AIBU to hope 'Tommy Robinson' finally faces some consequences?

Gosh. So much hate on this thread towards the poor, the uneducated and the disadvantaged

“Gosh”, how bloody offensive are you? assuming the poor, uneducated and disadvantaged are nasty, racist bigots.

How do you explain Farage, Jenrick, Braverman, Tice, Badenoch, and so on and so on? Don’t fall into your categories, do they?

Well, I doubt that all the people in 1930s Europe who voted for and supported Nazi and Fascist governments were far right thick racists, either. Some were, or were some of these things (e.g. not all far right people are thick, and vice versa). Bur some thought that Hitler/ Mussolini would improve their economic position, or were deceived by their seeming charisma

Well, I doubt that all the people in 1930s Europe who voted for and supported Nazi and Fascist governments were far right thick racists, either. Some were, or were some of these things (e.g. not all far right people are thick, and vice versa). Bur some thought that Hitler/ Mussolini would improve their economic position, or were deceived by their seeming charisma.

Economic desperation does increase the chances of people being attracted to extremists who seem to offer a solution. Europe in general. and Germany in particular, were in a very bad economic position after WW1, and were especially badly affected by the worldwide depression of the 1930s. But this doesn't explain all of the support for far right leaders. Tommy Robinson gets lots of funding, and clearly this doesn't come from people with no money,

Tommy Robinson will fortunately never have the power of a Hitler or even a Mussolini, but his types are still very dangerous.

well ...

One supposes that with him out of action - and still facing a two (or is it five) stretch for not unlocking his phone - plus any charges that may arise from that content, Spain may have to wait.

I rather enjoy supposing that the donations made by his horrible racist supporters will go a long way towards paying the damages, still outstanding, awarded to the libelled Syrian boy. Unless SYL pockets the lot and buggers off back to Spain which seems more likely.

Seriously!? He spouts lies and bullshit, a basic fact check would disprove much of what he says. Some people really are thick as shit, you'd have to to believe a word he says. He's a grifter.

I have, it's quite sad. He's a patriot. A man of the people. A rival to Starmer. A political prisoner.

One wag said that he was separated from other prisoners because his crying would keep them awake.

The mugs probably don't understand that. Have a look at the comments on the Daily Mail!

What does he need a "legal fund" for? He pleaded Guilty.

And apologies for spelling Tommeh wrong - its actually spelt S T E P H E N

Yes, he's not really called Timmy Robertson, it's Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon. The little chump.

They are aiming to raise £125k. I wish someone would crowd fund me £100k in a few hours 😩

Like most of these funding sites, people are sending donations. He has his supporters. He, apparantly, has millions of followers on one of the sites. 🤷‍♀️

I doubt its made up of 50p's his more obvious supporters have found down the back of the sofa.
There is some serious and rather sinister money behind YL

Kerching.🤑🤑🤑

Because I was agreeing with you, but adding a bit. Apologies

Really? Source please

A few Russians lose their benefits maybe ?

A ‘legal fund’ was set up this afternoon for him asking for donations, it’s already at just over £100k… how?!

Got my wish, finally.
Not that it will bother his supporters one bit.

Oh dear, poor Timmy. He'll be off to an all Muslim jail again. To be murdered again...

He could have avoided it, by simply not repeating his slanders and more so, not making a film repeating them and posting it online. He could, despite all that, have had a reduced sentence by taking it down, but no, he wants to go to prison. He wants to pretend that he's a free speech martyr.

So you know very little of the abhorrent person but you are still posting in his defence?

I just didn't know about him having a different name in his Irish passport. I've read different publications reports on him and his ramblings, as well as his court cases. I even started watching some of his videos, but I couldn't take it.

I know enough to be able to criticise him.

You can get in the bin if you think that because I am poor and disadvantaged I support thon grifting hate monger! He doesn't represent me or anyone like me, no matter how "uneducated". Uneducated doesn't mean stupid you know.

Tommy Robinson is an EU citizen who lives in Spain. He exploits UK citizens, he costs us taxpayer's money and laughs all the way to the bank. He's nothing but scum!
