You don't fight Fascism by ignoring it No but you can give rise to it through promoting it. He’s the result of the problem, not the cause of it, targeting him only makes him a martyr in the eyes of his followers, if the media ignore him he will go away over time, he’s doing it all for attention and ‘brand Tommy’. Obviously there are then major societal and cultural issues which need to be sorted and yes, cannot/should not be ignored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't stop mainstream media reporting on him because you don't control it His Social Media platforms have pretty much been closed down You can't ban someone from holding political rallies or meetings without having specific grounds to do so (generally public order type stuff) In those circumstances all you can do is oppose everything he does with counter demonstrations etc Censorship very rarely if ever works, it's generally counter productive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news re social media accounts. Specific grounds for banning public speaking - surely inciting hatred and violence would suffice? I agree generally, and believe it or not I do firmly believe in freedom of speech but not when it’s specifically designed to incite hatred, suspicion and ultimately violence.

AJ Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 As much as it pains me to say it, I wish no violence towards this prick. One of the last things the world needs is having his brain dead supporters holding him up as a martyr. Humiliation, degradation, discreditation and financial ruin, I am all for that.

bickster Posted July 21, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2019 According to The Star (truthfulness highly doubtful) Are Tommeh got into a disagreement with a pensioner within 72 hours of being banged up, something to do with Tommeh not being shown enough respect. The 72 year old one punched him flat on his arse. Like I said, highly dubious but amusing if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Pensioner punches asylum seeker? They should throw the book at him. Trouble is these days, it would probably be the Quran. Our top journalists would be all over this if they weren't already falsely imprisoned. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted September 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2019 He's out, presumably now calling himself Tommy Robinson Crusoe. Seemingly he's trying to kid on he's been in a gulag for years. He's fooling nobody - we all know you're allowed to shave in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
