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

[agricola]

Surely a Trump-supporting owner of a sunbed shop who keeps getting imprisoned unjustly by the Man would come up with "Orange is the new Black".

I should not be one to cast the first stone, but that's quite a decent list there

 

[danny la rouge]

I keep reading this as "fast-thinking Tommy Robinson", and thinking "must be a different Tommy Robinson".

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

So a cunt has been a cunt and cunts are acting like cunts over it.

 

[Voley]

Good summary of why he's been sent down and why there were reporting restrictions here:

Why Tommy Robinson was jailed - and why we couldn't report it until now

I know, but if she's really leaving Twitter it's all good.

The line now is that he only pleaded guilty because his legal aid solicitor stitched him up.

 

[not-bono-ever]

but but but there is an appeal out there for his legal fees ....

Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon (born 27 November 1982[3]), known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, and previously by Andrew McMaster and Paul Harris,[4]

Didn’t a Paul Harris post here once? Although about photography iirc.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Had a London taxi driver start talking to me about this in terms strongly redolent of Alex Jones line.

 

[Pickman's model]

Yeh cos he's unfamiliar with the criminal justice system

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Shame he didn’t get better advice then from all those donations coming in for that very reason.

 

[gawkrodger]

I'm dissapointed at the relative lack of memes doing the rounds about this

 

[Mr.Bishie]

How many days til he takes his first beating?

Apparently, this is also a plot by the UK Government to have him killed inside the jail, given the Tories track record in getting things right the first time I assume that explains why the original sentence was suspended.

Really? Fuckin' Tories! I'd rather he had his throat slit inside by Islamist extremists!

Entertaining watching some British law professional tweeters pwning thick Americans who are either making up 'legalise' or using US concepts that do no exist in England (eg 'public defender', 'contest') in relation to Robinson. Great blog entry from prominent legal bloggers: What on earth happened to poor Tommy Robinson? 10 Things You Should Know.

He had a barrister , it's a Crown Court Case .

 

[The39thStep]

LET RELF ROT !

That takes me back. Thinking about it would one of the far right do this now for a publicity stunt ?

Killer quote -

"As we know now, he went and committed a contempt of court by reporting on court proceedings. He did so in a way that expressed his “views” on the guilt or otherwise of the defendants, creating a substantial risk of serious prejudice to the proceedings by jurors seeing or becoming aware of his ill-informed ramblings. This could have led to an application by the defence advocates to discharge the jury and start afresh, potentially meaning vulnerable complainants having to go through the trauma of a trial all over again, or even an application to “stay” (bring to an end) the proceedings altogether.

Importantly, Yaxley-Lennon admitted that he was in contempt of court.

And he was committed to prison for 10 months, with the suspended sentence of 3 months activated and directed to run consecutively. Exactly as he’d been warned."

Basically his passion for ensuring that nonces are brought to justice would seem to play second fiddle to his passion for promoting his own shitty, self serving, racist agenda. What a hero.

Sorry, just seems like badly-imagined "HAHA FICK PPL" trope.

 

[Sparkle Motion]

Couldn't care less what happens to Robinson. But could we stop referring to the rape of children as "grooming"?

2 things
Initially groomed then raped

 

[Sparkle Motion]

Yes, massive facepalm. Getting into argument of sorts with fash on Twitter who think that Robinson is a 'renegade freedom fighter' for turning up and filming outside court where Asian men are being tried in a grooming case.

Don't want to be pedantic, but are these "Asian" (?) men only charged with grooming?
