would Tommy's supporters still be behind him if today's 16 newly sentenced jailbirds had instead walked?

[jackthehat]

Great result.... :o)

No doubt his supporters will ignore the fact that he very nearly compromised the trial and concentrate on his 'vindication' for having the guts to denounce these grooming gangs.....(even though it was from the Court-steps where they were already on trial.)

[spathiphyllum]

And that, Jack the hat is because he's more a public figure than someone who 'actually' cares about these issues. Anything for some fame and ££ ay..

[ToraToraTora]

good to see the priorities here!

[Mamyalynne]

Good result re the sentences.

[Spicerack]

Some spinning. These scum wouldn't be on trial if it wasn't for Tommy Robinson. Mental.

[andy-hughes]

I notice the reference to ' … the antics of 'Tommy Robinson' … ' - that just about sums up his actions.

^ As always, good on ya TR ...

[Theland]

What about the antics of the council, Police, and government? They all looked the other way!
Tommy gave up his freedom to sound the alarms!

[emeritus]

Tommy went to Leeds crown court and tried to film defendants on a trial that had reporting restrictions which very nearly resulted in a mis-trial. Not very clever

[-Talbot-]

Explain how they would have 'Walked'
The jury had done their bit and the scumbags were returning for sentencing...the judge dishes out the sentence not the jury.

If these scumbags could have walked then our judicial system is total *** and would need to be looked at.

Yes, lets focus on Tommy...that's what important after all.

Funnily enough after Tommy was banged up for dragging the trial into the public consciousness, reporting restrictions were lifted after "media" pressure and open debate was engaged. Perhaps the sentences would have laughingly minimal and secret too boot without us all being aware of what was being done, and hidden from scrutiny.

I thought Tommy and his little frenz had screwed up another case - but he seems to have learnt from experience

Filming outside a court whilst a case is being heard strikes me as pretty dim.

mistrial - dismissal and retrial is the probable course
the judge is very unlikely to have entered formal not-guilty charges

The judge now has a power to discharge the jury and go on with the case and decide guilt for himself. First used in Manchester a few months ago. I am not sure what the loyal democratic Tommy fans would have made of that !

// reporting restrictions were lifted after "media" pressure and open debate was engaged. //

erm no not really - the defendants were anonymised for reasons I dont understand but open debate is NOT engaged during a case - any case - but what the hell - this is Ab and we are discussing Tommy

Strict rules for reporting

//the loyal democratic Tommy fans//

Wrong sort of democracy doncha know. Haha Pepe Le Phew.

[Peter Pedant]

democratic as in 'the voice of the People SHALL be heard!"

the judges advice on publication is pretty turgid - 45 p of goo
no sex at all .....

‘These scum wouldn't be on trial if it wasn't for Tommy Robinson‘

In what universe is that BS true?

[Theland]

Go to bed Zacs. You are boring.
