Tommy Robinson gave a speech about not having freedom of speech and the burns kept coming – the 15 funniest takedowns

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, appeared at the Old Bailey this morning as part of the proceedings relating to a charge of contempt of court. The case has been referred to the Attorney General due to some complex points of law. This didn’t stop Yaxley-Lennon addressing a huge crowd of supporters for an hour, from a stage erected outside the court for that purpose.

The irony of his speech containing references to not having freedom of speech did not escape many people. That and some other issues feature in these 15 brilliant burns.

Oh dear, #TommyRobinson is trending. The beer-bellied brownshirts are gathering outside the Old Bailey in a cloud of ale fumes and Lynx to protest the law being applied to the Grima Wormtongue of the hooligan right. "I’d rather go to jail for the next 25 years" he says. Okay.

Just had the joy of walking past the Tommy Robinson supporters at the Old Bailey. If you’re into angry, swearing white people who pay little attention to their physical appearance and drink strong continental lager at 10am, get yourself down there. You’ll dine like a king. pic.twitter.com/PLHbfsSoaq
