Tommy Robinson - Proving That You Don't Need Brains To Lead The Edl
Tommy Robinson, leader of the far right EDL, went to the house of Gary Moon, the editor of an anti-EDL website, took pictures of his front door, and then pictures of him holding up letters addressed to Mr Moon - proving that he'd been there.
Except it wasn't Gary Moon's flat. It was Garry Moon's flat - a man with no connection to the anti-EDL website:

This leaves the question - why did Tommy Robinson go to those lengths to track down Gary Moon? Why did he tweet pictures of Garry Moon's address to his followers on Twitter?
After Nick Griffin published the address of the gay couple who sued the Christian B&B (encouraging BNP members to deliver them 'some drama), should we now be wary of upsetting these thugs, lest we too get 'personal calls'?

@AoG. Yes, there are doubtless many many far more egregiously horrible events going on in the world right now. But, to paraphrase your own contribution here, at least initially - "so what"? As someone with around average-ish intelligence , I am able to think about and draw an opinion on more than one topic at a time. Its called multi- tasking. I am sure you are...

/// Don't they want an England for the pure English? ///
More scare tactics it would seem, if I am wrong please supply me with the proof of your assumption.
I am neither a member of the EDL or a supporter, but what I do support them in is their stated quest, and that is opposition to the spread of Islam in this country.
Are they be wrong in opposing this, just as others are allowed to oppose certain other things?

The worrying thing here is that Tommy Robinson felt it was an acceptable thing to do to publicise the address and front door of a person who was criticizing him on the internet. To a gang of people following him, of whom many possess convictions for assault.
Do you think this is a bad thing to do or not?

(incidentally, I feel I should say that unless AOG directly and specifically says that attempting to publicise the address and front door of a person who criticizes you on the internet is a bad thing to do, I will assume that he is in favour of it and I will make a point of raising it every time he ever tries to take the moral high ground on anything ever.)

/// Does Gromit support terrorists? ///
/// Bit strong. ///
Quite so if that is what I said, but it wasn't was it? and well you know it.
But still why bother with the truth when it seems that your attempt at character assassination seems to have taken off, judging by all the other anti-AOG sheep who couldn't wait to follow you into the pen. (or should that be onto the key board)?

Why should I be forced into doing what you want, just because you are openly blackmailing me, and don't say you are not, because it is plain for all to see, which is much more serious than your assumption into what I am thinking.
In fact if it wasn't for the fact that I want your blatant blackmailing to remain on record for all to see, I would report you.

Interesting this, how a persons response to a question that would have attracted the usual response from the anti-AOG brigade had I had entered a similar question.
My first response, Big Deal who cares? Just a mirror image of similar responses I have received in the past.
My second response criticising the use of certain words as 'idiots' although many on here are not slow to use such words against others, up goes the cries of "don't be rude" or "why are you being so rude" if they are used against themselves.
My third was in response to these words "These people are dangerous", once again it is quite all right for them to use such expressions, yet when I say them, out goes the cries of "stop being paranoid" and it's "more dangerous crossing the road" et etc.
The rest is history as they say.

Sounds very much like Blackmail to me.
I have neither said what he did was okay, neither did I say it was not, my opinion is irrelevant in a post that I find unimportant enough to take the moral high ground on, but I won't be blackmailed into not taking the moral high ground in the future, if I feel the subject matter is strong enough to do so.

Seems like some of you have become interested in my opinion all of a sudden.
