How does filming in public break the law? It seems to me that the UK is a fascist state that is determined to persecute Mr Robinson.

@doug6352 He filmed in court. It is illegal. He had already been caught doing it and warned against it.

@doug6352 Tommy Robinson was filming people going into and out of a court of law, and posting that footage publically.

What is his purpose for doing so?

It is difficult to see any motive except a deliberate attempt to influence the court system by intimidation - and he has form doing exactly that.

Stop trying to claim that the intimidator is the victim.

@ToakReon If you Brits want to live in a fascist police state I suppose you are entitled. It is your country. Please release Mr Robinson so he can gain asylum in a civilized country. President Trump seems to have a talent for getting political prisoners released. Perhaps he can help in this case also.

@ToakReon RIGHT ON!

@doug6352 So it's fascist to prevent a fascist using intimidation to pervert the course of justice?

If you don't like 'fascist Britain' feel free to go elsewhere - but if you're in Britain you obey British law or face the consequences, as Tommy Robinson is doing.

How can it be racist: Islam is not a race!

@ToakReon Can you explain to me exactly what is fascist about Tommy Robinson, when what he stands for is free speech?

@ToakReon Tommy Robinson is a reporter. reporters report on things they think are important. Only in a fascist state should we tell reporters what they should and shouldn't report on. Do you agree?

@KenG Tommy Robinson is a founder of the English Defense League and European Defense League. He was a member of the British National Party and British Freedom Party. He chose as his pseudonym a prominent member of the 'Men In Black' football hooligan crew, of which he was also a member. He has multiple convictions, including assault and illegally travelling under a false identity. He expounds extreme right views and ignores the law of the land.

In short he's no more a 'reporter' than I am - he is a law-breating, hard-core right wing political activist and repeated law-breaker. That's a pretty good match for 'fascist' in my book.

@KenG He is NOT reporter. His a thug

@ToakReon Someone who reports for a media company is a reporter. You said he is a fascist. Can you explain to me what a fascist is and how he can be described as one?

@ToakReon, @Amisja A reporter is someone who reports

@KenG No - he is a deliberate stirrer. He does not 'report' ... he propagandises.

And he breaks the law - regularly and in varied ways. Of course, whether this occasion is another case of law breaking the courts will have to determine - but from his past performance, the likelihood is yes.

@ToakReon Toak he was recalled on licence.

@ToakReon He does report on things which fit his narrative, yes. But so do all media companies.

@KenG The difference is that Tommy Robinson actively seeks to promote intollerance - and he has already been found guilty of breach of the peace, and various cases of active violence.

@ToakReon He was drawing attention to pedophiles who had raped children. Do you support the pedophiles?

@KenG Oh - he was drawing attention to pedophiles, was he?

Perhaps you should look up Tommy Robinson's fellow member of the English Defense League - a man called Leigh McMillan. McMillan was convicted of repeated acts of systematic, pedophillic abuse of a 10-year-old girl. He was sentenced to 17 years in jail.

You know what? Tommy Robinson didn't encamp himself outside THAT pedophile trial, publicising it. I wonder why not ... perhaps it was because Leigh McMillan was white, and a fellow right-wing EDL activist.

So don't give me crap about him bringing attention to pedophiles - if the pedophile is white, he doesn't give a damn.

@ToakReon You don’t give a damn because these pedophiles are Muslim! You are a hypocrite, and by definition: a pedophile apologist.

‘Fellow member’? These pedophiles were Muslim. Do fellow members of the Muslim religion bare some burden for these pedophiles. Again: you’re a hypocrite.

Typical virtue signalling.

@KenG Grow up.

Hurling absurd accusations just because I dare to provide evidence that Tommy Robinson is not the 'pedophile exposing hero' you pretend he is?

Calling me a hypocrit because I have shown Tommy Robinson's hypocrisy?

Claiming I am a 'pedophile apologist' because I happen to mention how Tommy Robinson kept quiet about one of his own colleagues who was a pedophile?

