Unlike that Oscar guy who drowned because he did not want to work in a pizzeria and share the house with his mother-in-law, Tommy Robinson is actually being persecuted for his political views and thus has an actual claim to asylum.
Only if 'I can do whatever I want, and the law won't apply' qualfies as a 'political view'.
He is being held responsible for deliberately acting in a manner prejudicial to the ability of the legal system to give people a fair trial. Repeatedly. After having been warned several times not to.
Defendants have a right to a fair trial. They have a right not to have fuckwits attempt to prejudice juries against them.
Tommy Robinson isn't being persecuted; He's being prosecuted - and rightly so, as he was deliberately and maliciously acting in a way calculated to cause direct harm to the rights of others, and he failed to stop doing this when warned not to.
He is being persecuted in the same way that Trump is a very stable genius - it actually takes more than simply asserting something for it to be the truth.
He's a vicious and bigoted cunt, and he's a narcissistic coward to boot. So I can understand why Trump supporters love him. But he's in no way being persecuted - any person of any political persuasion who did the same thing (broadcasting images of defendants in an active criminal trial, during the period of a lawful order not to do so) would get the exact same treatment by the legal system.
He's also not able to claim asylum in the US by dint of not being in the US; And the US immigration system has made it very clear that (as a result of his previous deportation for illegally entering the US on a fake passport), he is not welcome there even as a visitor.
