The Treatment of Tommy Robinson by the media

Thursday the 27th of September 2018 sees the retrial of Tommy Robinson. The State needs to be aware that many in the UK and as importantly – in the few free countries around the world- will be watching .

politicised judges such as the one who gave him 13 months imprisonment knowing full well what the potential lethal consequences could be – must know their own wrongdoing .

Reasoned comments here please for such an important issue to our freedom

    I was heartened by the judge who overruled the vile decision by the original judge in the kangaroo court who jailed Tommy Robinson without even allowing him defence by his own lawyer.

    Let’s hope tomorrow will prove that British justice is still worthy of the name.

      Tootrue

      Having read the appeal judgement there was no way that the original ‘ judgement’ and the circumstances around it could have been allowed to stand – plus of course in the appeal there was proper representation .
      Worth watching the career of the original judge as well as young Rory – the Tory minister ultimately responsible for Prisons – who was responsible for transferring Mr Robinson to a prison full of Muslim vermin .

      Great interview from Katie Hopkins, the sort of thing that the BBC would never show. Instead they would show the picture like what G.W.F shows on their post.
      Total biased from the albeep. People who just listen to the one sided BBC and don’t listen to the rational, other side of the discussion are such a dumb ass brainwashed zombies. Look at all them trained zombies on that oppose Tommy march, they don’t have a rational brain cell left to see what harm is happening to this great country. The cons are now nearly as left wing as the labour!

      Good post TT. I expect in some ways “Home Secretary Javid” and friends probably consider themselves to be in a “wining ” situation. If Tommy gets murdered/dies or is broken in jail he then becomes a formidable warning to the rest of us of what we might expect if we too become too involved.
      The majority of the MSM are in their pockets and much of the remainder of the population are either uninterested or too terminally supine to do anything about what is happening .
      As Paul said “welcome to sharia compliant totalitarian Britain” The sickening thing is in lots of ways the big beards at the MCB have not really had to lift a finger as the legions of dhimmies in our midst seem to want to do all of the heavy lifting for them.

    I’m hoping there are enough supporters of Tommy Robinson that if these swamp dwellers send him back to prison, there will be consequences for them. I suspect there are enough of them to give Tommy as much money as he needs to fight them all the way to victory. I think resentment and anger have built up and won’t subside until justice is seen to be done – to the swamp dwellers.

    By the way what has happened to the Leeds rat posing as a judge? Any punishment coming his way? Of course not. Yet. But God works in his own ways and time and if I was him I’d be quaking in my judicial robes for what God might have in store for him.

    We would never have known about the ‘grooming’ gangs were it not for the EDL. He went onto Newsnight and said it outright to the palpable shock of Paxman – a typical champagne socialist who has probably never even met a working class person let alone visited where they live. It puts the Oldham riots in 2001 into context: one strongly suspects the cause of the unrest was the same issue.

    His book ‘Enemy of the State’ is terrifying. The whole might and fury of the state was thrown at him for daring to expose one massive lie which made the lives of the establishment so much easier; which they had worked so hard to conceal. It seems we live in a free country as long as we accept certain colossal lies. Challenge them and things can get very dark indeed.

    I have to be 100% honest with you, whether he goes back to prison today, or not, I think they’re fully intent on making an example of Tommy Robinson. He will be broken, one way, or another, with the intention of intimidating any of the rest of us who feel he might have a point, into keeping our heads down.

    Will it work? I am deeply sorry about it, but I think probably, yes. Oh, there will be some who’ll not take it supine, and credit to them, but they’ll be easy prey, or so ‘insignificant’ in the eyes of the authorities, that I don’t think they’ll be worried about dealing with them.

    Me? I’ve got a family who depend on me, until my children are grown and flown, I can’t get involved in taking on the authorities, and by the time my kids are independent I’ll just be another angry old man shouting into the wind. That’s the reality for most, isn’t it?

    He was a brave man, that Tommy Robinson, when you look at how and why he started down this path, he was naive (very), a young working class lad, but full of courage and a belief in the righteousness of what he was speaking up about. But, he was too bold, too outspoken, and …. too right (not right wing, right as in correct), and that’s going to cost him and his family dearly. Poor Tommy.