Sorry - but the evidence of what type of man Tommy Robinson really is, is there for all to see. A matter of record and evidence and hard fact. If you choose not to open your eyes and see the reality, then that's entirely your choice. You have as much right to believe in 'Tommy Robinson the pedophile exposing hero' as you have to believe in the tooth fairy, or Father Christmas, or ogres living under bridges.

Don't expect rational people to believe you, though. They can read. They can research. They can find and see the truth, however much you may wish they couldn't. I don't need to tell them that truth - all I need to do is say "Look it up for yourself. Look at his criminal convictions. Look at the organisations he has belonged to, and what they stand for. Look how his attitude to pedophillia suddenly changes when the pedophile is a white, EDL supporter. Make up your OWN mind."

And they will Ken.

You would rather believe fairy-tales ... OK, that's your choice. I'll leave you in peace to enjoy them.

@ToakReon If you watch the videos above you will see what Tommy Robinson stands for. It's clear that he has a blemished record, and that some things in his past he is not proud of, but if you watch the videos you will hear out of his own mouth what he stands for.

He is proven to be not racist.
He believes in free speech (the opposite of Fascism).
He exposes the hypocrisy of the main stream media.

I honestly recommend you watch the videos before you comment further. Just be open to the possibility that you are mistaken.

@KenG As you are open to the possibility you are?

@ToakReon Yes, I’m always open to the possibility that I’m wrong. That’s why I like discussing things, looking at evidence presented by the opposing adversary, and make any necessary adjustments. I’ve been wrong before and I’m sure I will again.

That’s actually why it really frustrates me when others don’t.

@KenG So, Ken, there are two people - you and your 'opponent'.

You and your opponent do not agree. They will not shift their position to match yours, and you will not shift yours to match theirs - yet you declare you are 'always open to the possibility of being wrong' and that they are not open to that possibility because they are behaving in exactly the way that you are, yourself, behaving.

So how is YOUR unwillingness to shift to their position compatable with being 'open to the possibility of being wrong' but the fact they are unwilling to shift their position to match yours is a declaration of unwillingness to consider that same point?

@ToakReon Are you open to the possibility you’re wrong? You didn’t answer the question for some reason.

I said I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong. Obviously I will change my opinion if presented with enough evidence.

I am willing to shift my position. Did you not read my previous post?

@KenG Absolutely I'm open to the possibility that I'm wrong - but for me to be wrong Tommy Robinson's comparative silence on the matter of the pedophillia of his own, right-wing, white colleage would have to be explained - as would his repeated guilt on charges ranging from assault, through illegal travel, to fraud. As would his membership, indeed leadership, of organisations promoting racial intollerance.

Is that going to happen?

Most unlikely.

Tommy Robinson 'talks the talk' but by his ACTIONS do you know the man - and his actions speak volumes.

@ToakReon Can you point to anything he's said or done that is racist? If you can, then maybe it will change my mind.

@KenG Yes, I can.

He started and lead the EDL, which is inherently intollerant based on race, religious beliefs and origin.

He was involved in the development of Pegida UK - the UK branch of the German anti-ismamic organisation Pergida. He addressed Pegida himself, describing muslims as "fake refugees who have no intention of integration and no intention of assimilation".

@ToakReon So criticising a religion is racism? How on earth did you get to that conclusion?

Are you suggesting it's wrong to criticise a religion??!! And what's wrong with suggesting some Muslims are 'fake refugees'? Some are.

@KenG But he did not say SOME muslims are 'fake refugees' ... he made a blanket statement that to be a muslim IS to be a fake refugee.

Making blanket statements about a group of people, not based on what they actually do but based on the fact that they all happen to have some other characteristic (in this case their faith) in common is not a statement of truth, it's a statement of prejudice.

It's like saying 'black people are criminals' and claiming that black people in general should be assumed to be criminally inclined, just because some are.

Again 'the muslim faith can lead to evil behaviour' is a VERY different statement to saying 'muslims are evil'.

