@reallymakesyouthink Outside a courtroom, but within its precincts. The state always gets Tommy of a technicality.

@ But what when the law is manipulated for political purposes, as in this case? And why are TR's sentences so severe in relation to the crime? Make no mistake. This is lawfare, not justice.

@reallymakesyouthink He didn't film in court. He filmed people on the steps of the court and in ignorance that this TECHNICALLY was in breach of the law. I can find no other cases of the law in this regard ever being cited,, so comparisons are impossible. He is currently serving an 18 month sentence in solitary in a high category prison for a civil offence which many people believe ought to have merited - at the very most - a much shorter sentence in an open prison. But Tommy is Tommy. He gets treated differently.

@reallymakesyouthink They do. One of the points made is that photographs and films are frequently taken of defendants going in and out of court, with no charges being brought. You are defending the indefensible. Whatever your views on TR might be, it is clearly wrong for the law to be so egregiously manipulated and applied in order to punish a political dissident.

@reallymakesyouthink In his autobiography TR claims that he was approached in the early days of the EDL by apparent representatives of the security services, who tried to persuade him to act as a double agent. He turned the offer down and believes that this at the root of his continued persecution. To me, that story rings true.

Why should he have handlers? He's his own man.

@reallymakesyouthink A law brought into play in order to punish someone for things other than the law which was broken.

@reallymakesyouthink We agree on one thing: he should have read Essential Law for Journalists before deciding to become one! But this doesn't alter the essential fact that he is being persecuted by the establishment and that this only reinforces the sense of grievance which so many working-class people in Britain feel today.

@ Well he's got something to cry about, hasn't he? Actually he strikes me as being brave to the point of folly.

@There are going to be plenty of tears shed before long.

Time to take sides, I'm afraid. Tommy Robinson is the true voice of the scandalously neglected British working class. The other lot are a bunch of middle-class lefty muddleheads, shepherded into an ersatz opposition by forces of which they are not even aware.

They want total control and for all other religions to be outlawed.

@reallymakesyouthink What about sentencing? Why are TR's sentences always so severe in relation to his offences? Make no mistake. He has a target on his back because he refused to act as an agent for the security services in their attempts to control right-wing opinion. This is not justice. This is political chicanery manipulating justice.

Omelettes? Eggs?

A somewhat false analogy. Tommy and his supporters ARE the far right. Reform are basically middle-class ex-Tories who won't vote LibDem because they are too lefty.
