UK far-right leader Tommy Robinson leaves London court and is cheered by supporters

CNN  

CNN — An allegation of contempt of court against the British anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has been sent to the country’s attorney general, the Press Association reported. “I’ve kissed my kids goodbye three times.” He said that he hoped “the attorney general will kick this into the long grass.” The crowd shouted “Oh Tommy Robinson,” as he protested his innocence. “This political witch-hunt must end now,” he said Robinson was freed from prison in August after three judges quashed a contempt of court finding made at Leeds Crown Court. Robinson’s cause has been taken up by prominent right-wing figures in the United States, including President Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon.
