I had not heard of Tommy Robinson until posts here about Oldham (?) 6 months ago ish. He does have a Wikipedia entry, which I looked at yesterday. He does have a history of confrontation, with the Establishment and individuals. None of this is a reason to exclude him from expressing an opinion, whether it is shared by others or not.
He has picked up on long term abuse by a sub culture within the Moslem community. I certainly sympathise with the views first expressed by Enoch Powell about forced multiculturalism.
The Politically Correct Establishment believe that discrimination on grounds of race creed culture etc is only a crime if committed by an English White Anglo Saxon Protestant, aganst a non-White Anglo Saxon Protestant. The Politically Correct Establishment has brushed problems under the carpet, and accused anyone raising issues of being a racist.
Splits opened up in British Politics leading to the rise of Nigel Farage's UKIP and ultimately BREXIT. Without Farage, UKIP have lost direction (he should be given a Peerage) Others have tried to fill the void, with little success, despite the rise in EU Exit Parties throughout the EU. The Politically Correct Progressives throughout the UK and EU are now in panic mode.
As he had been warned, formally, in Court of the consequences should he ignore the warning, why didn't Tommy Robinson wait until after Reporting Restrictions had been lifted? Can any of TR's supporters/sympathisers explain this? Did anyone from the Politically Correct Establishment tell him to go to the Court and start a live Broadcast?
If the EU had drained its own swamp years ago, BREXIT would not have had my marginal support. I am now more pro BREXIT and Trump than I was.
TR has apologised for his actions. He had a Lawyer, but no defence for his own stupidity. The Politically Correct Establishment can point at Tommy Robinson as an example of how dangerous anyone is, if they challenge Authority. What has he achieved with this publicity stunt?

If T May wants to make any progress with Brexit - she needs to talk to the organ-grinder NOT the monkey.here

The jury spent all day (or what passes for all day in a court - 10 'til 4) considering their verdicts in the Leeds Crown Court case in Court 12. They'll be back again to continue tomorrow. The current trial is not over yet.
It doesn't add up...
All happening in plan sight ......
None so blind as those who don’t wish to see here

Tommy this, an' Tommy that ...an' Tommy go away
The judge in the case, one Geoffrey Marson, spent all of four minutes on trying, convicting and sentencing Robinson. It is not clear whether that leisurely tribunal included his order expressly forbidding "any report on these proceedings"
Does the four minutes include the time he stood at window with arresting police woman telling her "arrest him, he's going down"? Verdict before trial?

Whoever you are – black, white, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, Golf, young, old, rich, poor, gay, straight, left or right – if you dare to dispute the absolute power and control of the State, you will be picked off and destroyed.
Blair's legacy of packing HoL, Civil Service, Police, Judiciary, Quangos, MSM... with Left PC SJWs who loathe the electorate will remain with us until a strong Conservative PM reverses it.
@GC, you may dislike TR; do you dislike not being free to openly discuss RoP crimes, LGBTxyz etc on bus/train, in cafe/pub?

Thanks @Golf I go with facts I don't have to trade insults
(BTW why say he ignored advice , when he was following his legal advice AFAIK)
If anyone else is interested Ezra Levant who started as a Canadian lawyer
His 1 hour video goes through the case and the BBC reporting of it
Pointing out things like that the names and charges pf the 29 are listed on a BBC webpage
He also compares this case to previous Contempt of court cases.
\\ George Galloway's former assistant broke TWO court-ordered publication bans 26 TIMES.
She was convicted of contempt of court but sentenced to just 12 weeks //
Interesting ..truth should come out in time.
Today's newspapers all contained almost idendical hit pieces against TR, full of misrepresentation and false narrative.
Exactly the same as when they were promising to soon present the Trump Moscow prostitutes video

Taxpayers Money To Bribe Blacks To Be Green
Will Norman, Sadiq Khan's new cycling tsar claimed.
Too few females and people from ethnic minority backgrounds are taking to two wheels around the capital and the Mayor's office could introduce 'diversity targets' to combat the figures.
...
The way in which the gap will be filled, Mr Norman says, is through projects cycling courses and grants for community groups who do not typically cycle.
If bribes don't work to meet diversity targets; then what?

I am perfectly willing to stipulate the TR did not act wisely if he wanted to avoid retribution.
However. Islam is a problem to the UK way of life without any extremism or terrorism being involved. Ordinary Islamic believers cannot carry out the basics of their religion (their culture, their behaviour, not their race) side-by-side with British secular people without problems. I am not in the least worried by terrorism. I am worried by the establishment's creeping acceptance of Islamic practices out of tune with our own culture and tradition. And by the way they come down on anyone who points it out. Oh, and if you don't think 'they' have been gunning for TR for years you are giving them a lot of your confidence with no justification. This is not equal rights under the law.

That is how I first came across The Secret Barrister.
He also explains that the arrest for "Breach of the Peace" is a Legal Red Herring.

I want to see the perpetrators of crimes against vulnerable children arrested, imprisoned, stopped, deterred etc.
After years of neglect by the Establishment, this is now starting to happen. Tommy Robinson almost blew the chances of the victims. Why do you think he was right to do what he did, WHEN he did?
