I couldn't find a thread on this breaking news. How awful for everyone involved.

Not sure about that - what will anyone on MN have to post or link to when he's kicking his heels in prison

I'm sure they will find a way, this thread has been completely derailed by it

As are you.

As am I what? I don’t even read the stuff people are linking.

Sweet

We had an Anglican priest at our counter protest who was there to support anti racism but also made comment on ethno Christianity as not really following Jesus’ teaching.

It seems that the go to response to those who will not openly criticise Danny Tommo, also known as Daniel Thomas, is "I wouldn't know. Only see him talked about on here."

Especially with certain posters on Mumsnet. Here's a reminder.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq0lr5r46z5jo

Why should I openly criticise someone on here just to please you. There's lots of people I don't openly criticise on here. Or are you saying that if you post something on here about TD, if people don't then say what an awful man he is it means they support him? It's all getting rather silly now. Stop giving the man attention.

This thread has been de-railed by lots and lots of irrelevant material - only a small part of that has been about Tommo

In fact hardly any of this thread has been on 'topic'

Well he will be out of it now for a while and hopefully without him.egging them on his supporters might stop abusing the RNLI and harassing innocent people in parks etc.

I hope so - but he came up through Mr Stephen Yaxley Lennon’s ranks - they will be looking for a replacement I should imagine.

It’s really good news that folk endangering life at sea are dealt with appropriately though.

Yep the headlines are clear so I don’t bother clicking on it. Any attention on the internet earns someone money, likely the case for the person you’re reading about, linking and clicking articles on.

Danny Tommo has a huge following and has already set up a go fund me account.

Perhaps giving information about his criminal background will deter those thinking of funding him.

Which is a good idea, do you agree?

The thread was derailed from its original subject pages ago, and not by people discussing Thomas.

I can't really answer your hypothetical question.
They were staying with a well-off Italian couple who were good friends with the other couple. One person in the English group was fluent in Italian and a frequent traveller to Italy.
I assume that something would have been organised by phone until the bill could be paid with the travel insurance. So it isn't really a comparable situation.

You're right it wasn't a comparable situation to a lonely refugee who didn't have access to a wealthy friend. You're so close to getting it.

The BBC link earns revenue for Tommo? Well I never.

Well good luck with that. Usually the opposite happens for people no matter their background and increased awareness is followed by money.

There's some bizarre opinions expressed about the BBC on MN - but this must be one of the strangest ever!

So you are suggesting that despite knowing that he has a vicious criminal background, people will still fund him?

This is in the flavour of the original post. No matter what the outcome is, as in all five men are now out on bail, people will continue to think that it's all a conspiracy.

Barrels of red diesel were found in the vans.

On this thread the scrapping of barrels is loud and clear with some posters.

To the pp on affiliated links it was your post not mine.

Well yeh they know already. But advertising his gofundme will probably see it go up even more.

I read this morning that a foreign actor was involved. I said last night they could be making a new James Bond film as one of my conspiracy theories.

Where have I specifically advertised his go fund me via a link?

Are you suggesting that I am a supporter of Danny?

The more people talk about the gofundme the more people will know about it and fund it. It’s obviously working so far since it’s been set up and he’s made something, no idea how much.
