[shoutinghorse]

I'm torn between taking your position, and that of Shatterface, Tigzy, et al. He is a shitstirrer, and no doubt that is somewhat for his own benefit as this seems to have become his job. Also, he has a history of association with utter cunts. Plus, he was not put on a secret list of people to arrest; he was placed on a suspended sentence by a judge, and he knew the conditions of that. So, he may be a self-serving idiot.

But let's ignore his ignoble past and look at why he does this stuff: because if no-one shouts about these gangs of child rapists, and no-one points out that there is a singular connection between them beyond them all being male, then the police's efforts to investigate and prevent such child rape gangs will continue to be stymied by their superiors and by politicians, and by rabble-rousers on the other side who would have us accept that child rape is part of a cultchya, and as such should be encouraged to survive the emigration from Pakistan to England and flourish in the self-imposed ghettos of the Midlands and North.

So I am torn. But in the end, I guess I believe that the costs of ignoring what is happening to England's poorest children are so great that I am glad noise is being made about this.

Agreed but being a shitstirrer is a necessity, especially when everyone else seems reluctant to talk about it or call you a racist for doing so. Katie Hopkins is the same, we need people to push buttons if we are to have honest debate, unfortunately the UK establishment it appears would just like us all to shut up. Look how quickly the bomb in Manchester arena last year was forgotten only to be unboxed again on the anniversary so we could light candles, hold hands and sing "Don't Look Back In Anger" As Brendan O'Neill said, "If we can't be angry about 22 people,mostly young teenage girls being blown up then we've lost our moral anchor" I would say the same with rape gangs, hundreds of men raping, abusing & torturing vulnerable girls in almost every town & city in England and getting away with it for decades. Where's our moral anchor here? No one but Robinson was at Leeds court on Friday to record and report proceedings, why, fear of being labelled racists or just plain apathy?

It must be recognised, discussed and debated that Muslim men get authority from their god to do this through the teachings of Islam.

Tommy has the balls to say so, shitstirring may be the only way to get an honest debate going before we're all forced to shut up.

When you put it like that, it makes me wonder if there were "Aldrin" or "Armstrong" acid tabs produced around that time. Most popular when/where I grew up were called "strawberries", not that it was a drug I took much interest in but I picked up on what others were saying.

So....if I understand this judge correctly, he is suggesting that only people who are professionals should have the freedom to buy pointy objects.

Butchers and fishmongers get to buy a knife with a point

Mechanics and carpenters get to buy screwdrivers and awls.

Shipping clerks get to buy box cutters.

Haha... yeah... this is a great idea.

Among the various moronic eructions from his pie-hole, this dolt of a judge opined that:

... why we do need eight-inch or ten-inch kitchen knives with points? Butchers and fishmongers do, but how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an eight-inch or ten-inch knife? Rarely, if at all."

Oh, I don't know, how about the roast I trimmed the other day, or the pineapple I carved up, or the chicken my wife just sectioned, or for that matter the eyes she just removed from the batch of potatoes that are currently baking in the oven?

Of course she could have done the potato with a shorter instrument, but who wants to switch to use another knife when they don't have to?

And of course there's the magical thinking that a apparently a four inch knife with a point can't be as or more lethal than a eight incher.

Fuckwit.

[Keating]

As Douglas Murray says, the UK establishment is good at cracking down on the reaction to a problem rather than on the primary problem. Obviously it is still considered electoral suicide to be seen to be picking on POCs or immigrants, which is why beefed up security is never targeted at the primary threat, but always at generic "extremism". It is considered fine to raid the home of Tommy Robinson for no particular reason but not so kosher to do likewise to a radical Imam.

This is pretty much the reason I side with Tommy. He’s pretty much the representation of everything wrong with current western governments, more concerned with appearing to do good than actually being good.

Elon Musk is an idiot.

I suppose the next step would be requiring restaurants to have their knives bolted to a table with a piece of wire, as is required in US airports and prisons.

...how often, if at all, does a domestic chef use the point of an eight-inch or ten-inch knife? Rarely, if at all.

Anyone with basic knife skills uses the tip all the time. Judge Madge should go out and see how knives are actually used in a kitchen.

Reminds me of whats-his-face asking the members of the jury if "Lady Chatterley's Lover" was a book they would want their wife or servants to read. Mad old fucker.

I think of George Bush (Bush the Elder, not Shrub) being amazed by an optical scanner at a grocery checkout. Spend enough time having other people do things for you and you end up clueless about how things work. Probably shouldn't be making sweeping domestic policy decisions at that point.

I have to note on Twitter some of the same people who are very satisfied to see Robinson go to jail are the ones that were enraged when illegal immigrants were being deported for minor offences. Somebody will have to explain the distinction to me, as I fail to understand it.

And a lot of those supporting the live streaming of the trial were previously in favour of extending the anonymity granted to the accuser in rape cases to the accused.

[My issue as it were, is everyone shocked, SHOCKED, that a guy on probation ...

Yes, they are. A suspended sentence means that if you breach your conditions you are jailed for the remainder of the sentence left suspended. You may also face adoptions time for whatever got you arrested the second time.

That sentence is unlikely to be suspended because you have already proven that any guarantee you offer not to offend again is worth shit.

If the former I want to know how the terms were technically breeched. Tommy was clearly and purposefully operating within the letter of the conditions. Feelz aside.

Both. I think, he was found guilty of contempt of court for the Canterbury incident where he ran up the court entrance steps and called the accused 'Muslim pedo's' and 'Muslim rapists' (allegedly) that is what he got the suspended sentence for. He was originally arrested at Leeds for a breach of the peace, as was heard on his LS video, when he got into court the charge was changed to contempt of court but as there is a reporting embargo on his case we don't know the details.
From what I can ascertain, he was given the three months remaining on his sentence to serve for breaching his suspended sentence conditions (from Canterbury) and then given an additional 10 months for contempt of court at Leeds.
