Described as a right wing thug when it is totally wrong. He is not racist and has only ONE platform, and that is claiming back our country from violent gang raping Muslims. He had four Muslims at his wedding. They of course we're not terrorists. Grow up, wake up, he is a victim for standing up for you and me. Be ashamed you keyboard crusaders.

One man has an altercation with, according to the headline, [a group of around seven] masked left-wing extremists – and the same headline brands him a thug? How does that work then?

Talbot. Don't waste your time, Gromit wasn't there and knows no more than anyone else does, except what is gleaned from the biased press and police but still sees himself as judge, jury and executioner.

I find it also ironic, how despite the fact that everyone on AB is using an alias (bar a couple), there are those both here and on the links who try to denigrate him because he uses one. The reason he did so was to try to protect his family who are in constant danger from real (Muslim) hooligans.

[Gromit]

Apparently Robinson has set up his own news agency and this was a product of that. He needs your donations, so keep them coming. This first clip we can see Tommy desperately hoping someone had recorded his live feed (because he hadn’t had time to set up his video equipment). Like he had arranged for a confrontation.



All good telly. If you want more, send them donations!

[Gromit]

The clip above was Tommy walking from McDonalds to the Muslim Community Centre. The police are waiting for him. He tries to start another fight and the police turn him away.

The clip of Tommy hoping someone recorded the live feed is here...

// Talbot- Of the pub video, it looks like Lennon was confronted... by the police. //
Yes he was. He is a convicted football hooligan, and the police were there to prevent trouble.

[Tilly2]

He's a one, isn't he?

[Theland]

Oh come on! He is victimised by the police.
Watch his video from the Oxford Union!

[-Talbot-]

The police were the ones causing trouble.

No point really carrying on with this, because you and many others have no intention of being objective.

[Gromit]

-Talbot,

It is going to Court. A date has been set. The police have allocated tens of thousands of pounds to defend the action.
Maybe we can pick this up after the court verdict.

[-Talbot-]

My confidence in British police and the courts is getting truly tested.

Sticking strictly to the OP's points - from the video, it is quite clear that 'Tommy Robinson' is at least as willing to fight as his provocateurs. He could have walked back into the restaurant and asked for the police to be called. Instead, he advanced, throwing a punch as he did so.

There is no evidence whatsoever of the political leanings of the group of men involved.

'Tommy Robinson' is called a thug because he is a thug, but his own admission, and by his police record.

Do I condone this violence? Not in the least.

Do I think the OP's protest that 'Tommy Robinson' is described as a thug is of the mark? Absolutely.

'Tommy Robinson' is a thug, and could have avoided this trouble very easily by walking back into the restaurant and asking for the police to be called. He waded in throwing punches because that is what thugs do - and he is a thug.

Comedy gold.

[andy-hughes]

Talbot - perhaps you'd be kind enough to point it out?

Have I missed the hammer-and-sickle motives on their hoodies?

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // Tommy Robinson is a hero standing up for everything I believe in. //

If you think brawling in the street is 'heroic', then he can be your hero.

I don't think he looks especially 'heroic' in this clip, but then, I never did.

Strange thing to say given your previous comment.

He's certainly changed a lot since the 2,4,6,8, Motorway days.

I am not sure why?

I am pointing out that there is no obvious indications that the thugs involved are left-wing, and you seemed to find that amusing.

I merely asked for your evidence that they are left-wing, if you can see something in the video that I have missed.

Fabulous - I'm going to file that under "I wish I'd said that!!!"