    Does anyone else remember the weapons inspector David Kelly? Have a feeling it’s always been thus, all the way down through history (Wat Tyler?). You disagree with the state too publicly, too loudly, and have a genuinely good point, and you will be silenced.

        I really hope I’m wrong and talking crap, it will be a great injustice if anything happens to him, and although many of us aren’t going to be taking to the streets (for whatever reason/s), we won’t forget, or forgive, either.

      It is only when people stand up to evil that lives can be saved.. An extreme case but I think it has a relevence here . Take the example of Boenhoffer the Christian pastor who vocally opposed Hitler’s euthanasia program ( Hitler was having killed mentally and physically disabled Germans) Thousands were murdered but due largely to Boenhoffer’s publicity to the programme it had to be halted for a time . Hitler couldn’t risk the population going against him at this critical time.

    The silencing is spreading to the web now – I think sites such as this one will disappear one day as either providers are threatened by taxes or prosecution or the free speech deniers move into power.

    You make agreeable points about the mistakes young people make in being too outspoken and thus labelled and dismissed .
    I guess mrs Tommy will encourage him to think of his family and the threats which the state police will ignore – if not encourage by non action .
    The state has decided he has no human rights and as you say will be crushed as a lesson to others . I, too, am just a keyboard warrior and am ready to admit it . But I try to do my bit – even if only a little bit – to slow down the poisoning and death of Blighty.

    Several years ago I did battle on an obscure blog frequented mostly by a handful of British leftists. I pointed out that rape is frequently used as a weapon of war – not only as an act of lust and to punish and humiliate the enemy civilian population, but also to potentially diminish it demographically.

    It’s quite evident that Pakistani Muslims, who have no intention of integrating into British society, have been using this weapon of war against young British girls while the establishment, to its eternal shame, not only turned a blind eye to the mass rape but connived with the rapists against these vulnerable children and their families.

    I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for all those in the establishment who enabled this war against their own citizens.

    Ezra’s key tweet
    The judge now refers to a future date for a “substantive hearing”. So that makes it clear: the main hearing will not happen today. Today is a planning/procedural day. Not the main trial.

    The judge thinks that will be Oct. 23rd. Just to clarify: that would be for the main substantive hearing, on whether or not Tommy Robinson was in contempt, back in May, in Leeds. Five months earlier.

    So judge turns up says we are gonna have a delay and then in a few weeks a proper trial.
    Then asks Tommy’s lawyer when he’s free.

    The press tweet ‘
    eg this one from A Kennedy family member in America
    \\ @EmmaKennedy tweeted
    Adjourned at defence’s request.
    They say they’re not ready. This is quite surprising.//

      Whatever the reasons, the independence of judiciary and that law is blind is blown out the water.

      The crowds doubtless helped, but not kicking off as hoped threw a spanner. The Daily Mirror tried a stir by captioning a photo of TR as ‘smirking’. The bbc is known to do this too to push events. All goes pear shaped and #honestmistake makes it all go away.

      Given protest presence at such things is during working hours, maybe they are also trying to exhaust supporter reserves leaving paid state officers and Antifa soap dodgers to be filmed by scores of bbc ‘reporters’?

      Yes, good point about the Tory Conference. They will have their hands cut out with Corbyn’s thugs trying to intimidate the delegates. But if Tommy’s supporters were there it might be too much.
      Another thought that crossed my mind is that the judge has not fully accepted Javid Savid’s sharia led argument and wants to cover his back.

