KFM. What are you people on? It could indeed be viewed as a fine hour for English justice. An injustice acknowledged and redressed, but possible wrong at Leeds not yet dismissed. Seems good to me.

Bury your head in the sand Supertroll. That won't make muslim rape gangs go away...BUT...if everyone kept looking the other way like you are doing that sure as hell does embolden muslim rape gangs to carry on raping with impunity!

And probably the reason we don't see stories about this "white" rape gang problem you are so keen to point out is simply because "white" rape gangs aren't the problem that muslim rape gangs are! And while we are at it, I couldn't give a white muslim flying monkeys fuck about hindi rape gangs in India because that is an Indian issue to deal with!

Iapogus. I have no wish to read or observe more about muslim rape gangs. I acknowledge their existence. I also acknowledge the existence of white rape gangs (and in India, Hindu race gangs). What TR focuses upon is the muslim element and that is pure unadulterated racism, of which I want no part. What is important is the rape gang component, irrespective of ethnicity. So I respectfully decline your invitation to wallow in racism.

iBtitish Justce system – its finest hour Mugabe would be proud....

Sometimes you can only laugh. Not knowing what they said, the BBC said it.

"Middle-class" cocaine users have been accused by police and politicians of fuelling crime. But who actually uses the drug?

The problem, says the UK's most senior police officer, is a group of middle-class people who worry about "global warming and fair trade... but think there is no harm in taking a bit of cocaine".

1. Re-trial: Not speculating

2. "Changes"? Read again, TR did Not plead guilty. Judge Geoffrey Marson, press & SecBar lied.

What diversion? You claimed he was innocent because the trial was over. Where did you source that from?

Tommy Robinson faces a fresh trial, and evidence. He has not been acquitted. He will be facing Cross Examination. It is the same scenario that Michael Mann keeps avoiding. Both have a track record for dishonesty. What could possibly go wrong?

That is like Michael Mann writing a book, and presenting it as a factual account.

GC, explain please under what circumstances it is OK to treat anyone the way TR was treated, to do the various unlawful things which the appeal court reported. TRs behaviour or worthiness are not relevant.

No, no, no!

This is where you and others, especially Tommy Robinson are shooting the messengers. Why should Tommy Robinson get any credit at all for putting at risk trials intended to address problems that have not been adequately addressed in the past?

Should any Defendants not be convicted because of Tommy Robinson sabotaging trials, will he accept any responsibility for future victims?

Why was Tommy Robinson only involved in disrupting/ sabotaging trials involving one ethnic group? Why not pick on "Christians", responsible for more crimes in the UK than anyone else?

If any of the 2 / 3 / 4+? trials collapses, will you be cheering Tommy Robinson then?

Do you want a Legal System that can be sabotaged by demonstrators in the street, so that members of the most aggressive mobs never get convicted? Is Tommy Robinson really the hero that you want to give credit to?

Rhoda, the state our legal system is part of why I wanted to leave the EU. We need to reduce the number of barriers and excuses between what the public thinks is justice and what's actually delivered. Judges and lawyers have used EU confusion to do pretty much what they want. Any rule coming out of Parliament gets assaulted by 'the EU won't let us do that' at every turn and that's before they play their own games to see how far from the original intention they can get. Whether we'll take the Brexit chance to cut the Gordion Knot is another matter.

AK, there is plenty of ammunition with which to criticize the legal system. All I am criticizing is the use of the legal system to submit TR to a kangaroo court betrayal of process. They locked him up after a travesty of a trial. That is not only my opinion, it is that of the appeal court. I'm glad of the fact that the original injustice has been reviewed. Is it because of the mere resort to appeal or because it has become an international cause celebre? I don't know. But the fact remains that 'they' used the law to stitch up TR because (and I speculate) he is an irritation and undeserving of proper treatment.

I've been meeting a few barristers lately. In a social context. They all agree that the legal system is currently, well, screwed. ( I didn't discuss TR with them).