This is what Tommy Robinson does.

There is a gang of muslims who have been pedophillically abusing children - they're on trial, and rightly so. Yet what Tommy Robinson does it take that and play the 'ALL muslims are pedophiles' game - with the deliberate intention of whipping up hatred against ALL muslims, even those who are not pedophiles and are as opposed to pedophillia as every other decent person.

His motivation is not 'protecting children from pedophiles' - if it were, he would have been just as keen to 'protect' children from his own pedophile EDL colleague.

His motivation for his 'publicity' of this trial was to STIR UP HATRED against muslims IN GENERAL. The criminals were already in court - that job was done, and nothing more was required. His aim was to take the justified anger directed at those men, whip it up ever higher, and direct it indescriminately at ALL muslims and immigrants.

@ToakReon If you actually listened to his speech he makes it totally clear that he thinks most Muslims are perfectly fine upstanding people.

Listen to his speech above before you write any more: I implore you! ???

And please please please: Black people are a race. Islam is not a race. OMG ????

@KenG And you're claiming Tommy isn't stirring anti-immigrant intollerance with his 'reporting'?

@ToakReon Why do you keep doing this? I did not say that Tommy Robinson isn’t stirring up immigrant intolerance with his reporting. The more you mis quote me, the more I think you are actually just a troll. Are you for real? ??

@KenG Then what is his MOTIVATION for stirring up immigrant intollerance, other than being intollerant himself?

You say 'he isn't racist' but at the same time you accept that he is stirring up immigrant intollerance.

If you're not racist you have no motivation for stirring up immigrant intollerence - so the fact that he is doing so is, of itself, evidence of his racism.

You can't have it both ways, Ken. 'He is not racist' is incompatable with 'he is stirring up immigrant intollerance' ... so which of those two statements that you have made is untrue?

@KenG

What you say, Ken, is:-

YES he responds to white, right-wing pedophiles completely differently to the way he responds to muslim pedophiles - BUT NO, HE'S NOT RACIST!

YES he leads, establishes and actively promotes organisations like the EDL and Pegida UK that actively promote racial intolletance - BUT NO, HE'S NOT RACIST!

YES he personally stands outside a court, risking prejudicing the trial, for the specific purpuse of inciting intollerance against immigrants - BUT NO, HE IS NOT RACIST!

The latter parts of those statements do not work with the first parts. He acts like a racist, he promotes leads and supports racist organisations, he actively encourages intollerance baced on race and origin - therefore he is a racist. The evidence is all there, Ken. For the man who claims to be 'open to being wrong' you're strangely blind to it.

@ToakReon For the last time:

ISLAM IS NOT A RACE

Do you not understand the difference between a race and an idiology?????

OMG!! You are a troll aren't you, I've been had LOL

@KenG Tommy Robinson incites intollerance, he heads and establishes intollerant and racist organisations, his views on pedophillia vary depending on the race and political views of the pedophile ... and you cannot deny any of this because it's public record.

All you can to is play the 'Islam is not a race' card - which is quite true, but that doesn't stop prejudiced intollerance based on religion from being prejudiced intollerance.

And you hurl the term 'troll' because you have no other response - and add a 'LOL' because you hope this somehow deflects the truth.

Your claim that Tommy Robinson isn't racist and intollerant have been shown as bullshit. There are years of evidence of his racism, and of his intollerance of people 'not like him'.

I give up. If you want to live in a fantasy, believing fairy tales, do so. Those who base their views on the evidence will see your words for the nonsence they are.

Please feel free to continue talking rubbish, but I've had enough.

@ToakReon For the last time: I said Tommy Robinson is not racist. He is intolerant of Islam just like I am. I hate the Islamic ideology. I didn’t say he wasn’t intolerant of Islam.

He drew attention to the Muslim pedophiles that weren’t being reported on by our main stream media.

Show me one thing that he has ever said or written that is racist! You can't because there is nothing!

If you can’t point to anything that he has said or written that is racist then you are a troll as I suspected.
