Do any Brits here know what this is about? What exactly did he do wrong?

In May 2018, Robinson was sentenced to 13 months' imprisonment for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court, contravening a court order that disallows reporting on such trials while proceedings are ongoing. On 1 August 2018, due to procedural errors, he was released on bail pending a new hearing of the case.[30] On 5 July 2019, Robinson was again found guilty of contempt of court at the retrial and was sentenced at the Old Bailey to nine months in prison on 11 July․[31][32] Before his sentencing, Robinson appeared on InfoWars and appealed for political asylum in the United States.
This is what he is going to jail for now. For recording Muslim men in court, who were involved in a rape sex ring.
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...
There are many problems going on where police and government are protecting the Muslims doing crimes while preventing non-immigrants from any protection of the police and courts.

The contempt charge comes from the violation of a gag order during the duration of a trial. The UK has different laws regarding reporting during trials, and this particular law is to prevent the risk of jurors being swayed. He had already been serving a suspended sentence for doing it.
Robinson likes to portray himself as a free speech martyr but he has a lot of baggage relating to violence (at least one bar fight, one fight at a soccer game). I will say, the reports of him being a racist are lazy and inaccurate; his focus is on Muslims, not race, and he left the English Defense League when white nationalists started taking it over.
"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
Maybe some of you don’t remember, but your nation and mine fought against fascism in the 1940’s. It’s still around and popular in some quarters. People seem to have forgotten what it does. When you see it, beat it down, hard.
