naomi - // /I wonder if this was someone other than Tommy those condemning him would still feel the same. //
Good question, LB. //
It is a good question.
I would like to think I would react in the same way if it were anyone else, but once again 'Tommy Robinson' is hoist by his own petard.
If you create a persona and relentlessly put it in front of people, they are going to develop an attitude to you, be that good or bad, and that will in turn inform your reaction to his ongoing behaviour, which of course is reported, as 'Tommy' would wish, and indeed should expect.
