[fraser]

[youngmafbog]

He probably won't but still won't get anywhere.

"Potentially your next PM will be a terrorist sympathiser for instance."


What absolute pathetic tosh. LOL. Slander slander and more slander.
Either way...
Better than selling weapons to certified known terrorists who use them to blow up busses full of school children.

I can only see Tommy Robinson losing his deposit.

//Let us hope he loses his deposit !//

Well that isn't as bad as losing your mind - which some are demonstrating they have, ranting on here.

It is only slander if untrue,which in this case, it isn'.t

[SparklyKid]

Good on you Tommy. He speaks for the majority. Only a fool would not recognise his popularity. A well educated great speaker.

[Spicerack]

Tommy's a very popular person, whether some of you like it or not.
I think he'll do well and certainly won't lose any deposit unless the fix is in.

Theresa may knowingly armed Saudi Arabia. They have some sketchy relationship. The sausis then used these weapons to blow up a sYemin school bus full of children.

Having empathy and sympathy for a terrorist, isn't as bad as arming one.
When people use "terrorist sympathiser" to defame Corbyn and to promote the status quo, it's giving a false impression of the two parties. So it is slander.

SparklyKid - // He speaks for the majority. Only a fool would not recognise his popularity. A well educated great speaker. //

I have to take issue with a couple of points there -

I don't believe 'Tommy Robinson' speaks for the majority, I also dispute that he is actually that popular, in real terms, let's not confuse a high media profile with popularity, the two are not necessarily synonymous. For example, millions of people know who Rolf Harris is, that doesn't make him a welcome addition to any dinner party.

I would also argue that 'Tommy' is 'well educated', or a 'great speaker'. I think he is well educated in the specific areas in which he makes his living - which is racially based agitation and incitement, and similarly, I think he speaks well about them, but that does not make him well educated or a great speaker outside those narrow parameters.

And that brings me to my actual response to the OP -

I believe that 'Tommy Robinson' comes from the same background, and has similar skills, to Jeremy Corbyn. Neither are politicians, both are professional agitators, which makes them vocal as opposition to government, but it means that they have less than no clue about how the political system, and indeed democracy and the legislative process works.

This would mean that either of them would be floundering and seriously out of their mutual depth, were they required to actually make workable decisions, as opposed to simply standing on the side-lines shouting loudly about how badly everyone else is doing things. That's easy - government and actual responsibility are not, and neither of them is fit for either.

at least corbyns not a certified criminals.

spath - // at least corbyns not a certified criminals. //

That's true, but it's no basis for an argument in support of anyone.

Most of us are not lots of 'anythings' - thieves, murderers, thugs, tax avoiders, arsonists …. the list goes on - but that doesn't make us suitable for something because we can measure that against someone who is any of those things, it's an unsustainable argument.

[spathiphyllum]

"That's true, but it's no basis for an argument in support of anyone. "

I think you'll find it is. I will support man A over man B because man B is a criminal. I don't want a criminal having any say over a group of people. (which is what politics is)

With you Sparkly at 15:23. Mmm the north west, my neck of the woods.

[ichkeria]

I saw a bit of the “speech” he made on “Brexit day” outside Parliament and he was clearly drunk. It’s very sad that some people look up to him as some sort of hero or hope for the future. Are things really that bad.

[david small]

Yes ich things really are that bad. Any port in a storm, and by the cringe our political shower are are kicking up a tempest.

[fraser]

How can you call him a racist?

The actual words he said at Wythenshawe (my own place of birth btw)
were;

“If you elect me to the European Parliament, I’ll represent you, the working class of England.
Whether it’s enforcing our borders and cutting back on immigration, or taking back our national sovereignty to make British decisions in Britain, or fighting to preserve our national identity against Islamification, I’m on the side of the people.”

Is anything wrong with that?
