Tommy Robinson 'convicted of journalism' claim is a distortion- Society of Editors

Tommy Robinson's claim that he has been "convicted of journalism" is a "dangerous distortion of the truth", the UK Society of Editors said.

The society, which has nearly 400 members, was referring to the slogan Robinson wore on a T-shirt as he arrived at court ahead of his sentencing for contempt of court over his Facebook broadcast of defendants in a criminal trial.
