    Funny how you only (or pretty much only) thank posts by those that support tommy.

    Humour is subjective I suppose. I don't find it that funny.

    Why haven't the British police been investigating these calls to violence? A notorious hate figure with a huge following has been committing crimes in the open and is being ignored by the authorities? Hopefully facebook have passed the evidence on, or someone somewhere has witnessed / recorded it.

    Wrong to close off a working class perspective just because one disagrees with it.

    Pretending it was inciting violence is just an excuse.

    It's not a working class perspective. Yaxley-Lennon has nothing in common with the working class.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    No pretending required. He was inciting violence. Which is against FB policy. And he was previously warned about his posts but decided to keep breaking that policy regardless. What should FB have done? Do you think they should have allowed him to incite hatred and violence?

    Sorry but I disagree with the implication that the working classes are mostly racist simpletons.

    'Can't win a debate about Tommy Robinson or the virtues of the right? I know! I'll bring up Trump!'

    Just when I thought "the right wants to live their lives" was going to be the stupidest thing I'd read today...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    On twitter all the right wingers are going nuts saying that facebook lets terrorist accounts exist but close tommy/stephen. Show them a link that says facebook is deleting thousands of accounts and they switch the topic to "yeah, but has be broken the law"

    It doesn't actually matter what facts are, people like that only care about how they feel. Pointing out facts should make most people step back and question what they were saying, but it doesn't.

    They all relate to specific posts of tommys. Or do you think that FB just made them up? Do you think that he did not post the things that FB mentioned?

    I am just curious as to what specific posts are offensive .Can you show a link ?

    In your opinion.

    It might be better to say his views are not fully supported by all the working class but represent a significant part of a working class analysis.

    The problem for him is that that analysis does not enjoy much support in the Middle and Upper class.

    In the modern Left there is a synergy between mostly middle and upper class activists and working class voters

    .
    This gap is across the Left and is only accelerating.
    Certainly makes them more acceptable to the establishment. Robinson is beating a drum on issues that the Middle class are happy to ignore for votes, doesn't happen in their neighbourhood.

    Well i cant show them to you as Tommy deleted them. That is not an issue for FB as they can still see them. Though i bet you're not actually curious at all and would dismiss them if i could show them to you. You dont care if he said them or not.

    Again, putting words in people's mouths, claiming to know what people are thinking and being unnecessarily confrontational.

    Lovely stuff.

    The police missed them, panorama missed them, his enemies missed them which includes activist organisations whose sole purpose is to expose and fight against 'hate', islamophobia etc. and who would have known all you had to do was go to his facebook page with 1 million + subscribers to find evidence of crimes that could have gotten him not only banned but put in jail.

    The crime had so many victims that not one of them saw it.

    It has a couple of examples here.

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/tommy-robinson-facebook-ban-instagram-permanent-far-right-edl-racism-a8797451.html

    And explains that he was given a warning for his posts in January.

    So it's basically a large multinational known for fabricating lies to governments and selling user information, against Robinson so excuse me if I want to see proof of the alleged posts he made.
