Tommy Robinson

[spathiphyllum]

Tommy Robinson has had his facebook and instagram account terminated. Facebook says he has continually violated its community standards with hate speech against Muslims.

Is you use social media in ways that violate their policies around organised hate then surely you're a bad person?

[naomi24]

Her name is Shamima.

[spathiphyllum]

and his name is Stephen

[naomi24]

Why are you calling him Tommy then?

See what I did there? You're back to Tommy without even realising it. ;o)

[sanmac]

"Shamima"...Reminds me of my favourite pancake syrup.

[spathiphyllum]

Well he is the man of the hour

[naomi24]

Well, he was yesterday at least.

[spathiphyllum]

So.. Tommy Robinson. What is the worst thing he has done?

To be honest.. i don't think it's what he said or influenced on social media. But that doesn't mean what he said or influenced wasn't bad.. it's just he's done worse stuff aint he.. Using someone else's passport? Hey Begum and Rob have common grounds

[andres]

'Man of the hour'? Tommy has been the man of about 30 hours on AB.

Have you considered what the thoughts were of the unfazed Begum were when she saw the severed heads, of her organisation's handwork in dustbins."Oh dear. I do hope hubby and his mates gave these enemies of ISIS due process and a fair trial" If the owners of those heads were kurdish,Iraqi or Syrian then it is down to those to dispense justice how they feel fit.
If you were caught smuggling drugs into Manila Airport you would be tried ,and if convicted, shot. Nothing that the British Embassy can do. Their country. Their rules. Why should the UK pay for an expensive trial,lining some briefs coffers with oodles of legal aid money? Would you be prepared to donate to crowd funding for her trial?

[spathiphyllum]

That is true, but he's a good topic because of how controversial he is and how applicable he is to what some consider political issues

[agchristie]

Used someone else's passports for different ends.One being much more serious than the other Spath.

[spathiphyllum]

Well i already do retro i pay my taxes some of which goes to what i want it to go to some of which goes to what i don't want it to go to that is the way of our system

[spathiphyllum]

what about mortgage fraud? Assaulting a cop? his football hooligan days?

OK he didn't join a terrorist organisation but he did start a far right group that caused multiple accounts of violence

[retrocop]

In that case your taxes can be spent elsewhere and not on this woman if due process is carried out in that country. Their process, I imagine, is quite cheap and alot quicker than ours

[spathiphyllum]

It be how it do i don't have much power over the matter

[ichkeria]

I have nothing to add. Just trying to help get Tommy up to 500 before close of play.

[spathiphyllum]

please don't we were back on track to some extent
