Hard to read the Appeal Court's criticism of the judge who banged Tommy Robinson up

[Burney]

and not conclude that his extraordinary actions were motivated by something other than the desire to see a fair trial. :rubchin:


For the reasons we have given, we are satisfied that the decision at Leeds Crown Court
to proceed to committal to prison so promptly and without due regard for Part 48 of the
Rules gave rise to unfairness. There was no clarity about what parts of the video were
relied upon as amounting to contempt, what parts the appellant accepted through his
counsel amounted to contempt and for what conduct he was sentenced. Indeed, we
would emphasise that, save for those cases involving obstructive, disruptive, insulting
or intimidating conduct in the courtroom or its vicinity or otherwise immediately
affecting the proceedings, the judge, having taken such steps as are necessary to bring
the misconduct to an end and mitigate its consequences, should usually resist the
temptation to initiate contempt proceedings on his or her own motion. In the
circumstances of this case, whilst the judge was entitled to deal with the contempt
himself, the urgency went out of the matter when the appellant agreed to take down the
video from Facebook. There should have been an adjournment to enable the particulars
of contempt to be properly formulated and for a hearing at a more measured pace, as
had happened in Canterbury. The judge might have referred the matter to the Attorney
General to consider whether to institute proceedings. That course would have avoided
the risk of sacrificing fairness on the altar of celerity.
84. Even in those cases in which a summary determination is appropriate, whether
immediate or delayed, care must be taken to apply Part 48 of the Rules.

That's pretty strong. If Robinson has the resources to fight this aggressively and publicly, it could easily be the start of the far right having a proper hero upon whom to focus.

So long as he doesn't start s****ing about in footer bags.

[7sisters]

So, altogether then... 'sing if you're glad to be gay, Sing if you're happy that way, hey'

[SWv2]

I think he should have kept his original name.

Made him stand out more.

That's already happening. There can be no doubt for anyone who's actually looked into Robinson's case that he has been subjected to an extraordinary and quite frightening campaign of state persecution over a number of years. You don't have to like or agree with him to find what has been done to him deeply worrying.

He also throws a decent right hook.

Nice hit. Right on the jawline. Perfectly timed.

I know nothing of the chap save the obvious twitter screeching of fascist, so I don't know if he's an evil Nazi or a misunderstood centrist, but either way: he can throw a punch. Respect.

That's a lie, la. Made up entirely by hard left antifa types. If you can find one credible source for it, please do so.

As I say, police state. Once you have been on the wrong end of it you never look at any of it in the same way.

Deeply worrying.

That nice Mr Blair fúcked us from ársehole to breakfast time, he really did :-(

He is common. Poor fvcker's from Luton, ffs! You can't hold a chap's upbringing against him, though.

Unless he's foreign, of course. In which case you must.

[Burney]

Yup. Certainly the worst PM of my lifetime and - St Maggie aside, of course - that is a crowded field of cvnts.

I suppose you missed out on Wilson and Heath? Hard to choose ebtween that pair of halfwits.

Swings and roundabouts isnt it. Thatcher wanted her police force to focus on persecuting the poor and the black. THis is payback.

Either way, its a police state and someone is getting ****ed.

[Burney]

I think Heath may have snuck under the wire for me, actually. In which case I'd have to include him for the whole Europe thing. But I don't think even that has done as much long-term damage to the fabric of this country and its institutions than Blair.

The difference is that the poor and the black were and are where most of the crime comes from, p.

If it isn't the job of the police to persecute criminals, what is the point of them?

Let us not forget Comrade Cameron deciding that it is reasonable for a man to marry a man.

Immoral lunacy. How much further will we anger God before the Flood comes?

My father is still bizarrely furious about that. I must say I found his late-in-life conversion to the sanctity of the marriage vows rather surprising, to say the least. :hehe:

Indeed. I was taken by the general level of their spelling and grammar. Most of them could teach Trump a thing or two.

To keep the peace and protect rich people's property.

And to provide employment for the hopelessly stupid.

Exactly. Both of which are most effectively achieved by persecuting the poor and black.
