But then that doesn’t suit the far right thug mantra he spouts daily Former EDL leader and professional gammon-herder Tommy Robinson has been told that if he doesn’t like the laws of this country then he should go and live somewhere else, after an arrest warrant was issued for him following his failure to appear before the High Court this morning. The arrest warrant was issued after Tommy Ten Names broadcast a ‘documentary’ containing lies that he had been told not to repeat by a judge in the defamation trial he lost in 2021. The 41-year-old grifter had been due in court on Monday morning for allegedly breaching an order not to repeat those lies, and now faces arrest. Again. The arrest warrant has prompted many to question his supporters and ask if they still hold the firm belief that any person who doesn’t like the laws of this country should ‘leave’. Police spokesperson and rational human Simon Williams told reporters, “Obviously the fact that Tommy Robinson has found himself on the wrong side of the law will not have come as much of a surprise to most people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but whether EDL or others, people in communities always seem to get up to this kind of nonsense when something bad happens. If the killer was Muslim, what do these idiots think it has to do with other Muslims, and what do they think kicking off like that and attacking the police is going to achieve. Rhetorical questions of course, but watching the news yesterday and tonight was properly upsetting, and seeing those mindless clowns piling the hurt onto an already broken community is very sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fair comment but it's always going to happen. You still have some black people blaming all white people for things that happened 200 years ago! The muslims were quick to protest against all police after events last week. It always happens. There is apparently going to be a protest march tonight at Downing Street, which will be met by counter protests from the AntiFa and probably protests from the muslim community too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to see the relevance. This wasn't a protest was it? First it was a vigil, then appears to be a full-blown riot. 2 hours ago, east-stand-nic said: Like the thugs who kicked off in Leeds over child services taking kids away. I assume you condemn their actions also, no? Why the need for the comparison - it's not a competition! I'm surprised there's be no challenge on here over the last couple of hours to the apologists and the excusers. Unless I'm missing something it's pretty clear what went on in Southport last night and no amount of deflection will change that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Just complete scum. 50 officers injured now - these are the people who had to respond to Monday's horrific attack, catch the murderer, face the most awful scenes imaginable and try to save lives. Then have to clean up the mess and tell grieving parents their kids are dead. And then the EDL and their types attack them because they thought the killer was a different religion/race to themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
