Pegida To Launch In U K

[ChillDoubt]

Tommy Robinson will be the face of Pegida in the UK. Athe founder of the EDL, it appears he has renounced his past. Has he grown up enough to take on his new task though....?

Talbot...actually I am beginning to think that I used the word articulate unwisely, if this Newsnight interview is anything to go by ::: ( not sure if this is going to work, as AB has a problem with BBC footage )

8 after the q.

[mikey4444]

Didn't think it would work, so try this (Paxo interview from 13:38 onwards )

I would never have said TR is articulate, but when he says something sensible you can not just dismiss it because it is TR saying it.

[Zacs-Master]

No but you can ask yourself WHY he's saying it. And no, it's not to be taken at face value. The mans an egotistical thug.

[-Talbot-]

What crimes of a thugish nature has he been convicted of?

[THEMOTLEY1]

Mikey4444, any chance of an answer to my question from 1145?

[Gavmacp]

My father fought in WW11 and lost his leg. Years later he was humiliated by someone due to his disability. I asked him if he was hurt. He said no that is why he fought.

[-Talbot-]

Very interesting, Gav.

?

[Zacs-Master]

2005 for assault.

Mikey4444, any chance of an answer to my question from 1145?
It's been an hour now, is there a problem?

[Gavmacp]

It's called democracy!

[-Talbot-]

So one incident (2003?) Isn't everyone allowed a mistake?

[-Talbot-]

Is there two threads running concurrently here?

[THECORBYLOON]

He used someone else's passport to get into America but hey, it was only for one day...

[douglas9401]

It's being discussed in committee and will be replied to in the fullness of time, Motley.

Or not.

I'd never heard of this guy until he started popping up on AB now and then. I heard him speak on the R4 one evening this week and taken at face value everything he said made absolute sense.
To add a large number of people did bad stuff when they were young or held extreme views, people can mellow. I mean, I used to vote Labour.

"On 8 November 2011, Robinson held a protest on the rooftop of the FIFA headquarters in Zürich against the organisation's ruling that the England national football team could not wear a poppy symbol on their shirts. He was fined £3,000 and jailed for three days."

Good on yer Tommy! Would anyone like to now defend FIFA ?
