[retrocop]

On his first day? Obviously those who claimed he would be in protective custody were sadly deluded methinks.

Whether it happened or not my first reply stands, regardless of who the prisoner is.

[ladybirder]

Agree re BBC v_e.
Nothing in The Guardian either.
Hopefully it didn't happen then.

[albaqwerty]

the metro said he was, another one says he wasn't

[Khandro]

I shall pray for his safety.

[DTCwordfan]

me too, khandro, it couldn't happen to a finer man - if it even happened.

Safer being with 'white' inmates??????

That was a little racist of them.

[fiction-factory]

^Can you explain that please, AOG? Hadn't TR complained about being put with Muslims and Asian heritage prisoners previously?

[anotheoldgit]

fiction-factory

My racist accusation wasn't aimed at Tommy Robinson (I'll leave the lefties to do that) It was aimed at the authorities who thought he would be safer with the supposedly less violent white prisoners.

[ummmm]

Do ever stop nit picking, AOG?

[spathiphyllum]

"Because it is 'expected' as you put it, does not make it right. "

I never said it did make it right.

"No prisoner should 'expect' to be assaulted, regardless of his or her conviction - the penalty is incarceration, not assault."

And well, you can say that, but my expectations have already been met. I'm not sure what Tommy's were.. I don't really care. However, he thought he was going to be murdered by Muslims.. so i'm sure this is minor on Tarms expectation list.

/// Do ever stop nit picking, AOG? ///

'Irony klaxon sounding loudly'!!!!!

[Gromit]

The BBC will not report the story until it is confirmed by the Prison Authorities.
But the Prison Authorities won’t confirm it because they don’t want Yaxley Lennon to become a martyr.

Good article in the Spectator, is worth a read:

// That's made a few posters' day, hasn't it, Ummmm?//
er... sarcasm or irony doesnt go well on AB
try to keep it down to 3 word sentences

"pleased you den?" fits the bill

Andie my little logorrhoeic author cum poster
//Obviously the authorities cannot legislate for a new inmate allegedly behaving in a manner not befitting.......yet more//

Obviously the authorities cannot legislate for anything a prisoner does inside or out - that is why they are in prison! ter daaaah ! o lordy lordy ! gawd blessum all - - as 3T might say.

terrible just awful 30 min prog R4 - tommy and the slammer, wed 1630 available on replay

or as Tarmy might say - members of his own race.

Never underestimate the role of sheer incompetence in a cack up - some general reminded us

I don't get what you're saying AOG. Are you saying the authorities should not have taken account of his previous complaint that he was put in a predominantly Asian/Muslim prison?

[Mamyalynne]

It is a good article Gromit, I posted it on a recent TR thread too.

[Peter Pedant]

// Hadn't TR complained about being put with Muslims and Asian [cons]//

hadnt he also converted briefly to Islam ?
ticks all the boxes for koofar - (apostate) - unbeliever who once believed
bad really bad

[hereIam]

Hope it's not true.

[andy-hughes]

AOG - // My racist accusation wasn't aimed at Tommy Robinson (I'll leave the lefties to do that) ... //

Clearly it's not essential to be a 'lefty' to think 'Tommy Robinson' is a racist - I think it every time his 'name' is mentioned, and I am not a 'lefty' by any normal definition of the term.

[Peter Pedant]

//My racist accusation wasn't aimed at Tommy Robinson//

calling someone else racist on a Tarmy fred?
casting your net wide, aren't you?

the latest from da scrubs is that the seventy year old ( di'mond geezer and so on) was just trying to make frenz, but Tarmy ...... took it the wrong way !
ter daaah !
