More Criminality Hits London

[Gromit]

// A group of Tommy Robinson supporters has blocked off a major road in central London in a tense stand-off with police, who made several arrests.

Supporters chanted “Free Tommy Robinson” and hurled missiles and smoke bombs at police.

Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the capital and blocked off the road around Trafalgar Square.

A spokesperson for megasightseeing.com said: “Our London sightseeing bus was on its normal route when it got caught up in the demonstrations. The bus was stormed by demonstrators. “The demonstrators have caused a significant amount of damage to the bus, which meant it had to be towed away.

The Met said that as of 6.30pm, one person had been arrested for possession of an offensive weapon, two for assault on a police officer, a fourth for possession of a flare and a fifth for criminal damage to a bus. The Met will now look at CCTV footage of the demonstration. //

What is a football hooligan supposed to do on a Saturday afternoon, when the season has ended?

How very astute of you v-e (you don’t mind if I call you v-e do you?). Borderus Collieii.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Not at all.

[Zacs-Master]

Super.

I don’t condone violence or the wilful destruction of property but I suspect that the people howling in condemnation of the demonstrators would, in other circumstances, be rather less vocal and rather more supportive. Tommy Robinson speaks the uncomfortable truth.

Interesting, the left kick off and it's all support, this lot kick off and condemnation.

All vilent protest is wrong in my book and Robinson belongs in jail becaasue what he did was wrong and broke the law.

However, as Naomi says above Mr Robinson does speak some very uncomfortable truths that the Establishment would like stopped.

Has anyone seen him in Jail yet - is he still in one piece? He was whisked off faster than any other I have ever seen.

I wouldn't necessarily believe the media's reporting of this, Naomi.

For instance was Antifa there?

Be that as it may, I'm disappointed with the tactics. We're fighting the battle on the wrong terrain. Robinson did breach the terms of his suspended sentence irrespective of the contrivance and expedition with which he was banged up. And he pleaded guilty. Sorry Wilders was there.

"Free Tommy Robinson" isn't a useful slogan. But, seeing how efficient the organs of state are when addressing (in Douglas Murray's phrase) "the secondary causes", we might ask of those same organs of state "Why won't you stop Muslim gangs raping vulnerable girls?".

[mushroom25]

just to digress - and since it was mentioned -
the latin for "Nessie" turned out to be an anagram of "Monster Hoax by Sir Peter S"......

[Gromit]

Looks like this will be a weekly fixture during the close season.
When the counter protestors start to turn, there will be something for the rest of you to object to.

v_e, //I wouldn't necessarily believe the media's reporting of this, Naomi. //

I don't necessarily believe it - but if it suits their agenda others are only too happy to jump on any disingenuous bandwagon.

Apparently Robinson is in a gaol in Hull without a large M People population, or, at least, in a separate wing from them.

I think "they" may have worked out that while getting him off the streets is a "good thing" getting him killed is not.

[237SJ]

Why would you not believe the reporting of it? There is video footage.

[Gromit]

// we might ask of those same organs of state "Why won't you stop Muslim gangs raping vulnerable girls? //

There are 3 trials at the moment, which if successful prosecutions are the result, will lock away 19 rapists for several years.
A lot more of a protection that posting a rant on YouTube.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I’m interested in what aspect of the reporting we shouldn’t believe, too.

[Zacs-Master]

Indeed, Gromit. The ‘bringing to book’ of the perpetrators was taking place. No real need to ask that question.

[237SJ]

If anything, it was under reported " a group of Tommy Robinson supporters" There were hundreds of them!

[Gromit]

The video footage is posted on YouTube by the idiots committing the crimes. Just as Robinson’s own video stream feed was the evidence that convicted him.
They are publicity seekers. Robinson lives off of donations and advertisng money from his YouTube channel.

[Zacs-Master]

I heard a first hand account of his supporters behaviour in Leed, last night. Shirtless hooligans out for a scrap at any cost was the summation.

[Zacs-Master]

Leeds

[237SJ]

I have video footage of it (I`m not a supporter)

[naomi24]

237SJ, steel yourself for some horrifying pictures.
