Saw this story on Twitter so googled 'Tommy Robinson unconscious'
Now just to be clear I had never heard of speisa.com, so if it turns out to be a website that attacks Jewish people that does not make me an antisemite.

I for one love Peter Pedant's posts.

They're like Ingmar Bergman films...difficult to understand at first, but when you get them, you feel a bit proud of yourself.

I join you in hoping Tommy recovers soon

what did I mean ? - your grammar's crap andie

[Mamyalynne]

Gold star to sp :-)

Peter Pedant - //I join you in hoping Tommy recovers soon

So it appears, is your eyesight! That is not what I posted - I posted this -

//I hope I join others in wishing Mr Robinson a speedy recovery.//

Which is perfectly correct grammatically.

If you can manage to comment on my post, not your mangled version of it, and you can spell my name correctly, then we will be getting somewhere.

You should count your blessings, andy. He spells my name 'lumphead'. ;o)

Perhaps it was his wife. For forgetting to get her a 'Valentine' card.

Nothing wrong with a bit of messing with a fellow ABers name IMO. On this occasion I agree with andie ... I have no idea what Billy Bonkers is going on about.

//I hope I join others in wishing Mr Robinson a speedy recovery.//

I can't discern whether that means andy wants others to wish for a speedy recovery, so that he can join them. Or he wonders whether he will when they do.

Togo - ////I hope I join others in wishing Mr Robinson a speedy recovery.//

I can't discern whether that means andy wants others to wish for a speedy recovery, so that he can join them. Or he wonders whether he will when they do. //

It's the first option.

Happy to clarify.

Ahh. O.K. andy. Syntax is a devil is it not? Grammatically correct is not always enough. The following sentence is grammatically correct but makes little sense.
"Colourless green ideas sleep furiously."

The last time Tommy was beaten up (he claimed it was by a gang of Asians), it turned out to have been a drunken falling out with his Luton football hooligan chums.

So I will wait for the facts this time before speculating what might have happened.

Strange that no national news organisations are yet reporting an incident, and no word from the police.

he was on a night out with his wife.... and where was she?

[Togo]

I have been told that Robinson was attacked by the Luton Migs.(Men In Gear)
A football hooligan mob, for upsetting their no 2.

I found a link here. If you scroll down to the bottom to the posts and comments the language is not pretty.

[jackthehat]

That's from 2011, Togo......

Mind you perhaps they enjoyed it so much 5 years ago that they've had another go?

he seems to have predicted all this and some are makiing the connection he would like them to

More here:-

Helen Gower, his personal assistant, told IBTimes UK: "Tommy was waiting outside the club while his wife got their coats when he was jumped from behind. Someone hit him in the back of his head with something. He was found unconscious after an unknown person rang an ambulance and left him. The back of his head was split open and he was taken to hospital for an x-ray and CT scan."

The incident was said to have taken place on the evening of Saturday 13 February while Robinson was out with his wife and friends at Club 195, a nightclub in Cottis Lane, Epping. It is not yet fully known who is responsible or how the attack unfolded

thanks agchristie

[Togo]

So it is jth. I emailed someone for any info and was sent the link. Should have checked the date. May well be a Muslim attack on him then.

[agchristie]

Togo > May well be a Muslim attack on him then.

Let's face it,it could be anyone! One must keep an open mind.
