//How long will it be before Tommy is accused of trying to subvert members of the British Armed Forces. These kids, in the video, are just fresh out from basic training where they have learnt which foot is the Left one and how to Salute. Now they are going to discharge one because of a photo.//
OK, first of all, as I keep repeating like a broken record, these soldiers are not 'kids' they are adults in full-time employment as professional soldiers - with the responsibilities that their profession and their employer places on them.
Second of all, the dismissed soldier was not dismissed 'because of a photo' - again in cracked record mode, 'Tommy Robinson' filmed himself with the soldiers and stuck the film on social media, thus leading to the potential conclusion that British Army soldiers support him, and his stated ideals and objectives.
Thirdly, the soldier placed his own version on social media, with an inappropriate comment, which, added to his previous poor disciplinary record, led the army to dispense with his services.
And in conclusion, the notion that 'Tommy Robinson' could 'subvert' anyone or anything, including a British solider is too laughable for words.
You need intelligence and empathy to subvert someone - 'Tommy Robinson' couldn't subvert a stray cat!
