I am saying nothing at this stage - I think the report, and the result of the case, says it all.

Naomi - // AH, but why did the police single him out in the first place? Answer: because they knew who he was. As I said, common sense. Pity the judge wasn’t rather more well endowed. //
If I was a police officer, and I encountered a group of rowdy football fans in a pub, and I started having a word with the loudest one of all (and let's face it, you can't really argue that 'Tommy' would be sitting in the corner listening!) - and he smelled of alcohol, and then he got his phone out and started filming me, I would not perceive that as having 'singled him out'.
I appreciate you are looking for an alternative angle on this, but I think you are working with very little evidence to support the premise that this was pre-planned by the police because 'Tommy Robinson' was drinking in a pub on a match day. That's hardly worth 'planning for' - is it? It's not like it's a rare occasion I would guess.

if he wasnt well known why was he marched out of the pub with his family - absolutely disgusting!

Talbot - // The police turned up to a pub to throw someone out that was not
A, barred from said pub
B, Causing any trouble in that pub.
So this was just a random act was it?
Seriuosly? //
There is no suggestion that the police visited the pub with the intention of throwing anyone out.
For reasons unknown - but consider that maybe the licensee called them because a group of fans were getting a bit loud, and he wanted them spoken to and asked to quieten down - the police officer started a conversation with 'Tommy Robinson' who then became aggressive, started filming the officer, was offered a chance to leave, and refused.
All of that is in the report - it only suggests that 'Tommy' was 'targeted' and 'thrown out for doing nothing' if you wish to see it that way.
You, as a supporter of 'Tommy Robinson, choose so to do, I as a non-supporter, do not.

tambourine - // if he wasnt well known why was he marched out of the pub with his family - absolutely disgusting! //
Firstly, the report advises that his family were not with him, they were outside.
Secondly, you don't need to be 'well known' to get yourself ejected from a pub, you just need to start grandstanding for your friends by filming a police officer in the execution of his duty, and then refuse a request to leave.
It's that simple - no 'fame', imagined or otherwise, required.

Naomi - // That you applaud unfair play disappoints zacs, but it doesn’t surprise. //
I fail to see 'unfair play' here.
'Tommy Robinson', as is his wont, fetched up in court as a wounded hard-done-to citizen who was badly treated by the police because he is 'famous' - and the judge elected not to agree with that view.
What is 'unfair' about that?
