Let me fix that for you: "where suspected child grooming gangs were facing trial" - innocent until proven guilty.
> In 2018 Tommy Robinson was imprisoned in solitary for over a month
This isn't true and is sensationalising the facts. Tommy Robinson's imprisonment had been recorded as a criminal rather than a civil offence which affects contact with the outside world (as it does with all criminal offenders incarcerated in the UK).
"The failings also meant Robinson was recorded as a criminal, rather than civil, prisoner and deprived of visits, free communications and other freedoms he should have been allowed."[0]
Also Robinson, due to his notoriety, was not jailed with the general population for his own safety:
"The appeal was launched outside the 28-day time limit for challenging convictions, but was allowed after judges heard that legal meetings were delayed by Robinson being held in “effective solitary confinement” for his own safety."[0]
It would seem that even convicted and jailed criminals aren't huge fans of Robinson's racist activities.
> That led to massive protests and marches
Only by the far right (BNP and EDL) who are still very much a minority in the UK.
