Not quite that simple , all 3 trials were linked so the last trial , which hadn't started , may also have been in jeopardy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could have succeeded, or more likely Yaxley-Lennon's antics could have been sufficient grounds for an appeal or even a mistrial being declared and the child rapists walking free. The plain, simple fact that his supporters ignore is that reporting restrictions were in place and until those restrictions were lifted breaking them was contempt of court. All Yaxley-Lennon had to do was wait, like the real media, until then; but he wouldn't have got all this free publicity and even more fools sending him money had he done that.

Far right parties have always been soundly thrashed in every general election in my lifetime , that will not change. Tommy Robinson only achieved 2% of the vote in the recent European elections, which indicated the true depth of his support. As you say, thrashed. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didnt misquote you, I quite clearly stated "you sort of said" and then you put the blame onto others for being worse . It was the "many Brexiteers and some Remainers" that I remarked upon . The way that I see it , its mainly the Brexiters/Anti-Trump supporters that usually name call , that;s my experience anyway , I quite often ask you lot to quit the name calling . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
