Not a Tommy Robinson scholar, but his record is littered with assaults and crimes that have little to do with political activism. Sort of a Michael Ferguson for the right.
He was arrested, tried, and imprisoned literally all within a manner of a few hours for filming with his iPhone the Muslim rape gangs going on in the UK that the government and the mainstream media are desperately trying to keep quiet. It's as Orwellian as you can get.
This is pure nonsense Gunny, he was arrested for trying to influence the result of the trial, he was actively trying to get a mistrial declared to try and inflame racial tensions in England, he plead guilty and then tried to blame his lawyers
This is a Twitter "Moment" (cringe) from an actual reporter who was there at the time and doing actual journalism rather than what Robinson was doing: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1001517056150339584
Robinson is a dangerous racist who is purely interested in inciting racial hatred, he is not some freedom fighter standing up for free speech and British values, hes an arrogant, hateful man.
CMS, I don't know anything about the guy so if he is indeed a racist and that's not just some smear label that his enemies have attached to him, then he deserves to be roundly condemned. However, I'm not comfortable that someone can stand in public and make a video with their iPhone and get sentenced to 13 months for doing so. But y'all can run your country however you see fit, as it's not my or any American's place to tell you what laws you should make and enforce.
A: He didnt just stand there and film, please, read the link i posted, it details precisely what he did and why it was illegal.
B: He was already under a suspended sentence for a previous charge when he committed this crime, which is why the sentence was 13 months
Okay, I read your Twitter moment and I'm even more appalled. He was a private citizen standing IN PUBLIC filming Facebook live video with his iPhone who according to that journalist committed the unpardonable sin of verbally giving his opinion on the matter that he was filming. The other unforgivable sin he apparently committed was not being an "accredited journalist."
The horror!! How dare he not be accredited!!! And speak his "uninformed" opinions into a Facebook live video!!! For the second time even!! Lock that criminal up and throw away the key immediately!!!!!!
Like I said, y'all are welcome to run the UK however you see fit, but him being imprisoned for precisely what that journalist who was present described is anathema to me. Absolutely beyond comprehension that a citizenry would not only allow it, but even support it. And it makes me thankful that at least to the present day, that is not something I believe most Americans would support happening here.
Because its not just him giving his opinion to his followers, hes talking about an ongoing trial which he (and everyone else) has been specifically ordered not to talk about until it is over. Its not a permanent reporting ban, its a temporary ban for the duration of the Trial to try and ensure that the Jurors dont get influenced further by outside opinion and so the defendant/s can get a fair trial, because if they dont get a fair trial, they can appeal and get the verdict overturned. In America i believe they achieve this aim by sequestering the Jury (or at least, thats what the John Grisham novels ive read have told me
)
The point is that Robinson knows this is why hes been arrested and Jailed, he's trying to get the Trial go to a mistrial, because thats what will cause further public outrage, which is his ultimate aim, he doesnt give a **** about justice in this particular case, hes using it for his own reprehensible motives.
I'm the English Guy