    Interesting comment on TR’s website
    Tommy, please don’t take this the wrong way. You might not realise it but your use of the yoof speak affectation in which the ‘tee’ sound in words is not pronounced really does make you sound, to many people, like a yobbo. I know it’s just prejudice but it’s something you need to deal with if you are going to maximise the efficiency of your campaign. I’m not talking about a regional accent here (there’s nothing wrong with regional accents; you should hear mine) I’m talking about the ‘yoofspeak’ affectation that now covers the whole country and is overlaid onto all regional accents. It isn’t an accent itself; it’s an affectation — a fashion thing — that to many people immediately identifies the speaker as a member of an uneducated group of young people. Yes, that’s prejudice, but prejudice is a fact of life and if you can avoid it you should for the sake of your campaign. ‘Yoofspeak’ just makes you sound stupid. So please for the sake of Britain avoid ‘universi—iy’; say ‘university. Don’t say ‘diversi—y’, say ‘diversity’. Watching the first few minutes of your Katie Hopkins interview you say ‘nine-een eyi two’ instead of nineteen eighty-two, ‘thir-y five’ for thirty five, ‘fer-iliser’ for fertiliser, ‘terroris atroci-ies’ for terrorist atrocities, and so on. If you can manage to drop this bad speech you will gain immeasurably in credibility (not ‘credibili-y!) amongst many people who want to support you. Instead of sounding like an uneducated member of the herd you will sound like someone worth listening to. Listen to people on TV and radio. The authoritative voices, the ones people instinctively respect, pronounce their words fully, including the ‘r’ sound. Please note that I am not taking the piss out of your working class origins; I have such origins myself. My only concern is for the success of your campaign. I am deeply aware of the sensibilities of the middle Englanders and people in the older age groups. If you are to succeed you must carry these people with you. The way to do that is to sound like an intelligent working class person. That means speaking like a grown up.
    Best wishes.

        My first impression of Tommy Robinson was that he was a ‘semi-literate, far right, racist thug with a silly name’, but then the BBC told me to think that.

        He has suffered from just about as much muck slinging as the MSM could hurl, and yet… here we all are, still listening to what he has to say. He is working class, he probably isn’t very well educated, he is of ‘Northern’ origin… so what? His message is clear and he speaks with fire in his belly, because he believes sincerely in what he says. He’s actually a better speaker and leader than most in our political class, despite their ‘education’ at Eton and Oxbridge, simply because he is genuine.

        Now, if Tommy Robinson was leader of the Labour party… the question perhaps should be, why isn’t someone like him leader of the Labour party?!

              But would it be in the public interest to prosecute ?
              You’d have to charge the person who filmed and then prove they did and that not just leant their friend their phone.

              And from a practical point is the footage different from that taken from a legal position ?
              The crowd were obviously so loud that they could be heard from inside that window, TR could have gone downstairs crossed the road gone up that non-court building and the filmer filmed him talking there and the footage would be the same.
              It’s not like the footage shows judges or proceedings etc.

              I accept if this footage was on court precincts then someone did break court rules.. but a wise authority would just give a warning rather than seek prosecution. An attempt at prosecution when so many other more serious offences are not prosecuted would look ridiculous.

              In Leeds someone filmed from the street across to the window where the judge looking down on Tommy
              There was no attempt to prosecute this.. of course not,

                That window footage is no longer on TRs FB page
                #1 It was a TR team mistake ..and should be apologised for.
                But it comes after 100 mistakes by the state.
                The last of which was to bring Tommy to court today and then cancel today on the grounds that otherwise it might prejudice the Leeds Rape trial part 2..
                #2 The press had lied about the size of the crowds putting at dozens of hundreds, so it is in the public interest to have footage of that 1,500. proving the press wrong

                The state can’t make 100 mistakes and then jump on one tiny mistake by team Tommy.

                  The CourtNewsUK photographer has done a photo looking up INTO the window and TR
                  So it would be a bit weird to say a photo INTO the precincts is OK
                  But a photo looking OUT is not OK

                  Someone else pointed what if TR was in the building nextdoor to the court, you’d get the same images.

                    Ezra Levant took the said photo. He flew from Canada to give an honest report of the trial as we cannot trust the UK media.

                    The photo might be cited to prevent him arriving in the UK to cover the next trial.

