Why has Tommy Robinson been arrested under anti terrorism laws?

He's a Father and Husband, I believe his wife separated from him following awful threats to their children...so for their safety they seperated....If the state can arrest him, they can arrest any of us...Having watched the film about the so called waterboarding incident in a school, of a Syrian refugee child...it seems there is a massive cover up going on....the council allegedly paid 250K hush money to force teachers to sign NDAs.....on the back of the Rotherham grooming scandal this is very strange....anyone else think is state over reach and a massive cover up ?

Seriously?

He doesn’t care about the girls that were groomed by gangs, he only cares about the girls that were groomed by Asian men. The man is a vile racist. His followers are equally vile.

Nah, he only cares about how he can use their stories to make money.

He doesn't give a fuck about the victims at all.

His wife divorced him because he's not a good husband, not for the safety of the children. Not sure where you got that gem from.

More likely to help him hide assets before he filed for bankruptcy.

Is @VeryOldMan SL-Y’s Grandad?

Ah yes, wasn't there a suggestion at the time that they were only divorcing on paper?

People who lie down with (racist) pigs, get up smelling of (racist) shit, @happydappy2. Don't applaud and support a racist.

He’s long been a thorn in the side of those trying to bring criminals to justice.

fixed it for you.

his “refusal to remain silent” nearly got 30 sex offenders freed.

So Robinson's total contribution to bringing child sex offenders to justice has been the release of nearly 30 of them?Shock

That sounds about right. He's a disgusting grifter!Angry

Tommy Robinson used photos taken from a 2017 article about a teenage cancerrpatient from Surreyy[13] to claim incorrectly that the Syrian refugee had previously attacked two schoolgirls.[21] Hours after spreading the claims during two Facebook livee* broadcasts, Robinson admitted to his followers that he had helped spread fake newss*. Saying that he had been duped, he said: "I have been completely had, how embarrassing man".[31] The mother of a girl who had been alleged to have been attacked, posted to Robinson's Facebook page that Jamal was not the attacker.

And he lost the trial for libel.

But somehow he is being silenced, still making these claims. Making the attacker a victim of the system and the syrian boy a predator. But nope, no inciting hate anywhere. Ever. Because "exposing" a 15 yo boy as an attacker of girls in incites love and happiness and pink fluffy clouds.

If Tommeh-Ten-Names has been arrested then it's probably safe to assume it's because of allegations he's broken the law. Which, if past form is anything to go by, is a result of him deliberately flouting the law in a desperate attempt to get arrested because he can then use that to bring in donations from his gullible and/or easily frightened followers.

It's the classic right-wing grift - find an exploitable audience you can keep scared by vilifying the "threat" posed some minority or other, then tell them that you've got the answer but you need them to give you lots of money.

Because he's exposing the complete failure of councillors staying quiet about the Rotherham grooming scandal, whilst also allegedly paying off the Head teacher & other teachers, making them sign NDAs, to quash the story of what really happened in that school, with the so called water boarding incident. Safeguarding children is a FWR issue....Just wondered if anyone else had watched the video about the incident & following court case & what they thought.

Yes, I did, and all of his other documentaries, definitely an eye opener. If he is so racist then why am I watching a live stream from his supporters, including people from India, Iran, Africa, etc, plus 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants that have embraced the UK. People believe the lies that have been spread about him.

TattiePants · 28/07/2024 17:25

About 10 years ago he came to my city to join in a protest against an alleged rapist. I bet you can guess what colour skin the alleged rapist had and what colour skin the victim had. Unfortunately there's been plenty more rapes since then and funnily enough, he's never been back to protest against the overwhelming majority of white rapists (or non-white victims).

Probably his take on it.

He talks utter shite.

Beezknees · 28/07/2024 17:26

You're incredibly naive if you believe anything that man says.

And being a father and husband doesn't mean you can commit crimes and get away with it.

Westfacing · 28/07/2024 17:27

He hasn't been arrested - if only.

ArseholeCatIsABlackAndWhiteCat · 28/07/2024 17:29

This is who he was defending.

I'm not. I'm terrified of the right wing loonies like tommy and his disgusting mob!

https://resistinghate.org/yes-tommy-robinson-you-are-a-racist

just google him. There’s plenty of evidence out there. Here’s just one article

1: His membership of the BNP lasted ONE YEAR.
He attended ONE meeting, realised that their ethos of not allowing non-White people to join was wrong and never went to another meeting.
2: Yes, he co-founded the EDL, but, when he saw the direction the movement was heading, resigned.

The reason why there is such a furore over the video he screened yesterday, is that there was considerable evidence that the attack on the Syrian pupil was in response to his own bullying of white girls.
Evidence that was and is still being suppressed by the Authorities.

Wendycoping · 28/07/2024 17:36

Terrifying that there are actually people who don't think he's an ignorant, racist, narcissist, but there we are.

You see to know an awful lot about Tommeh-Ten-Names. Personal friend maybe?

He was banned from showing it by the courts...he showed it anyway.

Now how does the saying go....oh yeah....come to our country, obey our laws. Something I believe the Irish grifter citizen, living in Spain is very fond of telling others.

ArseholeCatIsABlackAndWhiteCat · 28/07/2024 17:44

@VeryOldMan there was no evidence. He showed his secret camera recordings in court as part of his "defence". He was still found guilty.

He admitted he posted fake stuff with a mea culpa of "ooops, how silly I am". The mother of one of the boy's supposed victims stated it was not him who attacked her.

The kid he defended, and ironically named, comes from a racist and violent family (mother found guilty, brother same). He had a history at the school for being a "trouble maker".

The furore is because he brought no real evidence in court and was found guilty of libel. He got an injunction on not making film because it makes the same unsubstantiated claims. He made it anyway , so he's due in court for contempt. Then he's shown it at the event yesterday, breaking the law yet again.

Women and girls know who you and Tommy are. Men who only give a shit about women's and girls' safety when it's about attacking someone else. It's because women and girls are property to you, white property. And those brown people are attacking your property. I would be utterly stunned if the boys who attacked that Syrian boy were doing anything to defend girls in the playground. Sitting with them, talking to them as humans, respecting them.

In DD's school lots of the white boys, black boys, Muslim boys all share the same shitty views and treat the girls like crap. There are very very few righteous boys and when DD talks about them, one has a stereotypical English name and one a stereotypical Muslim name.

White men need to stop talking about Muslim harassment of women and start naming the actual issue, male violence. MALE violence.

Nigel Farage used Tommy's following to get himself elected and has now dropped him like a hot potato. Nigel Farage was invited to speak at the rally yesterday but declined due to a 'another prior engagement'.
