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 ?

I absolutely agree, OP. Guilty of wrongthink, it's frightening.

@happydappy2 what do you mean ‘if they can arrest him they can arrest any of us’? Last time I checked most of us weren’t inciting racist attacks or fostering domestic terrorists, like your man Stephen Yaxley-Lennon does (just assuming here you don’t realise that he calls himself Tommy Robinson because his real name sounds too posh).

Far right and white supremacist terrorism is growing faster than Islamist terrorism in this country. People like him are significant enablers and radicalisers. Source: my job which includes counter terrorism.

You're joking right? Islamist terrorism in this country has never been on such high alert. Multiculturism doesn’t work when one set of people do not want to adapt to the culture of the country they choose to live in. It’s very dangerous to spin this narrative when most of us know that people are being groomed to rise up against anyone and anything that doesn’t align with their beliefs. It’s a very dangerous and unpredictable world we currently live in.

Curious, I haven't looked, is Tommy campaigning against the foreign child rapist currently at the olympics?

Guilty of made up think and speech actually.

You can say the same about far right white terrorism..........

Why did the document said he was Irish when he was arrested in Canada?

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

No, I have never met him other than viewing him from several yards distance at the Brexit Betrayal March in December 2018.

Don't be silly. He's the wrong colour for r tommeh to have any interest. Honestly are people genuinely defending this cunt?

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.

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.

This. Even Bailey admits that he did what he did because Jamal allegedly swore at him and called him names and that someone told him Jamal threatened him.

No mention of the so called attacks on girls or that being the motivation and he was part of whatshisface's defence.

Yet you have a curiously detailed account of which racist groups he joined and the reasons he claimed to have left them. How... peculiar.

Because he's such a committed "British Patriot" that he went and got Irish citizenship so he can spend most of his time living in Spain.

I don't think he is just yet. Shockingly. He probably evaluated the situation with detailed metrics though.

How do you feel about this upstanding guardian of right and freedom, S Y-L's conviction for an attack on a serving police officer, @VeryOldMan?

He's a fascist, racist shyster and anyone who buys his garbage is the same, or at the very best deluded fools.

Patriot indeed. 😁
Don't we see the pattern? Didn't someone apply for German citizenship after supporting Brexit?

MrsTerryPratchett · 28/07/2024 18:10

Informative meme @Middlepart and I suspect exactly what happens. The child rapist at the Olympics looks like a very very white nice young man.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 28/07/2024 17:16

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

He's also happy to associate himself with convicted child sex offenders, but they were white so it's perfectly acceptable.

waltzingparrot · 28/07/2024 18:15

Not someone I've ever given headspace to before, but I watched him being interviewed by Jordan Peterson and it was an eye opener in several ways. He was quoting points raised in official reports that highlight some very worrying behaviour by our police and judicial systems. It does need investigating.

Eleanorshelstrop · 28/07/2024 18:15

Good. He’s an awful racist idiot.

I can just imagine your response if a muslim cleric, who had been found guilt of libel against SYL, had been arrested for continuing to spout lies about him.

It's very revealing that those who rant and rave about "upholding British values" are very happy to overlook them if it's someone they like being held to account.

Eleanorshelstrop · 28/07/2024 18:18

TakeMe2Insanity · 28/07/2024 15:49

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.

Exactly. He’s fine with rapists and paedophiles as long as they’re white and preferably also racist. He doesn’t give a sh*t about anything except inciting racial hatred.

Can you?
Tell me then, where have the Right Wing terrorist attacks in the UK occurred?
Ironically, regarding non-Islamic attacks on the Mainland, several bombings ascribed to the IRA/INLA, Warrington being a prime example, are thought to have actually been carried out by a Left Wing extremist group on behalf of the Republicans.

Not really.
I do something called "research" which, unlike many others, includes looking at evidence that I do not like and judging it's value based on what I already know and my own experience.

For example, whilst I support the general drive of TR-SY-L's campaigns, that support is tempered by the allegations he may, certainly in the past, have been a drug abuser.
To me that possibility is a huge black mark against him.

Well done.
Unfortunately many people, including I suspect more than a few commentating on this thread, are so emotionally tied up with their opinions that contrary opinions and evidence are taken as a personal insult.
