Tommy Robinson In Ireland

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like our Tommy has got himself a new cause. As immigration and Mr Yaxley Lennon seem to be popular threads, this should blow some peoples minds:

What do you want me to answer?

[sunny-dave]

Just for some context ... the 'journalist' that some on here are so quick to defend hjas multiple convictions for fraud, violence and abusive behaviour.

"" His criminal record includes violence, financial and immigration frauds, drug possession, public order offences and contempt of court.

ASSAULT:

In 2005, Robinson was convicted of assaulting an off-duty police officer after he intervened to protect Robinson’s girlfriend from him.

He was jailed for 12 months.

In 2011, he was given a 12-week jail sentence – suspended for 12 months – for headbutting a man in Blackburn.

FALSE IDENTITY:

In 2012, Robinson was charged with using false travel documents after entering the US illegally by using a passport with the name Andrew McMaster.

A judge told him at the time: ‘What you did went absolutely to the heart of the immigration controls that the US are entitled to have. It’s not in any sense trivial.’

Robinson was jailed for 10 months and released on electronic tag on February 22, 2013.

FRAUD:

In 2012, Robinson was charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by misrepresentation in relation to a mortgage application.

He pleaded guilty to two charges and was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

CONTEMPT OF COURT:

In 2017, Robinson received a suspended sentence for putting a trial at Canterbury Crown Court at risk of collapse – after he broadcast statements from inside the court building.

In 2018, he was jailed for a similar offence at Leeds Crown Court. However, he was released after successfully challenging the court’s sentencing procedure.

In 2019, the attorney general decided that it was in the public interest to bring further proceedings against Robinson.

On July 11, he was given a nine-month jail sentence.""


I think that he has forfeited his right to be handled with kid gloves in an online forum.

Anyone who thinks that he is in Ireland for any reason other than to massage his own ego and foment hatred wants their bumps felt.

TR is a nasty piece of work and the world would be a better place without him.

Sorry about the random blank post at the end of the previous page - gremlins in the machine.

Tommy Robinson is a journalist as Hitler was a best selling author :-)

[gness]

Ich... :-))

Hope his passport is in order.
When he went to the US he snuck in on a dodgy one and was booted out by the authorities.

[Zacs-Master]

I see the thread took off in my absence. Jolly good.
Tommy Robinson a journalist……haaaaaaa! He’s a self serving xenophobic thug who’s slowly running out of places to hide, thank goodness.

[gness]

Maybe I’ll find him hiding in my shed, Zacs. ;-)

[Zacs-Master]

Get that sheleighly out, Gness.

One day I’ll spell it correctly 8-(

'Even today, Facebook mishandled the ban. It issued the announcement that Robinson was to be banned some minutes before actually pulling his Instagram page – giving Robinson the chance to complain in advance. He claimed he hadn’t breached any Facebook rules.

“What I’ve done is shown people the truth and that is what they are removing, the truth. People will still find me,” he wrote. “People will be astonished by this censorship.”

However, his recent posts have included one calling Muslims ‘filthy scum bags’, one calling for a ‘war’ against them – ***and one calling for those who follow the Koran to be beheaded.***' [emphasis added]

[gness]

Spell as you like, Zacs. I have a collection. And a river running along our field! :-)

[Spungle]

It's quite obvious who the thugs are.

[naomi24]

The sickeningly huge capacity for hatred from his critics here surpasses anything I’ve ever seen from Tommy Robinson. Coming from supposedly upstanding citizens it makes unnerving reading.

[Gromit]

Robinson is a nasty thug.

Says a lot about the posters who are quite happy with that and are eager to support the thuggery.

[naomi24]

I can't see anyone here supporting thuggery, gromit. Have you made that up?

[ichkeria]

I think people are just expressing their repugnance at a repugnant individual.
But that’s how a lot of these people operate: they naturally attract strong reaction and then make capital out of the consequences.

[Zacs-Master]

‘The sickeningly huge capacity for hatred from his critics here surpasses anything I’ve ever seen from Tommy Robinson’. You either haven’t looked hard enough or you have chosen to ignore the facts.
For a start, read sunny Dave’s post at 19.20 which is just above ^^^

[Gromit]

// surpasses anything I’ve ever seen from Tommy Robinson //

The thuggery is clearly spelt out earlier. And you haven’t seen it? You support Robinson, so you must support the thuggery that is part of his brand.
