Robinson Wins Appeal

[Gromit]

// Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been bailed after partly winning an appeal against a finding of contempt of court, which he admitted.
Robinson, 35, of Bedfordshire, received a 13-month jail term in May after he filmed outside Leeds Crown Court during a trial. //

Be interesting to read the judgement.

I've picked up quite a few patronising put downs from News section that you could start including in return, spath: "bless", "jolly good", "right-o", "sigh".
Do people say "bless" and "sigh" in spoken conversations?
If you enjoy it, keep doing it. If you don't keep away. You may think like I do that you are generally right but others seem certain they know the facts- and no-one will ever change their mind with the confrontational style of posting seen in News- and we end up falling into the trap of responding to non-sequiturs and having answers demanded of us. It may be best to smile and take a break knowing that you are more right than they are

^ that was for spath- I can't see who posted last now as we are on a new page

LB, //Naomi I don't know how you have the patience. Sigh.//

Neither do I really. Perhaps it’s because I care about the victims of these monsters rather more than I care about the monsters. As I said yesterday, I defend the weak, others defend the indefensible – and somehow I'm judged the bad guy. Funny old world.

[andy-hughes]

I don't believe anyone is made a 'bad guy' for defending the weak.

The language and attitude used in that defence - that's a different issue.

> it’s because I care about the victims of these monsters rather more than I care about the monsters

I think we all do. I'm not aware anyone has said otherwise.

Idiot... With evidence not allowed.
Racist... Without evidence perfectly acceptable



Yep, this is Ab of today.

Which isn't as bad as an Islamic extremist.

What happened to his left wing... Did he lose it in a fight?

[naomi24]

Spath, //Is that a sympathy beg Naomi?//

Oh no spath. Heaven forbid! That’s not my style at all. It’s Just an observation – an accurate one I’d say - based on the sort of things you say to me …. like //Proud to stand up to malicious stubborn racists like urself.//

[naomi24]

That is - without doubt!

Yaxley-Lennon's first conviction was for violent assault against a policeman who was attempting to stop him from beating up his girlfriend
Yaxley-Lennon's most recent conviction was for deliberately jeopardising several linked court cases into child sex abuse gangs as a self-publicity stunt.

In between, Yaxley-Lennon has been convicted of mortgage fraud, contempt of court, more assault, and the use of a false passport and fake identity documents.

If you're idolising a violent serial criminal as some kind of folk hero simply because you agree with the bigoted extreme-right nonsense he spews, you really should seek an alternative hero.
