What is RoP etc openly?

unless jury "locked up" the jurors can be influenced by everything they encounter.

It is cheaper for Taxpayers to lock-up Tommy Robinson than every Jury in every trial that he tries to disrupt, having been warned not to. This is not the way UK Law works, but Tommy Robinson believes he is a Social Justice Warrior

As a repeat offender, should there be a special Law for Tommy Robinson, or has UK Law demonstrated that it is not an ass?

stewgreen made an ass of himself last week, believing that Tommy Robinson's geographical location was a significant Legal Issue. Are you sure a Court Trial is "over" for the purpose of Contempt of Court, when the Jury has finished hearing evidence?

Yes Tommy Robinson deserves access to fair and impartial justice just as much as the Muslim paedophiles do.

So other parts of the judgement could similarly be unsound.

Do you consider that Tommy Robinson has an entitlement to better, equal or worse respect and treatment for Contempt of Court, than the Judge, Jury, Court Officers, Lawyers, CPS, Defendants and Witnesses in any of the trials he has disrupted?

Tommy Robinson is ready to take on the whole world, once he gets out of prison.

He could cause some difficulties within our Politically Correct Military, if he accidentally, but enthusiastically misread instructions on daily square bashing

Mr Hodgson: well… no. But you were discussing one particular group (many of whose aims may well be supported by more than you might realise), whereas I was referring to a far broader general population.

Ravishing Rattie

Did you post before reading my recent one or in response to it?

If you don't think that list of policies are far-right, then we're worlds apart.

A very good definition of far-right is circulating: anyone who is NOT far-left.

I think many of us here have problems with the excesses of some aspects of Islam, but here are Britain First's policies regarding Islam, taken from their website:

https://www.britainfirst.org/policies

-Disbar followers of the Islamic ideology from holding public office.

– Introduce a comprehensive ban on the religion of “Islam” within the United Kingdom. This ban will include the prohibition of halal slaughter, sharia courts, religious publications (such as the Koran, Hadiths), the operation of mosques, madrasas and “cultural centres” and the public preaching and / or teaching of Islamic scriptures and doctrines.

– Introduce a prohibition on the use of Islamic face coverings in public, such as the Burka.

- Anyone found to be promoting the ideology of Islam will be subject to deportation or imprisonment.

- Cease any further trade or commerce with Islamic countries, at least until they institute fair rights for women, basic human rights and fair elections.

Other policies include:

– Offer generous grants to those of foreign descent resident here who wish to leave permanently;

– Completely halt any further immigration except in special cases such as genuine marriages where strict citizenship criteria has been met;

– Reject and deport all “asylum seekers” who do not originate from countries bordering Britain;

– Make it an act of treason to implement any policy or measure, or sign any agreement, that facilitates and / or results in significant numbers of foreigners entering the sovereign territory of the United Kingdom with the aim of settling.

- Introduce a total ban on abortion like that in place in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

– The reintroduction of competitive sports and Christian assemblies;

Replace the present “multi faith” religious education curriculum with a new approach that focuses predominantly on Christianity.

- Greater influence of the Armed Forces in the education system, including day trips, training events and careers advise [sic].

– Scrap the entire “foreign aid” budget;

– Scrap all expenditure relating to immigration, such as translation costs, benefits etc;

- Greater promotion of organisations such as the Boy’s Brigade, Scouts, Brownies and Cubs to alleviate the scourge of anti-social behaviour on our streets.

- Greater promotion of Church groups and organisations within our communities to promote Christianity and community cohesion.

– Make all state benefits, housing and assistance available only to British citizens

– Greater use of National Service for habitual offenders;

– The restoration of Capital Punishment for paedophiles, terrorists and murderers;

– Make prisons a place of hard labour rather than cosy holiday camps;

– Introduce the use of “chain gangs” to provide labour for national public works;

- Introduce castration for convicted rapists and sexual offenders.

- Reintroduce firearms for law enforcement and border agencies.

- Any person found to be performing illegal abortions to be charged with the crime of murder.

– Introduce a total ban on the word “racism” in the media. The word “racism” has for too long been a weapon to undermine debate and to suppress discussion on important matters of nationhood, immigration and political correctness.

Each to their own, but they sound pretty far-right to me.
