Can't understand why Tommy Robinson's fans are so upset about going to prison. Aren't these the same guys who tell us that UK jails are like holiday camps with spas and saunas and cordon bleu cooking.

Tommy Robinson broke the law and has been sentenced to nine months. Justice has been served. He's not a 'martyr', he's not a political prisoner for fuck's sake. He's a pretentious knob who let his gigantic ego get in the way of common sense.
