Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
Tommy Robinson has many Redneck supporters in USA. I have watched a YouTube channel where the guy running the channel reads Breitbart news articles and other pro Trump articles. I laugh so much when he says that Tommy Robinson will one day become the Leader of UK. Crazy thing is these deluded Yanks really believe it !!

I thought Farage had him earmarked as his future Home Secretary.

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
Alex Jones, gun nut and conspiracy theorist read on Wikipedia.......''Jones has been criticized for propagating conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012 and the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 being false flag operations engineered by gun control advocates. In particular, he has stated that "no one died" in Sandy Hook and that Stoneman Douglas survivor David Hogg was a crisis actor. Claims made in support of these theories have been proven false.''
Crazy thing is that so many Right wing nutcases believe such deluded stories. Amongst other popular conspiracy stories are such things as that America never landed on the moon, the world is flat, Elvis and Hitler are alive and well, the mind boggles !

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
The really scary thing about Yaxley-Lennon are his supporters, and there are a fair few of them floating about on social media.
With these people he literally is some sort of political colossus. They genuinely believe the following:
1. He actually “exposes” child abusers through legitimate journalistic work
2. Any piece of negative news about him is “fake news”, even when they are using actual quotes which came from his own mouth
3. Pretty much all British institutions are “corrupt”, including the entire British justice system and all judges because they have the audacity to pursue a criminal case against him for almost tanking a court trial
4. That a man who never shuts up and is never out of the media is being “silenced”
5. That anybody who doesn’t fully endorse him supports child abusers, radical terrorists and communism
There really is not a shred of rationality with these people. And the terrifying thing is that they’d vote for him in an instant.

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
Why so much publicity for such a small number of morons
These lunatics need to be ignored like the pathetic bullies that they are.
They only keep interviewing Farage and co hoping they will spout something unpleasant.
These people glory in having their mugs plastered all over the media and their vile rhetoric spread via the same channels

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
Whilst I am not a supporter of Robinson, why did the government throw a cloud of secrecy over all the abuse cases involving Asian men? That’s my only concern in this matter. What he did was wrong no doubt about it, but it highlighted to a wider audience what was going on as the media was not allowed to report on any cases that were going on. Yet rape cases were being reported on as were other abuse cases like that Nick on the MP’s abuse case.

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
You mean, why did Tommy Robinson almost cost the system a load of money but having to have a re-trail after he tried to 'expose' people already being trailed in our justice system?Thor wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:09 am Whilst I am not a supporter of Robinson, why did the government throw a cloud of secrecy over all the abuse cases involving Asian men?

That's what they want you to believe but isnt it suspicious that this comes out on the same day the Sun have a story about Kate going to see the new 'royal' baby?

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
I do wonder about this. The problem is that these people are particularly loud and relentless on social media, so does it skew the appearance that they are a majority? When, in fact, they are just a rather loud minority.CreamofSumYungGai wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 10:09 amThe scariest thing about this is the sheer number of people in this category.Esteban wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 7:58 am The really scary thing about Yaxley-Lennon are his supporters, and there are a fair few of them floating about on social media.

On the other hand, how many quietly support him but don't say anything through fear of being shamed.
It used to be silent Tories, but I reckon there's a lot of silent Tommys.

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
I'm not suggesting it's a majority. Of course it's a minority. But yeah it's a very vocal one.
Actually, what's even scarier is the number of people who don't challenge his supporters.

To them, reality is what they want it to be. All those things I listed above, they genuinely believe and no facts, truth or reasoned argument will change their mind. Everybody is susceptible to a bit of confirmation bias, especially when it comes to politics, but these people operate at pathological levels.
Their arguments are always painfully simplistic.
All media (except the specific platforms which say nice things about Yaxley-Lennon) are "fake news".
All politicians (except the ones which sympathize with Yaxley-Lennon) are members of "the estabishment"
Any institution (especially the one which is currently holding Yaxley-Lennon to account for his behaviour) is "corrupt"
They are also obsessed with "antifa". Basically anybody who disagrees with them is "antifa". And all "antifa" are violent thugs
They genuinely believe that he is some sort of political messiah. It's really, really worrying. Critical thought, nuance and logical thinking goes completely out of the window.
It's terrifying.

Re: Tommy Robinson to face new contempt charges
The government did no such thing. The judge in this trial had ordered that reporting restrictions not be lifted because it was part of a series of linked trials, so no reporting until the last trial had been concluded. It is irrelevant what happened reporting-wise in a different trial covering similar issues, the judge in each trial weighs up on its particular circumstances what can and can't be reported, to balance both a fair trial and that justice is seen to be done.Thor wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2019 8:09 am Whilst I am not a supporter of Robinson, why did the government throw a cloud of secrecy over all the abuse cases involving Asian men?

In this case it was not up to Yaxley-Lennon whether or not he should "highlight to a wider audience" what was happening; the judge had ruled there should be no reporting, and breaching that order is contempt of court.
