Today the Court of Appeal delivered a crushing blow to Tommy Robinson and his supporters, upholding his 18-month sentence for contempt of court.
The decision, which dismissed claims that his harsh segregation at HMP Woodhill is causing severe mental distress, has left all of us outraged, we view this as yet another example of the UK’s two-tier justice system targeting a man for speaking truth.
Compounding the frustration, allegations that prison governor Nicola Marfleet misled the court about Tommy’s prison conditions and so-called “privileges” have fuelled accusations of systemic bias and institutional cruelty.
Tommy was jailed in October 2024 for breaching a High Court injunction by exposing lies about a Syrian refugee, another round of lawfare that we argue was a pretext to silence his activism against grooming gangs and his unapologetic fact based journalism.
At HMP Woodhill, a high-security prison with a significant Muslim population, Tommy has been kept in solitary confinement “for his safety” due to credible death threats, including a reported plot by a “lifer” to kill him.
Tommy’s legal team argued that this isolation is destroying his mental health, but the court callously claimed there was “no reasonable basis” to reduce his sentence.
We see this as a refusal to acknowledge the prison’s failure to protect him, forcing Tommy into inhumane conditions for daring to speak out. Worse still, Nicola Marfleet, Woodhill’s governor, is accused of painting a false picture of Tommy’s treatment to the court.
She claimed he enjoys lavish privileges like three hours daily for exercise, additional work time, four hours of phone access, and comfortable visits. Yet, evidence from Tommy’s team, including an incident where his call with his solicitor was abruptly cut off, suggests these “privileges” are a fiction.
Supporters, including voices on X like Kathy Gyngell (Conservative woman), have slammed Marfleet for what they call sadistic misrepresentation, arguing she’s covering up Woodhill’s dangerous environment, where Islamic gangs reportedly hold sway.
This deception only deepens the sense that Tommy is being punished not just by the courts but by a complicit prison system, not because of what he has done, but because of who he is.
For us, this ruling is a stark injustice, proof that the establishment is weaponising the law to crush dissent. They argue the court ignored the real issue: a prison system so broken it can’t protect Tommy without locking him in solitary, and a governor willing to misrepresent facts to keep him there.
As Tommy endures segregation until his expected release in July 2025, we will remain steadfast, we will rally for a man betrayed by a system that prioritises political correctness over fairness.
The fight for Tommy Robinson is a fight for freedom of speech, and of truth.
No court should hold sway over either, but here in Britain, they do.
