Exclusive — Delingpole: A Visit to Tommy Robinson in Belmarsh Maximum Security Prison
breitbart ^ | 12 Sep 2019 | JAMES DELINGPOLE

Posted on 09/12/2019 1:22:27 PM PDT by MarvinStinson

Tommy Robinson is in the same prison cell formerly occupied by Michael Adebelajo – one of the two Islamic terrorists who murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby.

Of all things I learned from my visit to see Robinson that detail was perhaps the most extraordinary: a man convicted for the venial slip of ‘contempt of court’ should end up being given the same treatment as a vicious killer who ran over an off-duty soldier in broad daylight on a London street and then nearly severed his head with a knife.

Belmarsh maximum security jail houses many of Britain’s worst terrorists. Security is ultra-tight.

But the prisoners in the terrorist wing get far greater freedom than Tommy Robinson does: they’re let out of their cells into a communal area for most of the day where they can play pool and other games.

Robinson is confined to his cell from 11 am every day. His only time out of solitary confinement is the hour he gets to spend every morning trudging around a grim prison yard, plus another hour in the cell next door to his on an exercise bike.

Robinson thinks it’s ridiculous having been sentenced for a straight criminal offence — one with no victim — that he should have been sent to Britain’s highest category prison mostly reserved for terrorists and other murderers rather than a category C one somewhere in the provinces.

After his last spell in prison, Robinson emerged seriously malnourished. He had been held in solitary (for his own safety), with his window shut (because Islamist prisoners were throwing excrement through it). And he’d lived on a grim diet of a can of tuna a day because he knew that if he ate any regular prison food it would be contaminated by Muslim inmates out to get him.

Thank you for this ping since Rigby is close to my heart and I served with the Fusiliers ./ That POS who killed Rigby gets more freedom than a patriot is sickening , and I hope Boris Johnson does something about this crap

The savage murder of Lee Rigby is the one thing of all that has enraged me the most over the years.

I served in the same regiment, and to know this bloke went out for an interview when he was to leave the Army pisses ,e off, but to see the video of the scumbag holding that machete and spouting his shite does my head in and really grates me

I still think about that horrific murder of that lovely young man Lee Rigby, and his son growing up witout him. Surely you aas a Fusilier must feel it very keenly, and resent that POS animal who slaughtered him most cruelly.

Our poor Tommy. I pray for him. It is amazing he has survved in that place; I am glad for all the international attention. Otherwise, the guards might have just “slipped up” like they did with Epstein. Difference is, the public loathed Epstein, but many people love Tommy. Lennon thought he was a working class hero, but Tommy really is one.

It still makes me angry though. Sure, lower security prisons probably couldn’t protect him.

Because every single prison in UK is full of M-words.

I meant John Lennon thought he was a working-class hero. And here it is Yaxley-Lennon.

words cannot describe how I feel how the Rigby murder, and my feelings over that will never fade.
As for Tommy I am so glad like you that there is international attention on him to protect him. I honestly believe that while some guards like him there are also other guards who do not and will be paid off from the muslim scumbags in prison

“Lennon thought he was a working class hero,“

You need to listen to that song again.

“Cause you’re all f****** peasants as far as I can see.”
