Basically that idiot Batten has invited Yaxley-Lennon, notorious jailbird, as an adviser on grooming gangs and, of all things, prisons. If it's not the end, I guess it will just morph into EDL-lite and disappear up its own backside.

I'm so upset.. I've never spoken to anyone so naive before I'm going to lost without your insight Confused

UnknownStuntman · 24/11/2018 15:46

Surfer, that's a perfectly valid point. However does anybody think SYL is actually against child abuse, or just islamophobic?

He's never come out and said something like, "look my mates are predatory paedophiles and their behaviour is abhorrent. But as white christian people are getting charged and convicted, people look the other way when it's others, so I want to ensure everybody gets convicted for what they do", then I'd have had some sympathy. Putting trials at risk so they may end up free is absolutely ridiculous and anyone who supports either them or UKIP deserves all the abuse their (b)latent racism gets them.

Now you see I'm not very keen on child grooming gangs if that makes me a cunt then fair enough

There's absolutely nothing wrong with hating child grooming gangs, but everything wrong with extending that hatred to the whole community that some grooming gangs come from.

Gilead · 24/11/2018 17:56

Thanks sonly it’s arses like you that make some people scared to go out. My dd has been called names in public because people like you support wife beaters who try to fuck up trials for attention.

sonlypuppyfat · 24/11/2018 18:26

Where on earth you get wife beaters from? They are just as bad as paedophiles

UnknownStuntman · 24/11/2018 19:01

I know I'm breaking my own rule here, but you've explicitly stated you'd vote for a wife beater to be fucking Prime Minister in this very thread you racist cockwomble.

Dear Lord, there should be an IQ test before people should be allowed to access the internet, never mind pro-create.

Gilead · 24/11/2018 19:04

Where on earth you get wife beaters from? They are just as bad as paedophiles
That would be one of Stephen Yaxley Lennon’s convictions, so why are you supporting him?

Momasita · 24/11/2018 20:50

Sorry did I read that right? I thought garage was nasty racist right wing scum who would love this guy to join ukip?

Miscible · 25/11/2018 08:24

I've listened to what Robinson/Yaxley-Lennon says, sonly. That's why I know it's a tissue of lies and bigotry.

No , I'm sorry you are wrong

BlancheM · 25/11/2018 08:50

Yes, that's right, sonly, the UK criminal justice system is wrong, TR's past history doesn't actually exist, he didn't jeopardise abuse trials putting victims in further distress, it's all wrong wrong wrong and you are correct.

GrammarTeacher · 25/11/2018 08:54

TR has not exposed ANY grooming gangs. He turns up at the trial. Shouts a bit. And puts trials at risk. The fact these people are on trial demonstrates it doesn't need exposing. It has already been exposed!
He is a violent thug whose chosen alias is that of a 'famous' football hooligan.
He is a poor excuse for a human.
I find it disgusting given his conviction for violence against women that anyone on Mumsnet would support him. And that's before exploring the fact that he's racist.

My prime minister said we'd leave the EU that's a lie. So don't tell me Tommy Robinson is a liar

Are you living in an alternate universe?! Leaving the EU seems to be taking up 90%+ of what TM is doing! She triggered Article 50 and has just concluded negotiations on the exit agreement.

You may not like the ‘divorce’ agreement (I don’t really either) but that doesn’t mean we are leaving the EU.

Oakenbeach · 25/11/2018 09:53

we aren’t leaving

WhatdoImean · 25/11/2018 09:55

White grooming gangs are as equally despicable of course, but the authorities wouldnt be scared to act.

Hmmmm - sort of.. you know... not wanting to punish the clergy? Not investigating them, because of cultural sensitivity?

Sometimes, I really despair of people. It becomes increasingly obvious that they have a point of view that they find "facts" to support.. and that is it. Nothing, NOTHING, not even reality will shift them off it....

ilovesooty · 25/11/2018 12:26

And sadly those are the kinds of people Y-L gets his support from. And there are unfortunately plenty of these sheep about.

Tommy Robinson is a liar

ilovesooty · 25/11/2018 12:48

A liar, a thug and a criminal.

Patroclus · 25/11/2018 22:54

ohhh now weve got the middle class earnest social worker type telling us we should understand and give sympathy to the poor racists, having to live in the same world as the rest of us, and apparantly Asian people have only just appeared in Bradford. Full house in bigot bingo.

Gilead · 25/11/2018 23:00

It’s a recording Mr. Yaxley Lennon accidentally released last week of him abusing his girlfriend.

Patroclus · 25/11/2018 23:03

And yes, Tommy Churchillsmithbulldog-Pint Robinson has a conviction for assauting an off duty police officer, who intervened whlst he was beating up his fiance (now wife)

ilovesooty · 25/11/2018 23:10

You have to wonder why his wife married him.
