.....counter-demonstrators, who were shouted down and labelled “scum”, or a woman holding a placard listing Robinson's previous criminal offences.
After it was spotted, a small group of angry supporters starting shouting at the woman, ripping the sign out of her hand and destroying it before she was surrounded by police officers.
Emma Lyons, a 20-year-old history student at the London School of Economics, said her sign had been a “list of the laws Tommy Robinson has broken”, including mortgage fraud and entering the US under a false passport.
Visibly shaken, she told The Independent: “I was just holding it and people ripped it out of my hands. I was just drawing attention to what's happening, just the facts.”
She said Robinson's supporters started shouting at her about “Muslim rape gangs” and accused her of being a Holocaust denier.
Ms Lyons said she protested over concern that Robinson had jeopardised a case at Leeds Crown Court and because “it bothers me with the way it's being portrayed and the people he surrounds himself with”.
“I wouldn't say that this is a case that's been well-managed by the legal system but I don't think it's a freedom of speech issue,” she added.
As tensions rose, officials at the Old Bailey shut the main entrance used by lawyers, jurors and journalists, and later had to scrub human faeces off the door.
Anti-media sentiment ran strongly through the crowd, with Robinson supporters filming and photographing journalists as photographers were verbally abused, pushed and shoved.
