Tommy Robinson has been arrested outside a child grooming trial for allegedly breaching the peace. The co-founder of EDL livestreamed ‘reports’ from outside Leeds Crown Court for an hour this morning. He showed men entering the court on Facebook until he was approached by officers telling him to stop. In a separate video, the far-right activist is filmed being led away by police, arresting him for an alleged breach of the peace and incitement. He’s heard asking one of his supporters: ‘Can you get me a solicitor? Read more: metro.co.uk... Twitter: twitter.com... | Facebook: www.facebook.com...
He accused the authorities of ignoring criminal offenses on the part of certain individuals, while those individuals were on trial for the very things that he was suggesting had been ignored, which is the most illogical position it is possible to take. You cannot stand in front of a courthouse, complaining that the law is refusing to deal with a thing, when that thing is actually passing through the court system at the time. Its simply not realistic to do so.

What part of his conduct warrants a 13 month jail sentence?

Nothing you've stated, nor of that which he was apparently arrested for, warrants a 13 month jail sentence.
When this story first broke this morning, I went to do some reading and was met with 404'd pages and it soon became apparent there was a media blackout going on involving his arrest (and a jail sentence) for what was essentially videotaping an event.
Here are 2 YT videos, one by Mike Cernovich and the other by Stefan Molyenaux about the event and subsequent media blackout.
Why instigate such a blackout for what is being touted as a clear-and-cut case of illegal activity by Tommy Robinson?

Clearly the whole incident has gone over your head. He wasn't complaining about the law in front of the courthouse. He was recording those child abusers arriving to the court, and by UK laws it's forbidden to do that.
