Boris May March But Tommy Not

[Khandro]

Does it not seem outlandish that Robinson was taken out of the anti-Semitism march by the police?

> Robinson is far right?

Yep.

> Hizb-ut-Tahrir

Yep, that's far-right too.

[Togo]

//and say the same things as, far-right people ...//

Like Hizb-ut-Tahrir? 

You are twisting in the wind like a dream catcher. You need to reduce either your intake or your output. Maybe both. 

[Ellipsis]

"You are twisting in the wind like a dream catcher" - oh, please, don't make personal attacks! Especially when it's you that's the one that's twisting ...  I suspect you know how both Tommy Robinson and Hizb-ut-Tahrir can both be described as far-right.

[Togo]

 Hizb-ut-Tahrir can be called far right??? Yet not be sanctioned by you or the forces of law and order or the legacy media? They are the nice side of far right then I take it. Haha you are painting youself into a corner that will be a reference point for every subsequent post that you make. Clown posts tend to do that. 

[fripfrip]

far-right a label all the lefties hang on anyone who does not agree with them,tommy was well within his rights to go on the march,pity the police are not so vigilant on the monument climbers.

[naomi24]

I'm not sure how I should describe someone who objects to one man offering support to Brirish Jews.  What would you suggest, ellipsis?  

[Ellipsis]

> Yet not be sanctioned by you or the forces of law and order or the legacy media?

I won't speak here for the forces of law and order or the legacy media, but I have the same regard for Hizb-ut-Tahrir as I do for any other far-right organisation - which is "None".

[Ellipsis]

> I'm not sure how I should describe someone who objects to one man offering support to [British] Jews.

"Supporting" them would be doing as they politely requested. Since he did not do that, he did not support them. But if had supporting them, by doing as they politely requested, then perhaps they would have said something like "Thank you for your understanding".

[Togo]

More met hi-viz jackets around Robinson than there were around the war dead monuments that were desecrated. Dystopian. 

[naomi24]

So how should I describe someone who objects to a man supporting Jews, ellipsis?

[Ellipsis]

You're going back on old ground and away from the OP, Togo.

On the OP:

1) Campaign Against Antisemitism organises a march

2) Campaign Against Antisemitism asks Tommy Robinson not to attend

3) The march starts

4) Tommy Robinson attends

5) Tommy Robinson is arrested

6) Far-right Khandro finds it "outlandish" that far-right Robinson is "taken out of the anti-Semitism march"

It doesn't seem outlandish to me ...

[Togo]

Err you didn't even attempt to answer this! 

The organisers  of the Remembrance Day ceremonies asked the supporters of hamas not to attend    ...   they did anyway. Non were singled out for arbitrary arrest.

 

Vee are asking ze kvestions ja?

He is not supporting Jews, but you are supporting him.  Here he is:

Robinson's birth name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley. The name Tommy Robinson is a pseudonym taken from a prominent member of the "Men In Gear" (MIG) football hooligan crew, which follows Luton Town Football Club. The name successfully hid Robinson's identity as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his criminal history, until the connection was uncovered in July 2010 by Searchlight magazine. Robinson has also used the names Andrew McMaster, Paul Harris, Wayne King, and Stephen Lennon. 

Robinson has a long-standing criminal record. His convictions include for violence, stalking, financial and immigration frauds, drug possession and public order offences. He has been committed to prison for contempt of court. He has served at least four separate terms of imprisonment: in 2005 for assault, in 2012 for using false travel documents (a friend's passport in the name Andrew McMaster) to enter the United States, in 2014 for mortgage fraud, and, in May 2018, Robinson was committed to prison for 13 months for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court, contravening a court order that disallows reporting on such trials while proceedings are ongoing. On 1 August 2018, due to procedural errors, he was released on bail pending a new hearing of the case. On 5 July 2019, Robinson was again found guilty of contempt of court at the retrial and was committed at the Old Bailey to nine months in prison on 11 July․ Before his sentencing, Robinson appeared on InfoWars and appealed for political asylum in the United States. He was released from prison on 13 September 2019 after serving 9 weeks.

On 22 July 2021, Robinson was found to have libelled a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs, although Robinson had filed for bankruptcy in March 2021. In October 2021, he was made subject to a five-year stalking order for harassing the journalist Lizzie Dearden and her partner.

Now, Naomi, given that 100,000 genuinely were "supporting Jews", why are you focus on one man, Tommy Robinson, who wasn't.

That isn't this OP. It is old ground. But what's the question I didn't answer - is it "Non were singled out for arbitrary arrest - why not? " Because you didn't say "- why not?", I've added that. If that's the question then my answer is "I don't know".  I'm not the police. I could guess the answer, like you could, but (unlike you) I don't guess an answer and then publish it on AnswerBank, as if it was a fact, in order to make a point that I can't substantiate.

[tomus42]

He's not a particularly law abiding person.

Having caused trouble and 'clashed with police' a couple of weeks ago at the Cenotaph for no apparent reason, he and his cronies were probably on their list of *** to be kept away from the march at all costs.

[Togo]

Haha  ...   tells me that I am going back over old ground and then (you're ahead of me now I bet) ploughs a field of old ground to make further hollow arguments in support of his stance on unsafe ground. Twisting the night away. 

[tomus42]

You sometimes sound a tad unhinged Togo. Focus on addressing the question would be my advice.

[royfromaus]

The unhinged are the ones who can watch something and pretend they have watched something else.

[Atheist]

It's interesting to hear who support Robinson. And who go through hoops to make him out as a defender of truth, fairness, honesty and a peaceful seeker after justice and international understanding.

[royfromaus]

Perhaps some just support the truth?
