Police at scene as 350 ‘free Tommy Robinson’ protesters gather outside Leeds Crown Court

From the Yorkshire Post

Protesters have gathered outside Leeds Crown Court this afternoon. Police are on site outside the court building, keeping tabs on a group of about 350 protesters outside the court building.

Members of the group have been spotted carrying a banner saying ‘Stand with Tommy. Free Tommy now’. One man was seen dressed as the Grim Reaper carrying a sign ‘free speech is dead speech’

Reports suggest protesters stopped in the middle of the road at the junction of the Headrow and Vicar Lane at about 3.35pm, causing traffic to be stopped.

The event was organised by the group Proud British,

During Friday’s demonstration, hoards of people were seen waving flags bearing the St George’s Cross and handmade placards voicing support for Robinson. One read “Stand with Tommy, free Tommy now,” whilst another branded the police, government and justice system as “corrupt”.
