Tommy Robinson In Ireland

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like our Tommy has got himself a new cause. As immigration and Mr Yaxley Lennon seem to be popular threads, this should blow some peoples minds:

Why just RedHelen, Stableford?

As for true haters, Spungle. A stupid comment. Live and let live? No

Robinson is far from welcome in Ireland.

I guess you are going to tell us there is nobody you hate?

Spungle - // Tommy Robinson is half Irish, in any case. He hasn't been able to stop the flood of illegal immigrants into the UK, so what help he'll be to them there is anyone's guess. //

'Tommy Robinson' is not about 'helping' anyone, except himself in terms of polishing his own hypocritical self-righteous utterly false persona, and lining his own pockets in the process.

[Spungle]

Andy, you make a point but not sure you're the number one person to be calling anyone else self-righteous! Tommy Robinson has as much right to go to Ireland and report as any other journalist.

And Gness- You might not like Tommy Robinson, that's fine, but wishing him harm is another matter altogether- that is hypocrisy. You don't speak for Ireland either, by the way.

[gness]

Why can I not speak for Ireland?

[Stableford]

It appears fine that some ABers can post that they wish someone to dissapear and be found face down in a river. Wow. Imagine what a world it would be if we all went round wishing that one each other. But because it's someone you don't like, it's allowed. Really?!

[gness]

Imagine a world without people like Robinson.

[Spungle]

Because, Guess, when you make ridiculous 'blanket' statements like 'He's not welcome' etc, you are presuming to speak on behalf of Ireland- and you don't, that's all. I notice Sinn Fein have got their knickers in a twist over his visit- perhaps they should concentrate on the actual terrorists and killers in their own ranks before doing any moralising.

[gness]

I know he's not welcome in Ireland, Spungle. He may have a little crowd of followers but I know what the majority of Irish folk think.

Aye, bliss...non of the grooming, trafficking or raping of kids would have happened.

Well, maybe it would have but we would be blissfully unaware.

[Spungle]

Gness, you may believe that you speak for Ireland. You don't.

[Spungle]

Well said, Roy. Ignorance is bliss to some people.

[andy-hughes]

Spangle, my perceived 'self righteousness' is a matter for a tiny number of grumble AB'ers.

'Tommy Robinson's self-righteousness is his profession, and because he parades it in public, he is fair game for criticism.

And he is Moy a journalist, he's a moron with a big mouth and a video camera.

Being a moron with a video camera doesn't make you a journalist, any more than driving to the shops makes you a Formula One champion.

[gness]

So who are you speaking for, Spungle?

If everything I read and everyone I've spoken with is against Robinson being in Ireland wishing he'd just disappear then I am voicing the opinion of the majority.

Bliss indeed, Roy. :-). I'm sure you know why I'd be happy to see dead everyone responsible for the abuse of children.

[Spungle]

Gness, unless you've spoken to over half the population and they all agree with your viewpoint, you don't speak on behalf of the majority of Irish. It simply means the people you choose to associate yourself with think the same as you do.

[Spungle]

I am speaking for myself, and for anyone else who finds wishing death on someone, on Answerbank of all places, despicable.

[gness]

I probably associate with a darn sight more Irish than you do, Spungle.
