Firefighter suspended over supportive social media posts for Tommy Robinson
The British Journal ^ | June 3, 2018 | The British Journal

A firefighter named ‘Jono Booth’ has allegedly been suspended from duty in Nottinghamshire after posting support for Tommy Robinson publicly on Facebook.  Mr Booth has now taken to social media to voice his concerns on the matter.  There are many people who are outraged.

Tommy Robinson was sentenced to thirteen months in prison after breeching court orders.  There have been many people on social media voicing their anger towards the Judge’s sentencing of Tommy Robinson.

Mr Booth has now used Facebook to hit out at what he sees as clampdown of freedom of speech in the United Kingdom.  He says that it is “disgusting” that child abusers and racists are “getting away” with their alleged crimes, yet Tommy is locked up in a prison cell.

There were fears for Tommy Robinson’s life during the week as his family were denied the right to visit him, with no explanation.  There was then further concerns that Tommy could have been hurt in the prison, though this has not been confirmed.

So now a firefighter who supports the recently imprisoned Tommy Robinson is suspended from his job because of supporting Tommy on social media.

The judge in the initial case is taking heat for sentencing Tommy to 13 months in prison.

But this indicates the government has not moved away from the initial extreme action taken against the English "subject", Tommy Robinson. (aka Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon)

Well, that is what it is.

And England has long had issues with it.

“The public in England “get’s it”.

I’ll believe that when a few people get tarred, feathered, and run out of town on rails.

England isn’t the only place where tar and feathers are needed; this particular judge isn’t the only miscreant-in-office who needs to be coated with them.

The Brits are finished as a free society.
They have been overrun by Muslims and the
Government is more afraid of its huge Muslim
population than native Anglo Brits.

It’s OK to kill and rape, but not OK to complain about it. The UK is lost, and I don’t care.

Well the public demonstrations are growing and the Internet traffic is too.

The problem? Some of the English POLs are involved in the trafficking that the trial is about. Courts cannot have that leak out. Headshake.

In the wake of Grenfell, you’d think they’d want to keep all their firefighters instead of targeting them.

The left: stupid as ever.

Not protected by the US constitution, so all bets are off.

In England criticizing the government is considered a hate crime and is illegal.

Before this is over, I expect the Brits will have given us yet another demonstration of why we were right to go our own way.

It's still sad, though - like watching an elderly relative fade, become incoherent - and finally die. You keep hoping that their strength will somehow rally and their wits will return to them, but...

Islam’s claws go far deeper into the UK government than any of its citizens imagine. And it’s only going to get worse.

You are correct. The whole of the EU except for a few pockets who refuse to swallow this poison pill are blind to the consequences.

Hungary, CZ and Poland have refused. May be others.

It is stupid and it sucks.

Many see it, but are powerless to do anything about it.

Obama courts have done the same crap to US to a smaller degree, but till take many years to uproot the seeds of this in our legal system.
