I just had a giggle at some morons kicking off over a Coca-Cola social media campaign with the hashtag #shareacoke, claiming now that Coca-Cola is now Halal. You could not make it up (maybe you could but...)
TOMMY CAN YOU HEAR ME??
That is the problem. The smart calculating ones make this sh!t up and the dumb as feck ones believe it and share it on Facebook etc. Just as they share lost dog in the USA posts.
Too many people believe any old sh!t they read on Facebook, other social media and the BBC without engaging their brain cells.
It isn’t only the far right that do it either. However Brexit, the rise of similar groups in other countries and the election of Trump appears to have emboldened racists to crawl out from the gutters.
I lost track of the number of people that told me be that this area was going to be swamped with Turks unless we voted for Brexit. I suggested that we put up a border post on Loughor bridge as that was the only place it would be needed.

You’d rather see TR in prison than the scum who raped the young girls.
Didn't 'TR's' behaviour potentially jeopardise said scum being sent to prison though, through a mistrial? This is the core of the issue isn't it? He knew exactly what he was doing? Am I missing something?
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.

Yep, the victims of these alleged monsters must be absolutely chuffed Tommy Robinson pulled a stunt to try and get the trials of their abusers cancelled.
Tommy was only thinking of the victims and not himself. That’s why he’s gone to prison see...

How many Turks do you think would have come to the 🇬🇧, had we stayed in the eu and Turkey eventually join ?
Can't be arsed to read through the whole thread, but here is a simple article explaining what he has done wrong, to those of his apologists on here who can't grasp it.

Cheers, Whitney. The judges statement clears it up for me:
“This contempt hearing is not about free speech. This is not about freedom of the press. This is not about legitimate journalism; this is not about political correctness; this is not about whether one political viewpoint is right or another. It is about justice, and it is about ensuring that a trial can be carried out justly and fairly. It is about ensuring that a jury are not in any way inhibited from carrying out their important function. It is about being innocent until proven guilty. It is not about people prejudging a situation and going round to that court and publishing material, whether in print or online, referring to defendants as “Muslim paedophile rapists”. A legitimate journalist would not be able to do that and under the strict liability rule there would be no defence to publication in those terms. It is pejorative language which prejudges the case, and it is language and reporting — if reporting indeed is what it is — that could have had the effect of substantially derailing the trial. As I have already indicated, because of what I knew was going on I had to take avoiding action to make sure that the integrity of this trial was preserved, that justice was preserved and that the trial could continue to completion without people being intimidated into reaching conclusions about it, or into being affected by “irresponsible and inaccurate reporting”. If something of the nature of that which you put out on social media had been put into the mainstream press I would have been faced with applications from the defence advocates concerned, I have no doubt, to either say something specific to the jury, or worse, to abandon the trial and to start again. That is the kind of thing that actions such as these can and do have, and that is why you have been dealt with in the way in which you have and why I am dealing with this case with the seriousness which I am.”
What the fu*k? This is how scary the social media society are.I'm glad I'm so cynical sometimes.
Just had a scan at the comments section - WOW and scary
So many people are being misdirected on social media. They claim free speech and free press is nonexistent, but the fact that so much lies, half truths and deliberate misdirection spreads like wildfire proves the opposite.
In amongst all of the facts, counter facts, real news, fake news, propaganda, memes and general social media lunacy, I haven’t been able to get to the bottom of the really important sub plot from this thread.
