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

[likesfish]

It's police corruption obviously Lawrance Fox wants the job of right wing tosser and being posh can get the met to bully the oik toomah ( not sure you can be working class if you don't actually work?")
Another example of the middle classes stealing all the plum jobs

A good thread from the Antifascist Research Collective with some background as to what was going on - it seems the wee boy was there to support an anti-Islam speaker.

Worth a look for the photos alone:

His defence that libelling Jamal Hijazi was in the public interest has been kicked out by the judge:

from the Metro
Lawyers for Mr Robinson said he contacted the then-15-year-old boy who pushed Jamal in the footage, who is known in the case as ‘B’, along with three parents of children who had allegedly been assaulted by Jamal. Their application said it was in the public interest to publicise B’s version of events as there was ‘far more to the story’.

But they will not get to make the defence in court as the judge said there was a ‘complete absence of chronology’ for Mr Robinson’s investigations.

Lawyers for Jamal argued Mr Robinson had very little time to carry out the interviews he claims to have conducted as his videos were published one and two days after the attack respectively.

Mr Justice Nicklin added: ‘In order to disclose a case with a real prospect of success, (Robinson) must make clear when the various interviews, and other steps upon which he places reliance, took place.’ He added the EDL founder has still failed to provide the names of anyone who accused Jamal of being violent towards them. However he said ‘the door is not finally closed’ to a public interest defence and will consider a more detailed application that properly explains the timeline.

The judge also accepted amendments to Robinson’s existing defence that his claims were true, which added further details to known allegations against Jamal as well as three new alleged incidents.

The trial continues.

Intersting piece in The Times regarding Danny Tommo , once Yaxley Lennon's 'right' hand man. Posters might remember this photo of UKIP round the table with both Y-L and Tommo.



The woman present is Lisa Barbounis who at the times was working for the Middle East Forum , a right wing US organisation which funded SYLs activities for a while. . Long story short, Barbounis parted company with MEF alleging sexual harassment against a senior figure and launched a court case, MEF launch a counter court case which includes allegations that she had an affair with Tommo , planned to move to the UK to live with him. The allegation is supported by Tommo's ex missus Jazz Bishop ( who he was still with at the time) who had contacted the MEF about the affair. .Part of the MEF allegations is that monies were spent on 'cocaine which Tommo bought for her and them having a bit of rumpy pumpy in hotels. Approx 7k went to Tommo in purchasing a house . Court documents claim that Thomas was helping the MEF with its case against Mrs Barbounis but broke off contact. its also alleged that Barbounis now working for some loony Republican used her position in the House of Representative to threaten Jazz Bishop( Tommos ex) and Thomas.

100% sane and reasonable behaviour from all concerned

Jazz Bishop

That is a FANTASTIC name. I could believe it coming from the same Wu-Tang name generator as Childish Gambino.

I was rather excited about it myself

Sounds like one of Howard Moons mentors from an episode of Mighty Boosh.

filed for bankruptcy before the trial. Does this make him even more of a cunt than I'd previously imagined?

how deep is your imagination?

Apparently he’s got some dosh squirrelled away in Bitcoin

A mate wasn't allowed to Appeal a judgement against him because the original court case (which he'd won) had bankrupted him. I wonder if this means he can't fight the court case and (with luck) judgement will be entered against him? Someone who knows?

A quick search and there's: "If you bring a civil case against someone and they file bankruptcy, your lawsuit is stopped by the automatic stay."

Wonder what that means in practice.

Good point . Last week he appeared in court representing himself to request an adjournment which he was granted, but for a very short period . Didn’t declare he was seeking bankruptcy ( not that he had to ) but did comment that he was short of funds to the extent that his house was no longer in his name .

He put it in his wife's name didn't he?

This timing of this bankruptcy filling is very convenient.

Deeper than TRs pockets

My mate who was declared bankrupt had made sure the house was no longer in his name either. Wonder whose name it's in now. Eta no surprise if what Rutita1 said is correct.

If there was a forensic financial investigation of his circumstances a few things would be thrown up. For example FLAF unearthed that he’d put money into a couple of clothing shops selling prime casual gear . His / his missus house was on the market last year and although his trip to Spain ended up as a holiday he went looking at property as some loudmouth real estate merchant told the press that he was his client .

As I recall there are rules for declaring yourself bankrupt and what you can and can't do. Lets hope that he can't do what he's been doing

(Although frankly it's probably better for everyone if it goes up his nose and on expensive cars than funding political projects).

I guess it's old news that former Tommy cameraman Caolan Robertson is now an anti-extremist / survivor type.

Well quite, I'm not sure that should be described as "misuse of funds".

Caolan again, he is on a roll. Interesting that he appears to have completely renounced what he did with Yaxley but his mate Lucy Brown appears to have gone full ethno-nationalist.

he must have a book coming out the number of times he's been in the indy recently

He’s bankrupt. Morally and financially
