AIBU to ask what views of TR people object to?

ToKittyornottoKitty · 03/08/2026 00:26

What’s TR?

Pansypots · 03/08/2026 00:31

Tommy Robinson.

All of his views. They have no place in a modern society.

ToKittyornottoKitty · 03/08/2026 00:32

Oh, didn’t realised people still talk about him. I’m sure you can use google OP

PinkArt · 03/08/2026 00:35

Ok. He says [racist things] and I think he's wrong because [racism is bad]. Does that answer your question?
You've don't think that him being a fascist is enough of a reason to object to him though?

dnadiscoveryquery · 03/08/2026 00:37

YABU Firstly for thinking everyone would know what you were talking about with your TR.

He’s a strong divisive figure who spreads anti Muslim rhetoric. He uses confrontation language about minority groups and stirs up anger and hatred.

Thats not the kind of society I want to live in.

I have first hand knowledge of the backlash him and his cronies cause. My sister is in a mix race marriage and the abuse they have had over the last few years, while TR etc have been spreading their hate, his increased 10 fold.

Engage your thinking apparatus, OP.

He's a screeching hypocrite as well as racist

He spouts the cause of sex abuse cases only if the grooming gangs are Asian

He and his followers jeopardised at least one case, interfering with the trial, defendants and shouting sexually abusive insults at the victims He claimed to support

Meanwhile, members of his organisation have been prosecuted for the same or similar crimes with not a word said.

BabblingBiddy · 03/08/2026 00:50

The clips of his followers marching through London shouting "get your tits out for the lads" doesn't make me think that he cares about women's safety.

JustMerelyHere · 03/08/2026 01:02

I voted YABU for assuming anyone would know what TR means.

Velumental · 03/08/2026 01:13

He's a racist xenophobic hate mongerer, so not being a racist xenophobic hate filled maniac myself I disagree with everything he stands for. It would be tricky to pick just 1 nugget of sh**

There is a lot of hate towards TR on many of these threads. Im interested to know what of his opinions etc that people are so outraged by? And please no ‘he’s a bigot’ ‘he’s a facist’ just pure and simple he says x and I think he’s wrong for y reason

His opinions that Muslims are violent, generalizing about all Muslims negatively, thinking it's ok to break the law and commit crimes, saying antisemitic things although now he claims to be Zionist, encouraging riots and violence.

But he's a Christian now..Aye right if him and his kind went to church it would crumble around them.
It tied to the crusades etc
Knights in hoodies and stone island🤣🤣🤣

Why by the Specials
Still relevant now after 40+years.

TempestTost · 03/08/2026 04:05

It is interesting that the thread was 10ish posts in before anyone even attempted to give an example of an actual view he held.

It does rather as suggest many do not know what he's said.

The fact you have to ask is either ignorance or you’re stirring. YABU

He’s an irrelevance. Holds no power or sway, just another online far-right grifter. Only very gullible people listen to him.

He's hardly an "irrelevance". Have you seen the number of people who attended his marches in London?

He's the voice of most regular people in the UK but the MSM have decided he's too anti-establishment.

Please point me to where he encourages riots and violence?

VashtaNerada · 03/08/2026 07:16

A quick search comparing reputable sources shows that he tells lies. These lies could be reasonably interpreted as an attempt to stir up racial hatred. These lies include:

English streets infiltrated by ‘radical Islam’
Refugees from Syria being a ‘military invasion’
Grooming gangs as an exclusively Muslim issue

He openly says he is opposed to Islam and says that Muslims are much more likely to be violent than any other group.

Existing mobilisation literature has largely focused on groups and collective sensemaking processes as the primary drivers of collective action. However, online influencers have emerged as key leaders and mobilisers, which can shape collective ...

The only thing I'd say re above is that grooming gangs (rape gangs) are not EXCLUSIVELY a muslim issue (where did he say that?) but apart from that...how are those lies?

SusanJJ · 03/08/2026 07:19

TR? Sorry but I am not interested enough in him to recognise the initials. Is this part of some campaign on his behalf? There was a similar thread yesterday.

Really, in what way?

@Mymyi - since you’re clearly a fan, why don’t you explain what you like about him?
