There is not doubt Tommy is a political prisoner.
The support he is getting cant be ignored.
Now it is protests, next it will be violence.
People have reached breaking point.
Do you agree?
Robinson/Yaxley/Lennon is as stupid as he is odious.
His ego persistently gets in the way of what actually needs to be done. He needs to wind his neck in and let Justice take its' course; especially when there is an on-going court case, hopefully, putting abusers away for a long time.
If he (or any of his equally bone-headed supporters/followers) cause a case to collapse, or give grounds for appeals, I take it he/they will be roundly applauded for 'Keeping it real' ?
// Like the Suffragettes did? Where would this country be without protest?//
well I have researched this as well - what about that violent Emily Davison and the poor King's horse ? - just as tora is celebrating the deaths of the taggers in another thread - good job SHE went on her way - but the horse had to be put down didnt it?
and what about the time when the suffragettes machine gunned the Home Secretary ?
Murraymints, It's a valid comparison in my opinion. They broke the law and were destructive with it - but they did it for what they believed in just as he did it for what he believes in. There's a point of principle here.
Tommy is not a political prisoner. He is a thug who deserves to be exactly where he is. Just because people support him is irrelevant. People love and support serial killers, doesn't make them any less dangerous.
Murraymints, you can't compare it because you regard him as a bonehead acting for self-promotion. I disagree. I think he speaks a lot of truth and therefore I can compare it.
yeah I think I must be educated on suffragettes ...
they didnt go round saying - we shouldnt be punished for 1) burning down Ld Doodahs house or 2) bombing places
free the suffragettes!
they did it knowingly - in anticipation of being arrested and imprisoned in order to get all that lovely publicity
the leddy who chained herself to Buckingham Palace - her defence wasnt that she had a right to do that and so shouldnt go to the slammer - - - or was it?
