    He's indeed a legend, he is quite popular in America and England.

    I've read a lot about him and he never came across as saying anything racist.

    He's more against wahabbism and salafism than anything.
    He's never had anything bad to say about Allawites Shia's and Sufi Muslims.

    Yet a lot of people cannot comprehend that he's not against Islam as a whole but against the more radical Islamic teaching and subscriber's.

    Being racist is saying that your race is better than another.
    Racism has nothing to do with religion or politics, it's to do with race.

    Lost his case it seems.

    Maybe should have taken the settlement which the police apparently begged him to take multiple times, although I suspect that the supposed settlement offers may have been wishful thinking.

    It seems he wasnt with his children when the police told him to leave the pub

    I'm very surprised to hear there's a police Sgt. in Cambridge that doesn't (didn't) know who he was. No telly, no Facebook/Twitter, and hadn't read a newspaper this decade?

    "1980s footlball hooligan" comment was hilarious. He was born in the '80s. :pac:

    Judge disagrees.
    “That is not in my judgement is the case. Mr Lennon is not as well known as he or his supporters might think."

    It's spooky that on the day, March 7, that an interview with Tommy Robinson was uploaded where he said that if Brexit was delayed he would run as MEP or MP for UKIP—within hours the Attorney General had decided to retry him for contempt of court, thus curtailing his political ambitions.

    The establisment want to keep Tommy under their thumb.

    Fair point. I would have expected the police to know though.

    When bigotry isn't a source of happiness for some, maybe it is a bit harder for them to come by.

    That's ok I'm willing to write off them and anyone who supports them as a racist. The risk of misjudging someone is acceptable to me.
