UK: Tommy Robinson’s supporters boil over after court ruling
Ruptly ^ | 5/7/19

Previously, while listening on phone, heard very sympathetic interviews with Tommy, both prior to sentencing with crowd roaring outside, and from visiting Canadian journo while he is in jail. Now unavailable, for reasons I can't fathom. So here's the video of the demo, belatedly.

In brief, he's now doing nine months for the original "offense" of contempt of court, in special holding cell and in shouting communication with Julian Assange.

While there’s *some* Tommy support on FR it’s not nearly enough imo. What is happening to him isn’t just “UK business”, it’s the realization of an injustice which will make it over here.

There’s been other posts on this latest ruling. FYI...after time-served and other aspects he’s expected to be in prison for 66 days - not 9 months (fortunately). While they did put him in a Category A prison (worst violent offenders) for a non-violent “crime” (in quotes because it’s BS) he is separated from the general population. The warden seems to check on him daily and while he’s in solitary he does have access to gym equipment and receives plenty of emails.

Hopefully he’ll get out soon and that’ll be the end of this “crime”.

As one would expect from a small, island nation with an entrenched class system, British police and courts have always had obscure, dodgy aspects that the public is mostly ignorant about. The mistreatment of Tommy Robinson is especially offensive though in that the principle of a fair trial was used to suppress his freedom of speech and to favor and protect Muslim rape defendants. In effect, Tommy Robinson is imprisoned because he videotaped and posted videos of Muslim rape defendants leaving the courthouse. In the US, that is still called reporting on matters of public interest and is protected by the First Amendment.

It was after sentence had already been passed, so it could hardly have resulted in a mis-trial.

The fake news in England keeps trying to make him out as the second coming of Guy Fawkes and Adolf wrapped in one, and it seems that You Tube has taken down the account of one man’s meeting with him, shortly after I heard it on my phone while doing my work, before I could post a link to it, and a woman’s on air interview with him shortly before his sentencing.

He’s definitely an enema of the State, and a hard man to count out. The commoners have deep affection for him, and turn out in numbers to protest.

The real frightening part is that the media in the UK appear to have no concern for all of the secret trials. They complied with the gag order on the arrest of TR. Not only is there no Free Press now in the UK but the media don’t seem to mind - which can only mean they’re an extension of the establishment government.

Quite so. The British establishment decided long ago to embrace Muslim immigration in order to retain influence with Muslim nations, especially in regard to arms sales and the oil business. Muslim rape gangs in British cities are now just part of the price to be paid, so Tommy Robinson must be shut up.
