I'm not really sure how to share a twitter thread here, but I thought this one would be useful. Tommy Robinson is not the person everyone seems to think he is. I've got this from other sources, as well, but this one probably lays it out best.
Very powerful statements by Douglas Murray
Tommy Robinson is not the issue
He is a symptom of the issue - which leaders demand NOT even be addressed

“First, they came for Tommy Robinson . . . “
His cousin was raped by a Muslim gang and his family has suffered many other personal attacks by Muslims.
It’s personal to him.
But it became political because he has reported several hundred incidents to the police hoping they would do their jobs, treat Muslim criminals the same as white criminals and the police have not done so.
So he decided to film everything and to be vocal and that is what has brought him notoriety. But he’s tapped into a problem that millions of Brits are experiencing as well so he’s become the focus of their angst and grievances, a cause célèbre.
Sure, but none were purporting to be someone they weren’t. Tommy Robinson isn’t even his name. He’s a con man.
Do you have any idea how many founding fathers used pseudonyms when they wrote their pamphlets and political literature?
Do you think the guys throwing tea in the Boston Harbor were really Native Americans?
Get a grip.
Looked at the people criticizing Robinson.
Yep. Gaslighters on twitter who would never go to jail for their beliefs in a million years. Clowns like Saul remind me why I gave up on twitter. Way too much pompous verbal diarrhea there for me.
I haven’t been keeping up with this Tommy Robinson character, but it seems there have been reports of Nazisim or neonaziism, or something like that, associated with the story.
I admit first off to not reading the twitter post.
If, indeed, Tommy is a bad sort, then why are the Brits acting as they are? I mean, the press blackout, the excessive drama over the arrest etc. All they had to do was have the press speak of all of his sins and how evil he is to the British way and so on. Exaggerate his wrongdoings.
Maybe because it is known that the reason for his actions is righteous and that the country condemned him to a death sentence because he insults their masters? They are creating a martyr and, no matter his previous sins, that will not bode well for them.
Consider MLK. He was a far from perfect man, as was JFK. Yet, they are revered. Going back further, we know many of our hero forefathers were miscreants and blackguards (or considered so), not all, but many. Yet, their good far outweighed their rough histories.
Just saying that Tommy Robinson is not being punished for being a “bad” person. He is being punished for doing the right thing when tptb support what is wrong.
Trump is a nazi too.
Never forget!
And if you voted for him, you’re a nazi!
etc.
(do I have to add the sarcasm?)
How about we recognize the vast difference between being a Nazi, and not being a Nazi?
How about you pay attention to the fact that just because the MSM CALLS someone a nazi doesn’t mean that they’re REALLY a nazi.
MSM have ruined the words nazi, racist, bigot, etc for all time.
Anyone opposing the population/cultural/religious replacement of European descent countries is a nazi according to the MSM.
This would include recognizing that the moronic ideas of progressivism include the tactic of falsely accusing real patriots of being Nazis.
Meanwhile, progressivism (democrat party) is where the Nazi ideology resides.
Thank you for reminding me of that. Not that I had forgotten, but you’re right in spirit.
Plus, he wasn't even allowed his own attorney. They gave him a court-appointed defender.
Absolutely.
Who do you think sent ‘Tommy Robinson’ to prison?
Denying due process is a very nazi thing to do.
Calling Tommy a nazi is simply projection from the leftist media.
What beliefs of Tommy Robinson are you not in sympathy with? Do you think it is just for muslims immigrants to rape native English children, drug them, kidnap them and threaten their families?
