Tommy Robinson appeared in court and the internet lost its mind – 15 scathing reactions

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a.k.a. Tommy Robinson, appeared in court today for a short hearing regarding charges of contempt of court. A large crowd of his supporters appeared outside, waving flags – including the UKIP banner – and many gave Nazi salutes. He must be so proud. Online, his biggest fan, other than himself – Katie Hopkins – was trying to whip up more support for his cause, but these people were unimpressed by her rhetoric.

If Tommy Robinson is sent back to prison, I think they should get Meghan to close the door.

I see Tommy Robinson's supporters are hailing their hero for bringing attention to grooming gangs which the police and media completely ignored, apart from arresting them, putting them on trial and reporting them in the media. #TommyRobinson

I wonder how the Tommy Robinson supporters got to the old Bailey?
It must have been dodgy traveling through all those no go zones.
