    Funny whenever you see him interviewing those who hate him they can never give a logical reason why they hate him just what they have heard from others.why not actually listen to what he says instead of being told what to think by the media because he really isn't the bogeyman they make him out to be.

    personally i think he is a legend to be honest

    he's no saint , but who is

    any video's i've seen of him interviewing people , they haven't a clue what to say to him , except the press said this and that etc

    he speaks facts and only one in uk who has the gonads to go after extremists

    watch his skynews interview , he live streams all his interviews as they happen so his words can't be mixed or twisted

    sky news basically cut and edited the interview to suit their agenda

    same with the bbc

    people here are afraid to speak out against the mass allowance of foreigners here from war torn countries because you will be called a racist

    Wow.

    That's some site. Some of the citations are tenuous at best.

    Perhaps read some interviews with the man himself or even some videos that were posted up a few pages ago for some balance.


    what citations are tenous?

    what citations are tenous?

    The ones that link back to the Telegraph "article" on the "real" Tommy Robinson. It's basically just a hit piece that wouldn't be out of place on Vice or Buzzfeed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,136 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    Highlighting crime that was not being acted upon due to the police being afraid of being branded racist is not racism.

    Being anti immigration is not racist.

    Disagreeing with an ideology and highlighting the worrying parts of that ideology is not racism.




    But joining the BNP, the EDL and going on about "pakis" is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,550 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    I don't think reported cases of paedophelia carried out by white british people are not acted upon for fear of racism.
    Is that true? Why limit it to racism? There were recent revelations about sexual abuse in private schools in England.

    Sexual abuse by white teachers and monks was covered up. Seems right up TR’s street but he wasn’t interested in that.

    So he was exorcised about non white muslim sexual abusers, but wasn’t interested in white Christian sexual abusers. I wonder what’s the difference that means he was so interests in one and silent on the other.... I wonder.

    He wasnt bothered about white christian sexual abusers that he knew personally so why would he care about ones he did not know?

    People had genuine concerns about immigration but where called racist when they bought them up. SJWS and open border types shout down anybody with a different view, lables them racist, islamphobic etc.The media and politicians not wanting to be seen as racist follow suit.

    People who are not racist but have genuine concerms regarding education needs, treatment of women or benefits have nowhere to turn in the mainstream political or media so where do they go ?


    In steps Tommy a man with multiple convictions, he takes them genuine concerms and morphs them into an anti immigrant agenda, he uses the fear some may have and transforms it into hate. All while screaming he is been silenced.

    Then comes the genius part. The collection bucket comes out. "They are silencing me", "they are going to kill me" "Facebook are close to disabling my account but if you donate by following the link you can keep recieving my videos".

    All that been said if he wasn't appealing to the lowest common denominator and been quite racist in his ways he has shone a light on a few issues. This expose of the BBC could really be good. Judging by what he has leaked so far it could be quite embarrassing.

    In fairness to him too the leak of his WhatsApp conversation is ridiculous too. Jaysus there's worse any group of lads what's apps.n

    that tommy has friends in the EDL that have been convicted of sexual abuse? Yes it is. It has been linked to numerous times already on this thread.

    Utter nonsense.

    The media has been peddling Xenophobia and racism for decades. It's highly profitable.

    Luton 20 years ago 1 mosque

    luton now 50 + moques

    abu hamza ( guy with the hook ) was a hate preacher in these moques

    there is a full background into this if you bother to check

    the guy can't set foot in his hometown because of the muslims , such a peaceful non backwards religon

    whatever about his past

    what he is saying now is true about the extremists

    FACT 95 % of the knife crime in the uk ( talking about murders of young teenagers ) is muslim gangs , they were not in the uk 20 years ago

    grooming gangs were not there 20 years ago

    wait till we are swamped with it , and believe me it will happen , will your opinion still be the same

    I went and found the snopes article that image is from. Basically you are just repeating figures that have been made up. So either you knew that it was unproven and therefore lied or it makes you look much, much worse.



    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/london-knife-crime-muslims/


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,136 ✭✭✭Odhinn




    From your article -
    We found no evidence to support the notion that the vast majority of such crimes were committed by Muslim immigrants.

    We turned up no available figures on the proportion of knife crimes in 2017 perpetrated by Muslims, or by immigrants, or by Muslim immigrants. Neither the Office for National Statistics, nor the Home Office, nor the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, has published any such data, so it is entirely unclear what the source of the “11,000” figure claimed in the meme is.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭I see sheep



    "The most recent report, in 2016, showed that of the 25,121 people convicted for a violent crime that year, 83 percent identified as white, 7 percent identified as black; and 5.8 percent identified as Asian."

    He certainly conducts himself in a far more classy way than the likes of leftist twats such as Owen Jones but of course he's outside the echo chamber groupthink and gets slaughtered for it the same way anyone who doesn't have full on leftist views gets slaughtered.

    Why drag up the past and I can't help noticing how those with leftist views appear to be far more intolerant of dissent of those than those who are supposedly on the right and resort to name calling and childish temper tantrums when they don't get their own way and calling for no platforming of views they don't agree with this is a huge problem on the left which anyone with a bit of common sense couldn't deny.

    I'm not a fan of Owen Jones either but jesus christ, I laughed out loud at that. Your definition of "classy" is definitely wildly divergent from the average person's. If you have any anecdotes about Owen Jones filming himself chatting about scoring coke, calling taxi drivers "Pakis", getting in public brawls, turning up to people's parents' houses to intimidate them or anything in that ballpark then please enlighten me.

    Not forgetting publicly describing a 15 year olds girl as "fit". Though being tommy he couldn't help throwing in a bit of casual racism as well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,487 ✭✭✭Mutant z


    Criticising an ideology is perfectly reasonable imo i just don't understand the double standards of many on the left who are very quick to call out homophobia and sexism when it comes to white christians but remain remarkably silent about homophobia and sexism within islam which is far worse than anything ever from the west even at it's worse why the sudden silence when it comes to human right issues within islam.

    In fairness that girl looked well over the age, he wouldn't be the first to make a mistake like that. At least he's not raping 15 year olds.

    I doubt he does. If you google how many mosques in luton the very first result is a map with all 26 mosques location. If the first figure he runs with is made up then I'd imagine the rest is too.

    Not all but a huge chunk certainly are but if they ever actually stopped and listened to his arguments instead of calling him every insult under the sun they may find he has a point about islam and what it entails but somehow speaking about it makes him the most hateful person on the planet i just don't get it.
