A strangely non event budget which may- or not -prove smart in these over excitable times. The Mail cdn’t find anything nasty to say so in desperation it splashed with the sketch (!) by hitman Quent’ . Never seen that before. Do readers get a rebate, it’s meant to be a NEWSpaper
You sound like a sincere man, Farai. So well done for defending Stephen aka “Tommy.” But a warning : he’s a rogue and he’s on the take.forget his “ patriotic” nonsense and don’t give him any more holiday money. He’s got enough
The Tommy Robinson case is a political hit job.
This trial is the ultimate blueprint for how the system handles people who don't fall in line. You don't even have to like the guy to see exactly how the British courts just exposed themselves.
For years, Robinson has been on the front lines exposing grooming gangs, tracking mass unregulated immigration, and sounding the alarm on the erosion of British culture.
His tireless work to save the UK made him an enemy of an establishment desperate to hide the truth. Because they couldn't silence his journalism, they went after his family.
Mainstream media tracked Robinson's ex-wife and children to a holiday spot in Cyprus and slapped their faces on the front page during peak UK tensions.
That is targeted endangerment, plain and simple. But when the state protects the press, doxxing an activist's young kids is called "journalism."
When Robinson turned the tables, hiring investigators to find the editors and warning them he would make their families famous, the entire establishment panicked.
They couldn't handle the exact same energy they dish out daily. Suddenly, accountability became a "criminal threat."
The prosecution literally admitted in court that Robinson's messages contained zero actual threats of violence. Read that again. No violence. Yet, the British legal system spent weeks of court time and taxpayer money to treat this media dispute like a major national security threat.
While the UK government is actively letting violent criminals out of prison early because their cells are full, they are perfectly happy to reserve a space for a citizen journalist who pushed back against corporate bullies. The priorities are entirely backwards.
This isn't about harassment; it's about a state-backed hit job designed to make an example out of a man who loves his country.
You’re right, Dave, except on your sneer that being convinced that a MP+minister is “ not a real job”. It’s daunting and many (most?) successful business types fail when they try en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_H…
Odd verdict. It’s true that Farage is a glib plausible snake oil spokesman. But Dodgy Bob lacks these qualities . I predict this short fused pair will fall out. Nige does not like ambition in his minions
Rusbridger and I don’t live together in Barking or anywhere else. Where I live nearly half residents are ethnic minority or foreign born . I imagine Rusbridger’s answer wd be similar. Yr preoccupation with race misses the more important factors: education, income, class
Here are the more nuanced figures from the 2021. Census. But the claim here is broadly true
Was “Tommy” Yaxley-Robinson breaking the law when he urged crowd of 60k to show “ patriotism by signing up for shadowy Core Signals, asks TBIJ group? It certainly looks like it. Is “Tom” funding another holiday?
No, we’re still here, I’m mostly Cornish & or south of Wales+SW England. A bit of French and Spanish ( fishermen?) & intriguingly 1.6 % Pashtun. Those Afghan fishing fleets must have been blown off course!
John, you claim to be an educated man, try to behave like one please
I’m not surprised you found your trip to London “ harrowing,” Cagna, if you took your horse
(not used to city traffic !) and flag with you. Next time try a bus, they’re plentiful
Visited London for the first time in quite a while. Harrowing experience…
1. They’re lying about the numbers. The next census is going to be absolutely barbaric reading.
2. Things are far worse than most people outside of London could possibly imagine.
The entire city has been turned into a middle Easter bazaar and a sub continental slop market.
That’s one way to look at her, John. Here’s another, Rayner grew up in poverty with bipolar mother, left school pregnant etc etc. She overcame her background . That’s experience money can’t buy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela…
Angela Rayner is a product on UK Unions. She began as a mere member, rose to be a Shop Steward and then supported by them, was elected in a safe seat to Parliament. She has no experience of house building or anything else for that matter, but sits as the UK's Housing Minister. How on earth is she qualified to do so?
