Melanie Phillips Argues We Americans Misunderstand Robinson's Arrest

Mr. Pipes, I wonder if you had an opportunity to read the recent column by Melanie Phillips in which she argues we Americans have misunderstood British law relevant to the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Tommy Robinson. If so, do you disagree with her take, and why? She writes about Robinson starting at paragraph #9 in this piece: http://www.melaniephillips.com/mob-hysteria-both-sides-aisle/
