    I wonder if this is the court case Tommy Robinson real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon was reporting on.

    The media arn't making much of a deal of this breaking news thus far which is a bit a bit strange. Maybe it's because 5 of the named go by the first name of Mohammad.


    The case Robinsons was jeopardising was nearing it's conclusion. Sounds like this one is only beginning. Could be related in some way, like the other case Robinson jeopardised was.

    And as horrific as that stat is - this is yet another example of a particular demographic targeting underage white girls.

    All cases of abuse have to be exposed - if gangs of Galway men were roaming round in organised "rape gangs" then Hell yes it should be front page when the filthy animals were convicted.

    Obviously never been in coppers on all Ireland weekend!*

    When confronted they just don't have any answers or evidence.

    "How am I far right?"

    You were a member of two far right organisations, including one which used to deny the Holocaust. You had a rally in favour of a man whose organisation wants to deport non-whites from Europe and was recently subject to a Channel 4 exposé where they were filmed ranting about "Pakis". The same organisation is openly welcomed at all his demos and events. He also has had brief flirtations with Loyalists in Ireland.

    So of course, expressing concern and criticism about Islam isn't in itself far right; leading mobs that engage in violence and blanketly categorising all Muslims as "enemy combatants" probably could be.

    Here is a shorter vid outlining it.


    This is the perfect example of why you can not trust mainstream media, they are shaping a narrative and not actually reporting the truth. I think even the anti-Robinson posters here can admit that this is wrong.

    How is there people out there that still use Sky "News" as their news source.

    It would stick in the craw of some people to agree with TR.

    Usually BBC, i dont like skys tabloid style breaking news and reporting first asking questions later. They often get storys completley wrong.

    BBC are a little slower but are usually more factually accurate.

    I think Tommy will have a problem with his lawsuit. Although Sky News did not quote his words, all they really have to do is show that his views and those in the video are the same and it sounds like they are.

    I agree with you on the lawsuit, but its clear Sky News were underhanded here in their editing of that interview, trying to fool people.

    Looks like Tommy has cost a few cadets their uniforms.

    For a simple photo they took with him, that is very stupid, this is such a non issue.

    i reckon the stupid thing is to take a picture cheering a politically contentious figure while in uniform.

    I read the article. Why does the British Army have a muslim advisor on retainer? A Muslim cannot join either the British Army or the police force. This is forbidden by the Muslim religion.

    Erm, you may want to get your facts right before puking out idiotic posts like that.
    Brit police force unveils new uniform for female Muslim officers

    For over 100 years Muslims have played an integral role in the British armed forces, including the 430,000 who served in the first world war.

    I think it is better known that a muslim cannot serve in a "Kafir" army or police force. You cannot reconcile the two ideas. There is an immediate conflict of interest between Civil and Sharia law. That is akin to saying that you are an IRA sympathizer in the 1980's in the London Metropolitan Police force. The two ideas are in direct conflict with each other. If you are to do your duty as a muslim and arrived at a scene of a difference between a native Briton and a Muslim, you are obliged to side with the muslim.

    You claimed that

    clearly this is nonsense as many do. As sharia law has no standing in britain I'm not sure why you think it is relevant.

    Sharia Law does have a standing as you can get a Sharia divorce (and is legally recognised by the civil power) and there are underground courts running in parallel to civil law.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,242 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Pathetic that they should lose jobs over it or that it is even a story.

    Can't have the working class lads follow a working class lad who doesn't know his place.

    Regardless of what you may believe, your claim that

    Is not only wrong but a blatant lie! Why would anyone believe any other claims you make when you spout nonsense like the above?
