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

[DotCommunist]

no arbitrary limit on canteen spends per week ether then. So all the biscuits and batteries he needs

The video of Goddard getting arrested is funny as fuck.

Link?

Edit: Found it. They're pretending to not know what he was arrested for either...... He does know, he was arrested for threatening to behead a journalist on camera.

How many biscuits to the gram I wonder?

 

[TopCat]

Apparantly he isn't on bail as the prosecution is a civil not a criminal one . This civil status also affects privileges inside , if he is imprisoned ie can wear own clothes , more visits , doesn't have to work and in theory not to be placed in a cell with someone convicted under criminal law .

No criminal conviction either.

Not forgetting the milkshakes.

Contempt of court being civil.

I knew contempt was civil and get extra rights as result, like being on remand, but how does this bit work in practice - if people are sending him money can he live like a king or is there still some sort of limit?

If the prick gets a single cell no work and all the biscuits he wants then tbh it's not too shabby really

It will come under the "I don't like your face Act 1612).

The screws will hate him because of all the shit his followers will send him.

not sure, I just recall that convicted means you are limited, remand etc you are not. There must be some upper limit for practicality if nothing else.

not to mention all the shit his followers will send *them*

Contempt of court being civil.

It appears it can civil or criminal...

Because this charging decision was so unexpected, it followed that there was little legal precedent to call upon in order to establish what type of contempt our client had allegedly committed. Case law makes clear that only a party to the proceedings can commit a civil contempt, but criminal contempt is committed if an order is breached by a “stranger to the litigation”.

Contempt of court – civil or criminal? | Mackrell Turner Garrett

As Tommy the Twat was not party to the proceedings, it would appear to be a criminal matter in his case.

Anyway hopefully all his own threads will get taxed

A comrade was on remand in the 80's in Pentonville and you were allowed to bring fruit in every day. Well they got the biggest melon and rocked up to drop it off. john x told me the screws just said fuck off or else.

I want us to blue sky think on this now. How can we encourage, inflame and provoke a big horrible violent row between Tommeh and his rayguns and the forces of the POA?

picket the prison when the screws are arriving / departing demanding they release him from "the hole"

And mortgage fraud.

Can't he just tick no to everything on the ESTA? It's what we normally advise

You are right in that contempt can be both but wrong that in this case it's criminal. There's a useful thread on it here

My sister was able to bring her boyfriend curry and lager when he was on remand in 1988.

 

[Kaka Tim]

not been a good year for our tommy. At the start of the year he was on a role - the messiah of the far right, thousands cheering him on and global fame (amongst cunts anyway) - and he clearly believed his own hype. But this was followed by milkshakes, a trouncing in the election and the imminent prospect of a stretch in the can - and all this whilst having to care for serious and debilitating coke habit.

This is odd.

I've just checked half a dozen reports of his latest conviction, none mention bail, one way or the other.

But, he was released on bail pending this latest hearing, perhaps that continues until he is sentenced.
