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.
Second thread this morning on this.
None of the founding fathers was perfect either.
This guy should just go back to sleep
Boy, the panty-waists are out and about this Monday.
Saul has me blocked
I must have triggered his tolerance at some time
I have no idea what he thinks or says
The dogs bark, the caravan moves on
On the surface, he has some flaws.
But that doesn’t give any legit government the right to arrest you at 10 AM, charge you by 2 PM, and wrap up a court episode with a 13-month sentence by 4 PM. Then the court reserves the right to make the whole affair ‘secret’, and forbids any news service within the UK to report it? No....that’s basically a Nazi-tyle regime.
I think over the weekend, probably out of the 65-million population...at least 8-million have a particularly negative opinion of the UK government, PM May, and their rights. By the end of June, you can double that.
Swift Injustice: The Case of Tommy Robinson

Looked at the people criticizing Robinson.
Nope, not falling for it. The lynchers are more reprehensible in this case.
In August 2015, there was a fellow named Donald Trump who was accused of much more than this Tommy fellow, and I did in-depth research to discover Mr. Trump was a tremendously likable and smart guy.
Then I promptly gave my extended middle finger to Trump’s detractors and continue to do so without apology.
Trump was Hitler.
Trump was a misogynist.
Trump was a racist.
Trump was a rapist.
Trump was a liar.
Trump was a tax cheater.
Trump was a Birther.
and on and on ad nauseum.
I’ve done research on Tommy. He’s doing a lot of good. His detractors are a-holes. This fact will be illuminated more and more as more people wake up.
Is he perfect? No. Is he right>? Yes.
Are his detractors to be respected? No, they are liars and cowards. They would make good democrats stateside.
Thanks for posting. Bruce Bawer is great and I wish more people knew about his writings.
Yeah but i bet saul montes whatever is exactly who we think he is
Sometimes it takes a bad boy with the courage of his convictions and possibly not as much to lose to make the statement others won’t do.
Yes, he has a somewhat shady history, but that doesn’t make him wrong on THIS issue. In court we don’t prosecute for past crimes unless they are directly related to a current one. In this case the writer is assuming Robinson is wrong because he did something wrong in the past. I don’t know of any court that would normally assume this. At sentencing the judge would consider past crimes as a pattern but not during the prosecution.
Prosecuted and jailed on the same day? He was railroaded. That’s what we need to take away from all this and it was done to silence him. Clearly the UK does not have a 1st Amendment or Freedom of Speech.
No, that IS a Nazi-style regime!!
And the US media? Where is Democracy Dies in Darkness (aka Washington Post) on this?
Montes Bradley is quiet an ideologue in his own right. Peppers his tweets with Nazi, Fascist, thug, etc...regardless who he is talking about.
Sometimes rough work requires rough people.
Saul Montes-Bradley
Learned long ago to be very suspicious of any man with a hyphenated name.
I’m more concerned about muzzy fifth columnists crawling out of the woodwork blogging and posting in what appears to be a concerted smear campaign.
” I’m an Englishman”
Very powerful
