Responding to Shatterface & Drokkit:
* Was TR's new offense a violation of an existing gag order on that rape gang trial, or merely a violation of these abso restrictions of his suspended sentence? Or both?
His actions have found in him in contempt of court : breached the stipulations of his suspended sentence. It told him not to interfere with trials in progress.
* After several days of certain individuals adamantly denying there was a reporting ban on TR's sentencing, it turns out there was very much a reporting ban;
Time-limited reporting bans are fairly normal here; reports etc have to abide by them. The gag says very clearly that it is for the duration of the trial and would end when verdicts were delivered. Why do you think this is so important?
* I don't think there's a 'conspiracy'. I noted that the judge in question frequently issues gag orders;
* I do think TR has been targeted by the legal system & powers-that-be for some time -- the same legal system and powers who've consistently coddled extremely odious moslem extremists and criminals;
* I'll bet dollars to donuts TR's solicitor was intentionally lied to about his pending release -- and it will be covered up in a pile of FUD;
Bold : proposition saying this conspiratorial.
Italic: proportions that are conspiratorial.
Unstated major premise seems to be that Robinson gets this heat because his opposed to the gov's project of Islamification. Consider that he gets heat for extremist activities - plenty of Muslims say the exact same thing that they are being unfairly targeted, as do far-left group. I personally know people embroiled in the spycops infiltration scandal who got targeted by the gov - they are very far left.
* Note how TR's detractors always resort to ad hominem attacks instead of addressing his sometimes valid points and objections. Further, anyone who objects to the creeping Islamization of the UK, or decries the police coverups of the rape gangs, or objects to the heavy-handed suppressions of free speech, is instantly labeled 'right-wing' and racist';
Cherry picking correlation. Are all the extremist muslims we have locked up also having their free speech curtailed to protect... extremist muslims?
* As I said earlier, TR's not the brightest bulb in the pack, but you all are stuck with him as the only public figure making a public fuss about the rape gang scandal and the general rise of toxic Islam. With this stunt, he's surely played right into the hands of the Islamophiles. But that in no way negates that odious & pervasive islamophilia.
His style, history, and method of inserting a football chanting crowd into everything is a big part of why the mainstream are afraid to touch the issue. He could do better, but it's about him. These people showing up to protest his arrest do fuck all when it's an actual scandal.
Look, I understand that this 'feels' wrong, it 'feels' morally inconsistent and objectionable. But let's not allow that to motivate the disposal of standards that we suppose to be not only important, but crucial in defining what we are against.
