'i love my job'

Traffic warden laughs as he slaps ticket on Tommy Robinson’s ‘battle bus’ outside the Old Bailey

A TRAFFIC warden grinned as he slapped a ticket on Tommy Robinson's "battle bus" today and told the ex-EDL boss's supporters: "I love my job sometimes".

Angry crowds gathered outside the Old Bailey in London and faced off with police after Robinson was found guilty of contempt of court today.

They surrounded the red double-decker bus, which was being used as a makeshift stage, before hurling beer cans, traffic cones and street signs at cops and journalists.

But the chaos didn't stop one cheerful warden from casually strolling over and slapping a £130 parking fine on its windscreen.

Supporters of Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - booed and heckled the beaming worker, with some shouting "jobsworth!"

He turned to the crowds and happily told them the fine would only be £65 if paid quickly before walking off and joking: "Oh I do love my job sometimes."

HAVING A FINE TIME

The cheeky warden also pointed and gave a thumbs up to fuming fans of Robinson after plonking the ticket on the vehicle.

This afternoon Robinson was found guilty of contempt of court by filming defendants in a criminal trial.

Dame Victoria Sharp, sitting at the Old Bailey with Mr Justice Warby, found him in contempt when he "aggressively" filmed defendants and live-streamed the footage, in breach of a reporting ban, outside Leeds Crown Court in May 2018.

Robinson, from Luton, Bedfordshire, could be sent back to jail for up to two years.

The 36-year-old was jailed for 13 months in May 2018 after he filmed people involved in a criminal trial at Leeds Crown Court and broadcast the footage on social media.

His previous jail time included a three-month suspended sentence for contempt at Canterbury Crown Court in May 2017.
