Does it not seem outlandish that Robinson was taken out of the anti-Semitism march by the police?

//Still loved by some though// Love doesn't enter into it.  What he's been saying for years is right and he's still being pilloried for it - and this time banned from London for turning up at a march in support of terrified Jews.  How can that be right?  How anyone can condone the way he's being treated in a supposedly free and just country is beyond me.

We know.  That's what we're talking about.

So he was asked not to attend by organisers, and he came anyway.  Still, we all get to talk about the selfish egotist again ...

NAOMI, if you knew, why did you post, "Tommy Robinson had a heated exchange with the police?  Was that because they didn't want him there?" but not include the fact the organizers also opposed his being there? 

 

I saw no mention of the organisers in the link, simply that the police deemed him unwelcome.  That's why I posted it.

English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson - who was asked not to attend by organisers - was arrested by police.

NAOMI, your, "We know." comment appears to suggest you were aware he had been asked not to attend.

That wasn't the link provided. 

Question Author

Corbyloon: "organizers also opposed his being there" Organisers ?? anyone should be able and welcome to join a march against  antisemitism if they wish to, Good God!

Do  'organisers'  of protests, or the police, now have the right to adjudicate on who can march in the streets of London or who can't ?

Give me a break!

Corby, my response was to your 'he wasn't welcome there'.  Anything else to nitpick?

> Organisers ?? anyone should be able and welcome to join a march against  antisemitism if they wish to, Good God!

Khandro, the link in your favourite paper, the Daily Express, said this:

Around 40,000 to 50,000 people are expected to gather outside the Royal Courts of Justice on the Strand this afternoon for the rally organised by the charity Campaign Against Antisemitism.

So yes, there was an organiser for the rally, the same organiser that asked Tommy Robinson not to attend ... 

Agree with khandro at 18.56.  

'

A spokesperson for Campaign Against Antisemitism said: “Contrary to what Tommy Robinson appears to believe, the drunken far-right thugs who came to ‘protect the Cenotaph’ on Armistice Day, some of whom shouted ‘sieg heil’ or hospitalised police officers, are not allies of the Jewish community and are not welcome at our solidarity march on Sunday 26 November.

“We look forward to seeing those who genuinely support our community and invite all of our allies to join us and march shoulder to shoulder in solidarity with British Jews.”

On 11 November, Armistice Day, Robinson supporters were among those who attacked police after claiming to be protecting war monuments from pro-Palestine marchers.

The Met deputy assistant commissioner Ade Adelekan said: “Having spoken to the Campaign Against Antisemitism, Tommy Robinson is not welcome at the march on Sunday.”

Police said they were aware that Robinson might try to attend posing as a reporter.'

Corby... The faithful will never admit the possibility that they have it wrong.

> Agree with khandro at 18.56.  

Well, what a surprise.  That's the same Khandro that said in a different thread "Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders is on course to win ... Finally, the tide seems to be turning?" and is now on this thread linking to far-right activist, Tommy Robinson.  But Khandro and Naomi are not far-right themselves, of course - they just agree with, and say the same things as, far-right people ...

We have enough Jew haters in this country (and on this board for that matter), and I for one don't want TR to add his voice for the simple reason I think all he's interested in is a dust up. He doesn't help matters and I don't want his supposed support.

I know I am in the minority on AB but I find it hard to see that the existence, let alone the presence, of Tommy Robinson is a good thing

The organisers  of the Remembrance Day ceremonies asked the supporters of hamas not to attend    ...   they did anyway. Non were singled out for arbitrary arrest. Do the organisers of this march give commands to plod that previous organisers have been unable to?  Robinson is far right? The nazis saw the muslim communities as allies and would have built death camps in what we now call Palestein if they had not been concerned about the British discovering what was happening. Indeed they were invited to do so by the mufti of Jerusalem Hajj Amin al-Husayni who spent the 1941 to 1945  years in Berlin during WW2 as political adviser and collaborater where he made broadcasts to the Arab Countries calling for uprising agaist, and the elimination of all Jews in muslim countries. It is almost impossible to be pro nazi and anti islam at the same time. The creeds are almost identical. Meanwhile as some are pre ordained to be targets for Law Enforcement, others are deliberately not scrutinised. Abdul Wahid(nhs doctor) called for neighbouring countrie to attack Israel. It was at a rally yesterday organised by the Hizb-ut-Tahrir group and several met officers were present and in earshot. Robinson was not invited.  

Ellipsis, personal attacks are surplus to requirements.  If you're incapable of discussing this in a civilised manner I can only suggest you man up - and withdraw.

As every single word of your comment was wrong, I won't be "manning up" and "withdrawing" ...

My commentary was spot on, ellipsis.  That was a personal attack.   Your response, however, follows a pattern and, hence, isn't unexpected.
