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


Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, declared himself bankrupt last March.
In July, a judge ordered him to pay £100,000 to a refugee schoolboy he had wrongly accused of attacking a girl.
He also owes an estimated £1.5m in legal costs for the boy's lawyers.
 
hmm we know what he did with his money he divorced his wife and gave it all to her


can they take it from the ex missus as it was clearly a planned stunt to avoid creditors

:hmm:

Yes, that’s what the crowd funder is there to do, expose where he has hidden the loot and if the divorce can be shown to be a sham, e.g. he’s often seen at the house, from time to time ordering builders around the place and so on, then the court can make a judgement on that.
 
His bankruptcy is due to end in March. If it can be proved to a court that he has hidden assets, the bankruptcy can be extended. And the court can reverse any transaction that is designed to put his assets out of reach of his creditors.

So if he did give it all to his wife, that can be reversed. But the difficulty is in proving it.
 
and also when he did it. If he did it (I think) before there was a judgement made then he's safe :(.

A mate did that to scientology - he had huge court costs awarded against him but had no assets when they came to be claimed. :)

Not quite. If you can convince a judge the intention of moving the money was to put it beyond the reach of creditors, it can be reversed. The time limit is 5 years but in some circumstances, there's no time limit at all .

This is easier to prove if the transaction is after the judgment. But people can see what's coming before a judgment and move their money then. And judges are alive to that.

It takes a lot of effort, time and money to get transactions reversed and often won't succeed. So many people don't bother
 
Interesting, ta.

Eta: my mate actually won his case but had some of their costs (in total a million or so :D ) awarded against him. So they appealed and he couldn't fight the appeal because he was bankrupt.

Scientology has deep pockets and doesn't bring cases so much to win, as to ruin (and/or silence) their opponent. So, in their warped imaginations, they won that case. Yep, it really is that screwed up.
 
My sons went to Telford on Saturday on the local SWP/SUTR minibus. Robinson had over 1000 turn up to get a police escort around the town and out of it. I suspect this sudden return of boots on the street is largely down to the right regaining confidence from the anti-lockdown protests

The counter demonstration was outnumbered three or four to one, although tightly and safely stewarded.

Bit depressing, but at least it wasn't a rerun of the EDL rampage in Stoke in 2010.

Personally I find it very depressing that your sons got on the local SWP/SUTR minibus.
 
what minbus did you get on to oppose the fash?
How am I supposed to attend a demo that I didn't even know about? Does everyone have to attend every demo that 19force8's sons attend? It's not possible for everyone to attend every demo anyway - and like I said, I wouldn't want to be hanging out with the likes of the SWP and whatever swappie front is there. And I really to do not see how the fash were being 'opposed' at all.

You’re muddling people up a bit regarding fatherhood.
