Fucking terrifying.
Did some research on him btw:
Tommy Robinson, is an English anti-Islam campaigner, convicted criminal and one of the UK’s most prominent far-right activists.[1][2] He was a political advisor to former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Gerard Batten.
Robinson has been active in far-right politics for many years. He was a member of the British National Party (BNP), a neo-fascist and white nationalist political party

Pity about that. Any "extremist" looks kinda flaky and this is an important conversation. Free speech. Obviously. But I'd have to hear his views and whys from him to make a judgement. Of course.
Still anti-anyone else pisses me off, quite frankly. Let's see how free speech is, in the u.k. then...
Got to the part where everybody is talking about Jamal and hating on him. Nope. That's "people" and the "mob" thing right there. Fuck 'em. But valid info on the way media is "working".
Almost everything on Wikipedia about Tommy is complete nonsense or at best very slanted.
That's a particularly well constructed half-truth to deceive. He went to a meeting of the BNP, joined, paid then when he tried to go back to a second meeting he took his friends (some of whom were black). They said his black friends couldn't come (BNP were absolutely racist) and he left, never to return. His name was released on a hacked membership list years later.
In fact it is part of his entire origin of the movement he started with the slogan "Black and White Unite". And even when he came to visit me in Israel, he brought two friends, one of which a black lad he went to school from.
Ah... the internet of amazing things.
I believe one can edit Wiki by the way. #justsayin it may be worth sticking up and edit or two to clarify things.
And yeah... I started following this part of the media when I became interested in the Assange case. Unbelievable what they pulled. Trial by media and basically a witch hunt. Shocking. Even the alleged victims were saying they were misquoted and the initial case that was used to arrest him was misconstrued and launched outside of their prior concerns.
I did look for that particular story a year or so later for something and I couldn't find it again. Yep. Like that. Here we go again...
