danny, //Naomi, not knowing the circumstances of the milk attack on Tommy Robinson I am not in a position to comment. //

The circumstances were that he had a milkshake thrown at him, as did Nigel Farage.

[spathiphyllum]

Two, actually.
However, tommy was antagonistic in his approach, Farage got milkshaked because tommy did.

[spathiphyllum]

Tommy deserved it, Farage did not.

[naomi24]

Spath doesn't do 'principle'.

[spathiphyllum]

Life is situational and subjective. Principles are are too structured for reality.

[naomi24]

Right ....

[spathiphyllum]

Well the act of Farage getting a milkshake darn his frunt was a completely different situation to tommy getting one.

If you can't see how, i will happily explain how.

[naomi24]

Spath, take a breath for goodness sake. Don't you have any lawns to mow on this lovely day?

[spathiphyllum]

I will take that as a "No thank you for the offer, Spathiphyllum, but I can understand how the situation between Tommy being shaked, and Farage being shaked is different".

No worries Naomi, it's quite alright. I hope you have a good evening.

[naomi24]

Thank you, I'm sure I shall.

spath - Tommy deserved it, Farage did not.

No, he did not deserve it.

Assault is not selective, depending on individual views of rthe victim - it is not acceptable for anyone to be assaulted in the street.

[agchristie]

The laws apply to everyone.

Even if one person is regarded as more odious than another it does not mean that they are a more deserving target.

I remember a similar conversation on AB a few years back when George Galloway was assaulted in the street.

Many contributors stated that he deserved to be attacked!

Guilty!

[Mamyalynne]

I was wondering if there had been a result, ta Khandro.

[david small]

Absolutely disgraceful, a stitch up from the beginning. This country has gone to the dogs and is ruled by hogs.

[Baldric]

Agree 100% David

[spathiphyllum]

I’m sure you may prefer the justice system of other countries

Fact is, he was guilty - that was obvious

[david small]

Isn't it curious how certain laws can be applied to the full extent to some while others get away with it? They are clearly demonizing and smearing Tommy to their best abilities.

[Jackdaw33]

If they put him back in jail, watch out for the protests. You ain't seen nothing yet.

[Mamyalynne]

The weather's picking up well for outside demos.
