To think what happened to Tommy Robinson was wrong

In that the press were not allowed to report on the original grooming trial and the secondary trial of his for contempt of court.

Surely these press bans should only be used for issues of national security like terrorism.

His actions could’ve cost a mistrial. The defendants could’ve walked free because of it.

Honestly, it’s not rocket science.

Tommy Robinson was wrong. Going to jail was the right punishment. He put at risk not just this trial, but other linked trials.

Have you ever been in the position of waiting to go to court to give evidence of abuse daddypig? Let me tell you that it is a hellish place to be. Months and months of your life gone, while you replay everything in your head, all the while feeling like a puppet of the justice system and your abuser. Because nothing is in your control. Tommy Robinson could have made that he'll so much longer, or all for naught for those victims. He wasn't "reporting", he wasn't helping anyone but himself.

alternatively you could agree that all religion is man made and all religion puts women in second place! I'm not religious, I think its all bollox. We are here, theres lots of ideas of how and why but its all guess work. Back to the point of the thread. Yes Tommy Robinson deserved to go to jail, he broke the law, but I still agree he has a point when it comes to multi culturalism. The west kind of made progress with womens rights, work in progress, but if anyone denies, putting two opposing cultures side by side with totally different beliefs will not cause problems, or thinks those problems are not important, needs to have a look in the mirror. Working class girls, fuck skin tone are being exploited please hear us. Fuck political correctness, we are human, we are being raped, we are all skin tones, mainly white, because its a fucking white country, but we are all poor. The reason I hate identity poilitcs is it distracts everyone from the biggest inequality of all. Wealth.

bollox, tommy is a human being with thoughts that represent a lot of people, listen.

JustABrokenDoll · 02/06/2018 00:10

bollox, tommy is a human being with thoughts that represent a lot of people, listen.

Well those people are as fucking stupid as him then.

Nobody with an ounce of decency would support someone who beats women and has a string of convictions for assault and fraud.

corythatwas · 02/06/2018 00:11

and the progress Tommy Robinson made when it came to women's rights was in the direction of HM prison, having kicked the officer who tried to shield his girlfriend from his assault in the head

what a champion for women's safety!

AndIWouldWalk500Yards · 02/06/2018 00:12

Yeah daddy very funny. Whatever. I’m in a very senior role in a UK based organisation. I don’t care what you think. I’ll do my job, you do yours.

daddypigsnoexpert · 02/06/2018 00:17

ok. Be happy, good luck, I wish you all well :)

corythatwas · 02/06/2018 00:20

"alternatively you could agree that all religion is man made and all religion puts women in second place!"

So why don't you jump to the conclusion that everybody who has been brought up a Christian or attended a Christian school is a misogynist arsehole? Seeing that you are quite happy to invite me to do that about Muslims, just from directing me to the Quran, which you admit is no different from the Bible in that respect?

Personally, I tend to look at how actual people actually behave. Now somebody who goes to jail for a violent attack on a woman- yes, absolutely couldn't agree more: they're people we could do without.

greenvalleys · 02/06/2018 00:21

Hope the vile rape gangs get the sentence they deserve, absolutely sickening.

JustABrokenDoll · 02/06/2018 00:23

all religion puts women in second place!

Excepts Sikhs.

"The role of women in Sikhism is outlined in the Sikh scriptures, which state that women are equal to men."

Maybe some more but that's the one that springs to mind.

Obviously some much worse than others.

Here's a website address for another point of view for those who are interested in looking at the bigger picture. Sorry, it didn't come up as a direct link.

Oh, it did!!!

@quizqueen

If you think that link is worth anything you are a fucking moron.

The opening line is hilarious.

I know you can read because you posted. Do you enjoy looking thick?

JustABrokenDoll · 02/06/2018 00:44

mortgage fraud though...hang him??

Interesting that you picked up on probably his most minor crime to highlight.

Nothing to say about his two convictions for assault, one of which that involved beating his girlfriend?

Nothing to say about his two convictions for contempt of court and potentially putting trials at risk and the victims not getting justice?

Nothing to say about his conviction for football hooliganism?

Tommy has groomed you well Smile

Tessliketrees · 02/06/2018 00:45

@JustABrokenDoll

I liked that he seemed to think fucking a pigs head is an obviously greater crime.

vodkaredbullgirl · 02/06/2018 00:51

he got what he deserved

Whattheactualfuckmate · 02/06/2018 00:57

Honestly who give a flying fuck if he broke the law reporting this. I know many that don’t

He is highlighting a very real problem of a majority of Pakistani men grooming and raping young white girls.

Yes he may have racist links BUT it’s still a problem!

This is what it’s come down to as no one is prepared to speak about it apart from Maajid Nawaz, who gets massively overlooked

JustABrokenDoll · 02/06/2018 00:59

@Tessliketrees

Quite sad really but I wouldn't expect better from at TR apologist.

TR actually defended a member of the EDL who was convicted of child sexual abuse, claimed he was a "political prisoner"

"Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, backed the group’s founder member Richard Price, 41, after he was convicted of child porn charges."

The Far Right have a history of child abuse:

Richard Price: On the sex offenders register. Price admitted four counts of making indecent images of children and two charges of possessing cocaine. Price was one of the founding members of the English Defence League. When he was convicted, EDL Leadershiip tried to cover it up after former leader, Tommy Robinson described him as a 'political prisoner'.

Michael Coates AKA Micky Blue Eyes NW Infidels: Charged with two attempted rapes and other sex offences. He is currently in prison for smashing his neighbours car and setting fire to it for reporting him for drugs, excessive drinking and loud music. Due to the fact he has access to his young daughter social services were brought in and they have inform her mother that he has 14 pervious charges for sexual offences and has been using four different surnames in order to keep this from coming out.

Brett Moses EDL Hull: 12-month prison sentence for sexual grooming. Brett flew over to Canada to meet an 13 year old girl he groomed on the internet

Matthew Woodward, Deeside EDL: Convicted with child pornography offences and soliciting a 13 year old for pornographic photographs.

Alan Thomas Ellis, Deeside EDL: convicted of sending texts of a sexual nature to a 14 year old girl.

Archie Sleman, EDL : Kidnapping and sexually abusing 10-year-old girl who he raped in a caravan. Sleaman was active in the EDL and ran their Knight templar Division.

Stephen Payne SDL supporter: convicted of grooming a 13 year old.

Nigel Hesmondalgh, BNP: Jailed for possessing a series of degrading photos and videos of children.

Liam Pinkham NWI who condemned himself by admitting to grooming a 15 year old.

Micheal Cowen National Front: National Front member Cowen contacted paedophiles on social networking sites and said how he wanted to film himself killing a child. Police raided his home after intercepting extremist CDs by racist rock groups. They found a Nazi shrine with swastikas, an SS flag and a container of Zyklon B – used to kill millions of Jews in Nazi death camps.

Martin Gilleard National Front: At the opening of his trial at Leeds Crown Court, Gilleard admitted 10 counts of child pornography offences. Officers had discovered more than 39,000 indecent images of children on his computer.

One of the latest examples:

Really just or is it you that’s been groomed?
