Interestingly there is currently a video on social media circulating showing one of those paedophile hunters having an Asian chap from Blackburn arrested outside of Burnley bus station, after catching him out online.
I think it was livestreamed/ filmed today, late this morning.

Hold on, you need to wait for one of the others to ask why he's diffentiating between people by using them and our.

They ask other people that question.

No amount of humanitarian kindness would stop the way people treat each other in those circumstances. And no, not just us, but our society as a whole including our allies.

I'm sure in this context I'm pretty sure it's easy to understand who I'm referring to.

It's obvious the context when others do it, but some on here like to make an issue out of it to make people look like they're beinc racist or something like that. :roll:

Exactly the same as if we had done it before and been warned.
You are absolutely right, but the point is that he was jailed for contempt of court (according to one report) because of his previous conviction but that previous conviction was in itself no more than a gagging order.
Don't get me wrong, I don't look upon Robinson as some prisoner of conscience and I'm sure if we ever met we would have a serious difference of opinion, what I am talking about here is a matter of principle, that principle being that no-one should be gagged. If he had assaulted someone, or threatened them with physical harm or caused criminal damage (which I am not aware he did) then yes he should be punished accordingly, but he was simply speaking on his Facebook page I believe.
That is gagging. That is censorship. That is having your freedom to speak taken away from you. The judge has said himself that his imprisonment was not infringing his right to speak and that it was about contempt of court but if he hadn't been gagged in the first place there would have been no contempt to arrest him for.

Should we try to stop it ?

And no, not just us, but our society as a whole

If they were to be given a choice of 'In which country they would like to be given Asylum'
Which country do you think would be top of the list ?

Without asking every single person who feels their life is in danger it would be extremely difficult to say. In regards to stopping it, there are obviously political reasons why we aren't.

he's been jailed for potentially prejudicing a trial, for the second time.

its got absolutely nothing to do with freedom of speech.

Political, financial and also issues this end with infrastructure etc.

Whilst we aren't full, our infrastructure needs a lot more work doing before we throw the doors open for millions more people.

Which country do you think would be top of the list ?
its usually the ones nearest home, in the hope they can return sooner rather than later.

Struggling to see where you're going with that one Dazzler.

Obvious as in a clear reason for nothing being done.

No, I said obviously reasons. As in, there are reasons, I didn't elaborate on those reasons as I don't know.

Just say it Dazzler, you just hate all muslims don't you.

You despise them.

For no reason whatsoever, you didn't even want your child educating about the religions of the world, in his Religious Education class.

What have muslims ever done to you?

Not agreeing with something or indeed not shouting about your tolerance of something is now described as a phobia by those suffering from political correctness. Sadly these fools tend to have no experience whatsoever of the various things they fall over themselves to defend.

Yes it has. People comment on trials all the time but not with these consequences. But then that may just be the crux of the matter. Did it have more to do with the defendants in the case and the person making the comments? I don't know.
What I do know is over the last couple of days I know more about Robinson than I did before. Anyway enough of him. We could go on for days like this and nothing will change my view on free speech and what it is, as opposed to what people think it should be.

it didn't. there were reporting restrictions on the case which is why nobody else was reporting on it.

he broke those restrictions.

they'd have been lifted once all the outcomes were known (there's a lot of defendants so its been split and as such takes a long time to conclude everything). all he had to do was wait until it was all over, just like everyone else.

When does free speech become libelous or slander?

Likewise, what about the Official Secrets act?

1. Libel is a published statement.
2. Slander (and libel) come under the heading of personal attack, usually on an individual (it happens all the time on here).
Both of the above are covered in law and can be avoided simply by saying 'in my opinion' as opposed to making a statement of fact.
3. Official Secrets Act is used in the case of any endangerment to the nation but has always been overused and at times has been used to gag people. It has been broken many times and people have been punished when in fact it has been in the public interest to break that law.
What I have been talking about is 'opinion' and people's right to hold and express that opinion, including their view on a trial if needs be, not breaking the official secrets act or making potentially untrue statements about others.

This is a report of the original case in Canterbury where "Tommy Robinson" was convicted and given a suspended sentence. https://www.canterburyjournal.co.uk/how ... anterbury/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It appears to me to go massively beyond all concepts of freedom of speech. He was behaving in a completely unacceptable way outside of a courtroom and was lucky to get a suspended sentence. As has been said several times above - his behaviour could have led to the collapse of the case.
