If SYL is being ‘silenced’ it obviously isn’t working

newnamethanks · 27/10/2024 08:12

"A brave patriot". No, he is a conniving grifter and conman who Lives In a Foreign Country. As all our brave patriots do.

Hes not a thug, hes a brave patrio willing to call out the government's BS. The fact he continues to speak up about the issues blighting our country that the mainstream media keep denying, even in the face of censorship and being arrested, is extremely commendable

What's patriotic about conspiring with foreign groups whose aim is to destabilise the UK? He's been found out, the toady is begging for help from rightwing Sikhs and non British Muslim groups to attack British Muslims. Along with his alt-right backers in North America & Europe he has zero interest in the UK's best interests.

I think the arrest or whatever is planned so he misses the march but has riled up the followers enough to spread the hate.

The man is vile.

Completely agree with this

Nah having a difference of opinion is not being funny.
But before you judge, maybe watch the documentary LAWFARE: A Totalitarian State

He may have an aggressive exterior but hes a very intelligent, wise and perceptive man who makes some very enlightening points on the worrying state of our country

That lawfare "documentary" is just an absolute load of nonsense and dishonesty for the easily misled (though I will admit I couldn't make it all the way through, because of how much of a shamelessly dishonest grift it was).

He isn't intelligent, just slightly less stupid than his admirers.

@CowboyJoanna, what do you make of the fact that SYL is a convicted stalker, thug, harasser and fraudsters, who is known to defend convicted paedophiles?

What is it about his opinion/views that make you willing to overlook the above?

I'm hoping you'll finally be the SYL supporter answer this as every single other one on this thread has went silent when asked.

I absolutely despise Tommy Robinson, Laurence Fox and all that crowd. And I do listen to what they say. That's why I despise them.
I'd love Tommy to get what he deserves but I do fear him being seen as more of a martyr than he already is. Can't help feeling he handed himself in on the eve of his big demo to rile up his supporters tomorrow.

Don't be rude to me. I've now seen many reports saying the anti-racists outnumbered the far right. Not one report saying the far right outnumbered them.

I've now heard there were about 300,000 anti racism and 100,000 far right protesters. I thought the other figures were too low.

I am stunned by how many people who (probably) claim to be intelligent, are unable to rationaise that mainstream media is spoon fed and is not the full story or even the tip of the iceberg

Shocked at how many sheep there are

Yes there are reasons such as being a student or sick or being a carer that makes someone economically inactive, with sickness at 2.8 million being the biggest.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68639144.amp

But for every person that is economically inactive and receiving support from the state then someone else in employment has to pay taxes to support that person as well as other functions of the state (NHS, education, state pensions interest on debt etc).

Also long term sick and economically inactive are interlinked- if you become economically inactive then your health problems will get worse.

Rather than just importing labour through migration to fix this, I personally would prefer to incentivise the economically inactive back into the workforce and not to "just give up on" or "right them off". It would be better for their health, generate more tax revenue and reduce state spending.

It also says in the article:

Responding to the report, Shazia Ejaz at the Recruitment and Employment Federation (REC), which represents the recruitment industry, said long NHS waiting lists "are a big factor for why not enough people are well enough to work".

She added: "Better infrastructure around transport, childcare and social care will all help tackle the inactivity challenge the UK faces".

The government need to invest in vital services so that people can work. The NHS is fighting fires and people are reaching a point of crisis before their health issues are dealt with. Mental health support is virtually non existent.

We have some of the most expensive childcare in Europe and bus services have been cut. Getting people back to work means investment, it's not a simple issue.

Lennon is conspiring with rightwing groups from the USA and Europe, along with rightwing Sikhs to Foster hatred on the streets of Britain.
That's the evidence they are looking for.

Yes, I know; but my point was that they can stop anyone for no reason. All they have to do is say the magic word "suspicion."

No they can't. (Well they can and do, but you can find plenty of no win no fee lawyers who'll take them to court) They have to have articulable suspicion.

In Yaxley-lennon's case, they do. Plus, he's been remanded for a previous offense anyway.

@Locutus2000

"I'm no fan of Kaba, but would point out the armed officer who killed him didn't know any of that at the time"

But the armed officer did know that the vehicle stopped was involved in the nightclub shooting six days earlier and it would be a fair assumption that whoever was involved in the shooting could be in the vehicle (as was the case) which is why armed police stopped the car.