                In this video Ezra explains the day Yes from minute 2:45 It seems after the court Ezra is with the lawyers in the cafe who are debriefing Tommy. Then after that Ezra overcome with the amazing crowd outside calls TR over .. “look at this” as you would. And since you are in a cafe you’d think nothing of just whipping your phone out and videoing that scene.
                It wouldn’t occur to you at that moment ‘oh hang on this cafe is in a court building so I am not allowed to show people what I can see out of the window’
                I quote
                \\ another month and I mean I’m not complaining it was a long flight here and go home seven hours each way for 20 minutes in court that’s a little bit crazy
                but actually what happened in court has made less of an impression on me than the amazing support on the street
                I don’t know if you can even hear it there’s still now hours later hundreds of people singing Tommy Robinson chants there was a moment after court where Tommy and his lawyers were debriefing in the cafeteria in the court
                and I went up there and I just got a bottle of water and let the lawyers have their chance to talk to Tommy privately
                So I just went to the window to look down at the crowd and when I pulled back the blinds the crowd saw me and maybe they recognized me or maybe they saw that it was someone with Tommy’s ….
                and the chant came up Oh Tommy Tommy
                and I was just up there and to look down I felt a you know one degree of separation the deep love that Tommy has amongst the British people
                And when he was done conferring with his lawyers I said Tommy come to the window and just look down
                And I had my iphone camera out and I just showed Tommy looking down and they could see him because it was only a couple of stories up that was a very interesting moment for me it showed the deep connection that Tommy has
                I earlier compared Tommy’s reception to that of a rock star but that’s not accurate,
                because rock stars come and go the affection towards rock stars is usually shallow and ephemeral and fashionable it’s light hearted it’s it’s of the moment
                but I believe that the people who are here for Tommy are deeply committed deeply informed about the matter and have a level of engagement that no rock star has //
                and it’s very interesting and Tommy I think really respects and appreciates that
                because for one thing it’s the public that has crowdfunded his legal fees and that’s the save Tommy dot-com crowdfund we have another smaller crowd fund just to fly me back and forth.//

                Surely a responsible judge would say ‘ah yes, I can see how you got caught up in the emotion, and no harm’s been done so let’s move onto the important stuff’

But this idea may be time limited because as Muslims become more numerous they will form their own party and push Labour into becoming more and more Islamophilic, see Corbyn right now, which will alienate the indigenous Brits.

    The most recent Census in 2011 highlights that in England and Wales, 80 per cent of the population were white British. Asian (Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, other) ‘groups’ made up 6.8 per cent of the population; black groups 3.4 per cent; Chinese groups 0.7 cent,Arab groups 0.4 per cent and other groups 0.6 per cent.

    overwhelming majority in our country

    According to the 2011 Census, Christianity is the majority religion, followed by Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism and Buddhism in terms of number of adherents. Among Christians, Anglicans are the most common denomination, followed by the Catholics, Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists.

    overwhelming majority in our country

    In 2016, around 2% of the population identified themselves as lesbian, gay or bisexual (LGB). This has increased from 1.7% in 2015 (a statistically significant increase). London had the largest proportion of the population who identified as LGB (2.7%), which could be associated with a relatively young and diverse population.”

    overwhelming majority in our country

    General Facts and Figures: In Britain over 10 million people have a limiting long term illness, impairment or disability – this is over 18 per cent of the population. The most common types of impairment for adults in Britain are those associated with a difficulty in mobility, lifting and carrying.

    I see from the screenshot by by eminent colleague Roland Deschain upthread that a photo is regarded as taken in court if it is taken within the precincts of the court building.

    Does this mean then that if I take a photo of a friend while standing outside a court building I have taken it in court? And would it be regarded as taken in court even if the court building did not feature in the photo?

    I can’t help being reminded of the horrific case of the Iranian-Canadian photographer Zahra Kazemi, raped and tortured to death for taking photos of family members of prisoners outside the notorious Evin prison and then exposing the film to the light when an official demanded she hand her camera over.

    Given the total disregard of the human rights of Tommy Robinson at the hands of the establishment, as he was sentenced and jailed without access to his lawyer, moved to a Muslim-filled prison where he was likely to be murdered and then shoved into solitary confinement for his ‘safety,’ one wonders how far Britain has now shifted from a civilized democracy towards a state like Iran, which terrorises its own citizens.

      My comments on the above discussion were wiped out. I will try again.

