Tommy Robinson, the court case and (guffaw) 'free speech'

What is that meeting he's at there exactly?
A conference organised by AfD's magazine Compact (the C logo).

The Times said:
Robinson was speaking after receiving the “European patriot of the year” award at a conference in Bavaria organised by the hard-right magazine Compact. In his acceptance speech, he said: “German people for too long have lived in the guilt of Adolf Hitler. Do not live in the guilt of Angela Merkel.”

The conference, on September 29, brought together key figures on the European far right, including Lutz Bachmann, the founder of Pegida, Martin Sellner, from the Generation Identity movement, leaders of the Alternative for Germany party and a representative of the Italian leader, Matteo Salvini. Compact has been funded by the Kremlin-created Institute for Democracy and Co-operation.
 
must admit, having seen the video, which included TR asking his young daughter detailed questions about the alleged assault , and the manner of her response seeming normal / natural ( whatever that is, under those circumstances -I just mean apparently unprompted ) am unsure about all this, and all the piss taking etc.

On the one hand, if all true, not sure any of us need to be crowing / piss taking, the offending bloke deserved a slap / then arresting.

On the other, idea of TR's young daughter getting assaulted by an Asian ( by all accounts ) man in a public pool , after a decade + of TR campaigning against muslim grooming gangs etc, just seems a bit mind boggling.

Course, it'd be most unlike the convicted fraudster and well known bullshitter Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to lie about this whole thing and even coerce his daughter into it as well. Most out of character. :D

I have no doubt that he's seen an opportunity to gift some more money from his fuckwit acolytes by blowing this way up. He wanted to get nicked, no doubt about it. And let's face it, with his track record, the filth would have wanted to cover their own arse so if there was anything on this other guy or guys then they'd be nicked too.
 
apparently the grift isn't going to well at present either, deplatforming is hurting the finances etc .... hard not to see this episode in that light

Yes, that emboldens my point. He has to keep himself current in order to keep the donations rolling in. This incident works perfectly. Plus he can milk the shit out of it when he's in court next, I think he's being sued atm.

Not prepared to make up my mind on a who gets their video out first publicity gamble by SYL tbh. The Police response seems measured, they have two accusations to investigate. One of which will take longer to investigate due to the age of the victim which requires specialist officers and further evidence including witness statements , the other of assault by SYL has a victim statement and witnesses.
 
I despise Robinson. But, having seen the video in which his daughter is quite clear about what happened, I'm inclined to belive the victim of a sexual assault.

I haven't seen the video, because why would I?

Few questions about legal stuff though.

1) Other reports of it say SYL was asking leading questions of his daughter. Was that your impression?

2) Will this video be more likely to aid or hinder a prosecution for sexual assault?

3) Who puts out a video identifying the victim of an alleged sexual assault just to avoid adverse publicity?

If you were interested in understanding more about this incident, I guess.


1) Other reports of it say SYL was asking leading questions of his daughter. Was that your impression?

I'm sure it wasn't best practice. But, on the face of it, it didn't look particularly leading (though we can't know what had already happened off camera).


2) Will this video be more likely to aid or hinder a prosecution for sexual assault?

Hard to say. Particularly since we don;t know whether she'd already provided an account to the police at that stage, and whether it differed from this version.


3) Who puts out a video identifying the victim of an alleged sexual assault just to avoid adverse publicity?

An areshole like 'Robinson'.
