Tommy Robinson, Police State Options

[TallDarkAndHands...]

So Tommy Robinson is now imprsioned for reporting outside the court on the rape trial of an accused 29 men.
His crime? Reporting on a trial where no reporting is allowed.
He will most likely be murdered in prison.
Thousands protesting in Downing St.
And not a word in the news as it is banned from reporting his arrest!
Whether you agree with him or not this turn of events is a worry.

I think we should wait until the appeal is heard before jumping to conclusions. This trait of insisting legal process and formal enquiry can only deliver populist judgements is quite disturbing. It's things like this which have turned our society into a selfish and illiterate mob. Over the past few years, a good number of foreign visitors have remarked that it seems like the English have no pride in their nation or institutions. I've never felt able to refute that.

It’s not jumping to conclusions to say that he broadcast contrary to a court order. It’s irrefutable. What remains to be seen is if he was harshly judged. Given his long history of criminal activity the sentence doesn’t seem disproportionate. But I’ve no idea what the sentencing guidelines are for what he did. As you say, we shall have to wait and see but I can’t deny being glad that such a disgusting person is behind bars.

nothing to with how he was judged, the judicial process was abused. everybody from your bearded child abuser upwards deserves a fair trial, its called due process, TR was denied his fair process. this was the basis of the appeal and subsequent freeing. the libs need to pay heed to the law.

While in the process or possibly jeopardising a fair trail.