      Here is a new angle on discussions about the evil far far far right fascist Tommy Robinson.
      Apparently, as in the above video, the left must carry blame because they have hushed up discussion about the grooming gangs and terror, so that the discussion has been taken up by the far far right fascists like TR in order to advance their far far right fascist agenda.

      There is a circular argument here which presupposes that TR and supporters have a far far right agenda other than objections to the grooming gangs and terror including the origin of these activities. So it would be helpful if we could be told exactly what is the additional agenda.

      Adding to this crap in the video is Brendan O’Neil of Spiked, which is allegedly committed to absolute freedom of speech. But Spiked operates censorship akin to the BBC’s HYS, which is not aimed at abuse, but rather what does not fit in with Spiked’s agenda.

      Nice one Brendan, part of the establishment now, earnings from the BBC along with the other pro Islamic lefties.

    That favourite member of the National Union of Journalists one Owen Jones has penned a Column in the BBC comic saying that the rise of the ( Far) Right is the media’s fault because it shouldn’t have given publicity and implied legitimacy .

    In Jones world the only permissible public comments are those which comply with his view. Every thing else is. “Far” something .

    By preventing the publication of contrary views things will be better —according to Master Jones -a 34 year old kidult .

    So – no free speech – no listening to alternative views of the world . Does that remind you of anything ?

    Jones is a child of the 80s a frightening view of our future – in his world this site and my comment – this comment – would cease to be -exterminated – for all the best reasons of course -as those who run those extermination camps would have said .

        Thanks, up2. Having just watched the 7pm news on Channel 4, I suppose all one can say is MSM remain MSM. Kylie on Channel 4 spun out every bit as biased a narrative as the beeb on the Kavanaugh issue. Sopel has competition.
        So I’m wondering about Channel 4 as well.
        Such an utterly transparent a move as the Dems are trying to pull off, should be called out by every channel. Instead we get the same old dishonest story everywhere.
        Sleazebag Clinton got away with the Lewinski business, cos (I seem to remember) the Dems had the majority in the SC. Now they haven’t, so anything to get at Trump some other way.
        I’m not even commenting on whether Blasey Ford is telling the truth or not, and I’m not a great Trump fan, as far as the person goes. (His policies are A1 though; he gets it).

That is the text-book definition of a fascist, particularly a nazi.

    It also distinguishes him from the fake reporters that occupy the hive that is the far-left bbc.

    I gather from ‘compact-online.de’ that their venue for a conference on border security in Munich tomorrow is sold out. A certain well-known British guest (relevant here) has been invited to speak. There is a livestream on their Facebook site, they say.
    If you have a little German, may be worth a visit. And the guest of honor will certainly be speaking English.
    The hotel host suddenly cancelled at the last moment -a well rehearsed trick by cowards- but a better venue was instantly found.
    Beware though, there will be AfD people present. Mrs Merkel assures us they’re all neonazis. Democratically elected, but nevertheless, Mutti KNOWS. So many people around who only pretend to like democracy…
    Footnote: I notice their latest hard print issue covers the subject of ‘Hate Media’, subtitle: ‘Journalists as mob for the regime’. Nuff said.

    Tommy crowned European patriot.

    Pile them on Tommy, and all those mealy mouthed cowards on the so called right, might have the guts to come out in your support. Hear that Melanie Phillips, Brendan O’Neil, Brillo and al bin Hartley Brewer.

    Thank you GWF. All readers here: if you have a little German, always have a look at ‘compact-online’. The only German paper/site that has any honesty and doesn’t crawl up Merkel’s b…..! The border conference is being live streamed on the compact site.
    If you don’t, this group are worth learning some German for.
    ‘Die Welt’, FAZ, etc are described as conservative, but they’re about as conservative as the CDU. The ‘Sueddeutsche Zeitung’ is very like the Guardian, so useful only if you run out of loo paper. Sometimes they are available in English. But you will get beeb-type bias from all of them. (Not so their commentators, who solidly give them hell, when they do have the courage to open for comment. The editors still don’t get the message. Or pretend not to. ‘Die Welt’ has the courage to run frequent surveys; they can count on an 80% conservative outcome, no matter what the issue, frequently with hundreds of thousands of respondents.)
