Love him or hate him, that's not the point. This is not about Tommy Robinson; this is about the corrupt UK legal system (like I didn't know). Listen to what happened in court.
It is weird that when I was a daily Quora user UK members were always pointing to the problems in the US making the UK sound utopian. Being here for just a week I am beginning to think it just isn't so. Looks like we both have our problems to work out. Just learned about Tommy yesterday, have a lot of research to do.
When it comes to freedom of speech, I reckon it is worse in the UK than it is in the US; we have hate speech laws - a big mistake! It is fair to say that Tommy Robinson is a divisive figure. Some say he is a free speech fighter, and others say he is just a thug. He is loved by many because he speaks the truth, and he is also hated by many because he won't stop speaking the truth - ha, ha! You're right; the UK and the US, and the West as a whole, have common problems - freedom of speech, identity politics, political correctness, and so on. They drive me nuts! Enjoy the rest of your holiday in the UK! X
