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?

// The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: "During the protest there were scenes of violence which saw bottles, metal barriers and other objects thrown at officers.
"Five officers have reported injuries, which are not serious. //

Violence caused by Tommy Robinson supporters may be true, half-true, or totally false.

You wouldn't base your judgment on what the media are telling you.

[vetuste_ennemi]

//Tommy fighting for our freedoms

One of the things he was fighting for was the protection twelve year old girls from rape.

Not heart-warming perhaps.

Good for a joke though, isn't it?

[vetuste_ennemi]

The lower down the moral food chain the funnier it gets.

Isn't that right, Peter?

[Peter Pedant]

// Violence caused by Tommy Robinson supporters may be true, .....//

surely "reporting of violence by TR supporters may be true ...."

I dont think a statement like "this is false violence, babies!" carries much meaning - but it may be me - hot day muggy.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Tell you what, Peter. Tickets to Bedlam. Reduced rates for parties. Bring your mates round to mock the afflicted.

[Kromovaracun]

Pathetic

[Peter Pedant]

// One of the things he was fighting for was the protection twelve year old girls from rape. //

so that excuses everything does it
his long criminal record ....
wiped because he was fighting for the protection of 12 y o and that was all

at least one of us is being disingenuous

[Peter Pedant]

o dear I thought no one was reading this thread ....

[Kromovaracun]

He wasn't imprisoned for defending children though, was he?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Orwell wrote a novel about anti-fascist posturers called "Coming up for Air".

Haven't read it, but get what the point.

[vetuste_ennemi]

//so that excuses everything does it//

Dear, dear, dear.

Rape is worse than double parking.

Shame on you and your fellow clowns for conflating these criminal extremes.

[Kromovaracun]

If you haven't read it, why mention it?

[vetuste_ennemi]

ping-pong ball on nose - whiskers twitch - do pinniped version of clapping hands.

You don't have to like Robinson or deny that he's guilty of breach of whatever innit.

The organs of state should redirect their legalistic zeal to the prosecution of rapists.

At some point moral and legal coincide. Too often they diverge.

[Zacs-Master]

‘If you haven't read it, why mention it?’

Pure ‘look at me, aren’t I ejukated’ effect?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Is that Nessie poking its head above the waters?

[Zacs-Master]

I’d have thought you’d at least know the Latin for Nessie, v-e?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Nope, nearest I can get is nescio.

Know wot I mean.

[vetuste_ennemi]

You don't mind if I call you ZM, do you?

Always assumed that your sobriquet meant you owned a dog.

That and your pertinent question on the "trained" cats thread constituting only the two qualities you've advertised about yourself which I like.
