those rapists who were convicted up in Leeds didn’t have to pay for their own trial. Tommy will pay for his.

Robert Spencer:
Tommy Robinson is heading back to jail, with a sentence that could be a death sentence at the hands of Muslim inmates who threatened and menaced him when he was in prison before, for doing what reporters routinely do outside criminal trials. The British government is clearly making an example of him in order to try to deter more Britons from protesting against its policies of mass Muslim immigration and its covering up of crimes perpetrated by Muslims in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings. This conviction and sentencing shows not Tommy Robinson’s contempt of court, but the contempt of the British government for its own citizens, and particularly for the victims of Muslim rape gangs.
