If he had just obeyed our nightmarish Orwellian laws he would have been fine!

I'm fine with living in a society where I can get snatched and hastily sentenced to prison.

Just because something is the law doesn't make it right.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I know little about the law but "breaching the peace" appears to be one of those charges that allows an officer to arrest you if he/she can't find anything else to arrest you on.

I'm not into conspiracy theories, but thanks for the explanation.

I find it hard to believe that a judge (of whatever title) can just hand out contempt of court sentences of longer than a short period (the reported 13 months is hardly a short period) without due process.

But it isn't part of a conspiracy.
Maybe not on the judiciary's side.
The police are another matter.

Robinson seems to get a lot of police attention:

It isn't hard to imagine that they were looking for any excuse to arrest him (whether warranted or not) because they knew he had a suspended sentence hanging over his head.
He, of course, was stupid enough to give them the opportunity.
