Why You Shouldn't Be A ***

Someone who wants to join a political position should probably not repeatedly punch someone for pouring a drink over them. He's an antagonistic ***.

"Oh so you are associating Muslims with wasps? "
No, that was a metaphor for.. 'if you antagonise something, expect a retaliation'. It had nothing to do with religion.

So what though, spath? Even not liking him... nobody should be assaulted when doing their job (or at any other time...). It is not a case of, if you are a politician... or a loudmouth, you should expect it. People should be treated properly anyway. And as I said, I think both were wrong, but why only concentrate on him?

//He was surrounded by them. When he threw the milkshake they all grabbed him whilst tommy beat him.//

No he wasn't 'surrounded by them' at all- he could have easily walked away at any point and they didn't even all grab him whilst 'tommy beat him'- he wasn't beaten, people pulled them apart and got between them and someone is heard saying 'Tommy, Tommy, Tommy - don't now...'.
Are you even watching the same video a we are?

"People should be treated properly anyway."

Well in my opinion Tommy has set the standard with his generalisations and sweeping statements. It causes offence, this is the retaliation and in my opinion, it's brilliant. They could have hit him, they didn't. Worse things can happen to you in life than a bit of spilt milk.

Ok calico i guess we saw different things. I saw 5 men around one lad, when he threw the shake all of the men grabbed him. Brave indian chap really, especially with tommys record.

erm didnt Hague taunt two jags Prescott with

ahh the 2001 election - at least I got thro it without hitting anyone ....

[spathiphyllum]

" someone is heard saying 'Tommy, Tommy, Tommy - don't now...'. "
Because we know if he wasn't stopped, tommy would have beat him until he was unconscious. He may have even carried on after that. Not someone who should be an MEP.

[spathiphyllum]

A aspiring MEP fighting minor violence, with full blown punches. Assault with liquid is nothing compared to punching someone.

[pixie374]

Worse things can happen, yes. But having drink thrown over you is not a reasonable thing to put up with. I can't say I would punch someone who did that, but I would be fairly annoyed.
It looks like your (understandable lol) dislike of him is making you see this a bit lopsidely.

//Brave indian chap really, especially with tommys record.//

Ruddy stupid Indian chap, if, as you say he was surrounded by superior numbers. Cheeky Chappy should have walked if he felt intimidated and kept his milkshake to himself. He should be fined for litter.

[spathiphyllum]

The reason i'm seeing it lopsided is because everything that comes out of tommys mouth is hate speech. Most action i've seen him do has been violent and aggressive. The guy is a convicted fraudster. He has been convicted for assault more than twice.. He is running for MEP.. that's a problem. So many racist idiots will vote for him. He should have no power at all let alone be an MEP. He should have no platform. Many have cancelled his platform, and rightly so. It may seem lopsided, but this guy is a danger to society and an antagonist for awful crimes..

//Well in my opinion Tommy has set the standard with his generalisations and sweeping statements. It causes offence, this is the retaliation and in my opinion, it's brilliant. //

No it's really not brilliant though is it? You can't fight racism, fascism or indeed any ism by chucking milkshake over anyone, you just look like an out of control idiot if you do and it serves no purpose. This will be spun to suit Robinson's own agenda now, they will be loving all this. It's the blind leading the blind, like some sort of Moron Hunger Games :/

[spathiphyllum]

"as you say he was surrounded by superior numbers. "

It is quite easy to compare bravery to idiocy. However i'm glad you noticed the numbers compared to him.

[THECORBYLOON]

"Because we know if he wasn't stopped, tommy would have beat him until he was unconscious." Really?

[spathiphyllum]

Calico i said 'in my opinion'. You can't argue that. It is what it is. You can try to change it, but with the sheer volume of material i've seen on tommy R (maybe one bit good, 99% bad ) you'll need to source a hell of a lot of material to contradict my opinions.

[Calicogirl]

So you personally get to decide who can and can't stand for election and who has a platform for free speech? Can you hear yourself? Christ on a bike...

[spathiphyllum]

""Because we know if he wasn't stopped, tommy would have beat him until he was unconscious." Really?"

I've seen nothing to prove that thought wrong. He's an aggressive man and clearly has a screw loose.

[spathiphyllum]

"So you personally get to decide who can and can't stand for election and who has a platform for free speech? Can you hear yourself? Christ on a bike..."


No, i personally get to have an opinion.

[spathiphyllum]

Or are you saying i'm not allowed to think what i do about Tommy Robinson? And if so, Why?

[Calicogirl]

//He is running for MEP.. that's a problem. So many racist idiots will vote for him. He should have no power at all let alone be an MEP. He should have no platform. //

Yes and this is your opinion. Do you not see what is wrong with it, however much you, or I for that matter, might dislike Tommy Robinson?

// Brave indian(sic) chap really //

Could be a British Citizen spath, unless of course you know different.
