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

[Mr.Bishie]

Spoke to a couple of friends who were photographing & filming yesterday, & they both said the MET were at the point of losing control. These two are both die hard protest photographers, & even they said it felt scary! The going number of fash is 20k, & a lot more younger kicking off, whereas the older firm were not up for a ruck.

Going off reports from the speeches, this is a monthly planned event? Surely plod won't let them off the hook next time?

a lot more younger kicking off, whereas the older firm were not up for a ruck.

I didn't see any direct violence first hand but I saw a lot of attempted aggro, with people screaming into coppers' faces, and they were all middle aged blokes, for what that's worth.

Have a look through here -https://londonnewspictures.photoshelter.com/gallery/2018-06-09-Tommy-Robinson-Demo-LNP/G00004qN.q75EVE8/

The cone throwers were 14-18 years old tops!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Plus 20-30 coppers injured.

I saw it kick off on Whitehall with projectiles lobbed at cops and they basically backed off.
Stark contrast to antifascists who get kettled then beaten into a location more of plod’s pleasing.
I doubt subsequent ones will be policed quite so lightly, I’ll start believing conspiraloon stuff if they are!

Yeah - we know that makes a more saleable picture though... There were definitely teenagers there, but what I mean is that there wasn't (IMO) specifically an age divide. Younger lads might have done it but plenty of older folk were very happy to mix it up with the police.

When it kicked off around Downing Street I was over the other side but people there were agreeing with the speakers who were saying to stop it. It didn't last for very long when I was there.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I'm going to take down the pics that I posted btw - it's unlikely but I don't want them connected with me.

I was on the other side and it moved up towards Trafalgar Square. It was pretty short lived though from what I saw; presumably in the knowledge that not everyone was backing them.

I usually refrain from political posts around here but been following Tommy Robinson for a few years with his vlogging....he seems like a good, and extremely brave man. If you have watched his videos and followed him for many years you can understand him. Free Tommy (thats not even his real name....)

Are you on a piss take?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

No, seriously, fuck off, if you can't be arsed even looking up the racist twat then stay out of discussions about him, and if you actually agree with him then fuck off permanently.

 

[Cheesypoof]

no. i always expect a herd mentality guan on around here....let me guess you think he is a 'cunt'?

You're Morrissey & I claim my £5?

Quoted for some reason or another... mainly so you can never deny you posted this...your fan-girling of the likes of Milo and other alt-right cunts has been going on for some time...this? Fucking hell.

hmm. racist twat? have you watched his video about his dealings with muslims? i guess not. Folks like you need to educate yourselves. Thats why i stay out of the absolute crap that people like you espouse....its too easy for you, rather than look beyond the parapet, actually READ, watch what you attempt to critique (watch hours of it, read hours about it) and get yourself informed.

I'm now informed you're a fucking idiot.

LOL. EDUCATE YOURSELVES URBAN>>>TOMMY-NOT-HIS-NAME-RACIST-ROBINSON deserves your time.

Hours of it? You have hours in your day to watch and absorb the absolute shite the likes of Tommy-pretender spouts?

Absolute crap is something you know all about, obviously.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

well I see the subtle suggestion didn't work

 

[bimble]

Good. About bloody time. One week since this crap isn't bad.

 

[joustmaster]

Good god. I never thought she was a raging fucking filthy bigot. What a nasty surprise.

Awful.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Fuck me lol, never saw that coming!

Cheesy Is Morrissey! I fuckin knew it!

 

[Magnus McGinty]

The drugs forum delivers these types, bizarrely enough, given how the far right view addicts.

 

[bimble]

never really noticed her apart from about a year ago when she was all about how sexy and exciting Milo was. It's a bit interesting as a trajectory sort of.
eg) cos i've got nothing better to do:

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Cheesy’s mates

 

[Mr.Bishie]

 

[Treacle Toes]

Good god. I never thought she was a raging fucking filthy bigot. What a nasty surprise.

Awful.

There has been some bizzaro stuff as long as I can remember...she's recently become fond of calling people SJW as if fighting for SJ is a fucking crime?
...as an aside...I have honestly always cringed at her need to mention her 'alabaster skin' too. Subtle maybe but I see it.

 

[bimble]

Plus 20-30 coppers injured.

This is the positive-ish takeaway as i see it, a major fuckup for the nascent 'movement' if it is one because even though usually plod would be on their side (structurally and given a choice on the ground) the people who went for it chucking stuff at the police really fucked up because next time they'll be kettled in no time. taking some sort of comfort in that is sad i know.
