I give thanks everyday that brave Galahad's like Tommy are stepping up and tackling this head on, and like you, I don't even care about his motives. I mean, motive may be an important factor in the law, but so what? It's just another example of PC culture running amok.

Some people show more anger towards a tweet by Trump or Rosanne than they do to an epidemic of children being groomed and raped. I don't believe they think that the tweets are worse, I just think they're afraid to speak out about the other.

I just wish you would actually READ my posts before reacting. You are correct about the perversion of - mainly Roman Catholic - clergy in this Country and their paedophilia and THIS is something which I have often written about and condemned. This issue is NOT what is being discussed here though, is it? The Authorities in this country has a historical record of 'shooting themselves in the foot' with some of their decisions and the decision to arrest Robinson is yet another because it has spectacularly and dramatically BACKFIRED on them. It has now given the Extreme Far-Right an opportunity to make capital out of it and the ensuing controversy has put them firmly in the spotlight which they can use to peddle their vile, racist bile. What is worse, is that thanks to this 'gift from the Authorities' there are now a lot of ordinary people who hitherto had never heard of Tommy Robinson who - having been angered by the details of his arrest - are being influenced to have 'sympathy' for him if not actually being converted to his cause. I said that his motives are secondary in this case to his message; reportage of the Grooming Gang trial - and they ARE. I have stated that in my opinion Robinson is vile and a racist so your last paragraphs are meaningless, but unlike you and others who irrationally seem to be outraged by my posts, as vile as I may find Robinson he is the ARCHANGEL ****ING GABRIEL in comparison to these evil Grooming Gang Members - yet I do not see ANY of you being at all outraged by them, well obviously not enough to post any condemnation of them like you have Robinson.

Judge Geoffrey Marson QC told him: “I respect everyone’s right to free speech. That’s one of the most important rights that we have. “With those rights come responsibilities. The responsibility to exercise that freedom of speech within the law. “I am not sure you appreciate the potential consequence of what you have done." Robinson's broadcast outside court put him in contempt of court. Offences like his can cause a trial to collapse, as the jury may be deemed unable to deliver a fair verdict - at great cost to the court (and therefore the British taxpayer). A mistrial means beginning the process all over again, with witnesses and alleged victims forced to give evidence a second time. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-new...inson-12616429

He wasn't filming or taking pictures though, he was broadcasting live. To be fair I don't know if there's different rules for that, but I'd imagine there may well be (as it's obviously harder / impossible to control the content of what's shared in a live stream)

Personal live streaming is new but for example news channels live streaming is not, but the news channels will be aware of the rules regarding broadcasting live from outside a trial. That's where the water gets muddy I guess with new technology. If the laws do exist, they are laws that weren't relevant to the general public until the last couple of years, because it's only in the last couple of years that anyone with a smartphone has been able to set up their own stream and broadcast to thousands of viewers. So people aren't necessarily aware of the rules surrounding this sort of thing. Unfortunately for Robinsom - as applies to every law - ignorance of the law is never considered a viable excuse for breaking it. e.g. someone wouldn't get away with drinking and driving just because they weren't aware that it was illegal.

Simply broadcasting that a trial is taking place may have been sufficient to break the law. If a judge has placed reporting restrictions on proceedings, that's it, there is no way round it unless it is overturned, and any form of publicising that the event was happening is going to get you in hot water. Just to add, that the reason it warranted Robinson being locked up was due to his previous history of criminal behaviour

"He was represented - I'm told - by a public defender" "A public defender who would not have expertise on contempt of court" (he has no way of knowing this; it's an assumption) "An I have no doubt that it was that solicitor who convinced him, that if you plead guilty" - This is nothing more than a flat out guess Then he finishes up by talking about how "other people do not understand what is happening in this case"... suggesting that he actually does... when he's just as much in the dark as anyone else .Flimsy. |
