Tommy Robinson jailed

[Deleted User]

Apparently according to Lauren Southern, Tommy has been sentenced to 13 months but there is a UK wide embargo on reporting.

Anyone else got any info?

Edit. Not too sure about the authenticity of the embargo. I'm assuming that it's for this https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/tommy-robinson-arrested-leeds-court-child-grooming-trial-edl-founder-latest-a8368821.html?amp

Why? Why don't you think Sinn Fein are nationalists?

I see no evidence of it. Why do you think they are?

I didn't state that they are, I asked you the question. Why did you stop reading after you saw "Sinn Fein and nationalist in the same sentence"?

It's scary to see people take Tommy Robinson's word for it when he hasn't released the video. Your evidence is a producer "seemed worried". Christ.

What's ever scarier is the millions that will take BBC'S panorama as fact.

Because I have seen no evidence of Sinn Fein nationalism certainly not in this century anyway. Do you think Sinn Fein are nationalists?

How would you define Nationalist?

They're a party that from every part of their core, are working towards a united Ireland, that's textbook Irish nationalism.

What's your definition of nationalism?

So what you're saying is believe nothing? Where have I heard that before:
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/12/opinion/russias-ideology-there-is-no-truth.html

Tell me, what news sources, alternative or mainstream, blogger or youtuber is trustworthy? Can we trust Tommy Robinson?

I trust him about as much as I trust the BBC.

So you don't trust him? Or you do trust the BBC? Your eagerness to not answer nor explain anything is getting kind of confusing to be honest.

I think this explains it well.

Do you have any opinions or thoughts of your own? All you're offering here are YouTube videos and links to overwrought Wikipedia articles.

What does nationalism mean to you?

Here’s Tommy in Italy looking for coke and calling taxi drivers “little Pakis”.

Lol, “when have I ever said anything that’s racist?” indeed.

Classy guy Tommy/Stephen.

Definitely not racist at all. :rolleyes:

His followers will still pretend that he's not racist and that everyone talks like that. They'll even present proof in the form of pictures taken with a brown person. I'm not sure if people like this are trolling or are truly that thick when they claim that convicted fraudster Tommy isn't a racist.

I wonder if this poster still thinks Yaxley-Lennon isn't a racist?

I admire his nationalism, as a nationalist myself. I don't believe that he is a racist. He has black friends, Muslim friends. His local football club Luton Town which he is a huge followers have a very multicultural fan base as the town itself is very multicultural. All the right wing football clubs in London loved an away day in Luton as it was a chance to fight the immigrants supporters and Luton hooligan firm (which is also extremely diverse).

I try put myself in his position and question how i would react. I certainly would not want my home town to be populated with the amount of Muslims that are in Luton and I would do my best to stop it. I don't wanna walk down the street and see nothing but Muslims and that's what it's like in parts of Luton. I certainly wouldn't want that here.

I'm not saying I take his word as a journalist as gospel, as much as i wouldn't take Sky News/BBC as gospel.

I don't think it bothers them. They're just trying to circumvent accusations of racism as it gives people a legitimate excuse to ignore the fake news and conspiracies people like Yaxley-Lennon spread.

He used a racist slur, it doesn't necessarily mean he is racist.

Ultimate Seduction

Racist or not doesn't make the message he's trying to spread un-true. Not a fan of tommy at all but I see what hes saying hes on about grooming gangs for years no one would listen.

If it was a one-off, maybe. But there's a pattern developing.

For someone trying to pass himself off as a genuinely concerned level-headed and non-racist citizen, he has this unbelievable talent for openly coming out with racist remarks on a consistent basis. To film himself proudly blasting racial slurs and then post it on the internet is bringing said talent to staggering new heights.

He's the kind of guy who could shoot himself in the foot from three hundred meters away.

Being racist isn’t a point against TR in his fan’s eyes. It’s part of his appeal. They might start off saying he’s not racist but that’s only to appease people who think racism is a bad thing.

Debating whether TR is racist should be a fairly short discussion. The interesting question to ask his followers is what difference it would make if he is racist. Would they change their opinion of him or stop following him. I suspect not but open to correction from any of his supporters.

I don't think I would be classed as a 'fan' but I honestly do not think Tommy Robinson is a racist.

Ok. And what would change if you found out he probably is racist?

In assuming you are referring to the recent Sun article.

I have said racist things, homophobic things and incredibly crude gallows humour to people in the past.

I wouldn't consider myself racist because I made jokes or said to things to my friends.

Yes. Yes it does.

I admit I have said tasteless things and will probably continue to do so in suitable company.

I've made Jimmy saville jokes too but I don't consider myself a paedophile apologist.

Mind blowing isn't it?

mcmoustache

These days, you have to literally be gassing jews before people stop their "but i don't think that makes him racist" nonsense.
