Ctoo means well and has long campaigned against Muslim extremism as he sees it
Tommy Robinson is a patriot who is sadly being detained for speaking truth to power, I hope he is realised and fear he may die in prison. The govt have good intention and are trying their best to crack down on harmful misinfo and prevent what they see as instability to the political order, but suppression of freedom of speech must be avoided
As regards the ANC, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter for example - and Tommy is exactly like that to me - a freedom fighter
His idiocy was well demonstrated with his attempt to publicise a court hearing placed under restriction by the judge lest it jeopardise another trial
I saw the actual document restricting publication
It was categoric.
All those present at the trial who witnessed the public sentencing of persons A, B and C etc for sexual abuse of minors were banned from making public those facts UNTIL a second trial of persons A, X, Y and Z for identical offences carried out at another date against a different victim had concluded.
The reporting restriction document stated explicitly that upon the conclusion of trial two, regardless of the verdict, all persons present at trial one would then be free to report and discuss that trial openly
The purpose of the restriction is obvious to any intelligent individual. Trial Two needed to be held with those persons accused being tried against evidence gathered regarding those events and that occasion. To have the result of trial one in the public domain would jeopardise both person A's right to a fair trial but ALSO cause the jury to ponder guilt of persons X Y and Z not on the basis of evidence but upon the basis of association with A
Yaxley-Lennon chose to rant that this was censorship by the judiciary wishing to conceal wrongdoing by an Asian islamic, when the truth, had it been available for all to see, was nothing of the sort.
I agree that past acts of government in turning a blind eye to sexual abuse of children by Asian Islamics leaves us with good reason to mistrust the lying government scum but that doesn't excuse contempt of court.
What might be useful is a set of laws allowing those who do abuse such restrictions to be hung from a lamp post as a sign of how seriously such abuses might be.
