In certain and carefully prescribed situations - this being one. He's not a 'big' man in any respect. Another oldy but goodie...and wingeing to the Old Bill when it suits him.

OK, there was a recent incident when a similar occurrence happened and a person attacked Tommy and Tommy knocked him out with a punch .

How do you feel about tommy knocking a person out ?

Pity the UK does not apply the same rigorous approach and enthusiasm with actual violent bigots who enter the UK on an given day like hate preacher Mohamed Hoblos or the hundreds of foreign students who incite violence at their host educational institutions.

Weren't there 2 hate preachers rejected very recently?

In addition to these criminal convictions, he has repeatedly been found in contempt of court:

If people want to talk about YL or people who posted his hotel then I see no reason to join in. If some one says "I like him because I'm a Luton fan", or "I like smashing things up", or, "I agree with what he says, even if not how he says it", then I see no reason to join in - those are conversations and opinions, and everyone has their own opinions.

However, if people post lies, like saying he is the UK's best investigative journalist, or that he's a "peaceful political dissident", or that he single handedly expose the rape gangs, or that he has committed no violence in 25 years then I am going to pull those posters up. Because those statements are patently false.

Likewise if I said "I think Starmer is an honest man but not a great or inspiring Prime Minister" you might not feel that worthy of comment as it is just an opinion and not outrageous. If I said "Starmer is by far the greatest Prime Minister the UK has ever had" then I would expect to be pulled up about it as it would be a ridiculous statement.

Likewise someone saying Starmer is worse than Hitler - do you think that should be pulled up and challenged?

If I was starting a new thread each day saying YL is violent, or a criminal, or a fraud, then fair enough to criticise. But I am only responding to comments of other people when they go way beyong what is normal or reasonable. If no outrageous claims about him I won't post about him.

See how it works now?

It might work for you but it bores the pants of most of us.

Stephen Lennon (or Tommy Robinson), in my view, is a traitor. It doesn't matter whether he is witting on not. He has consorted with a country intent on doing us harm, and which has done us harm, leading directly to the death of an innocent British citizen. He might not agree with British foreign policy, but that cannot be used as a defence. He should cooperate fully with the authorities about his meetings in Moscow, the circumstances of his visit and the involvement of Russian government and political figures.

Why do touchy? I didn’t mention skinheads or even doc martins.

Yaxley Lennon has adopted the pseudonym ‘Tommy Robinson’ the name of a notorious football hooligan.

It’s a factual statement, not a criticism of the choices you yourself have made earlier in life.

Yaxley Lennon has also used the name ‘Wayne King’, I hasten to add, that’s not a criticism of anyone either.

Because in the early days skin heads aka Bover boys wore Doc Martens and braces and were fighting every saturday at football Matches AKA a football hooligan but you know that Chomper. Was he charged when he knocked out a thug on the Underground who tormented him ? has he been charged with anything for being arrested at an Airport ? Oh and while I'm on the subject of the older days when i was in a teen in the 70's i might have been a member of the N/F but today 50 yrs later would you say " Oh barramarra was a football hooligan and a member of the N/F.

How do you know it was a "thug" in the tube station?

And he wasn't declared innocent. The police forwarded it to the CPS so they felt there was a strong case. However the key witness (or "thug" as you call him) declined to provide a statement. This meant the CPS decided there was not strong enough evidence for a certain conviction, not without the key witness.

I don't know why he didn't want to provide a statement.

I also don't know what happened, whether Yaxley-Lennon was attacked or provoked. But he wasn't vindicated, or declared innocent.

These are not UK nationals. They are two known hate mongers in the USA who have attempted to incite racial hatred. Cenk is the uncle of Hassan. Hatred is a family affair. They were blocked because of community action that questioned why they had been authorized to enter the UK. People like Labour MP David Taylor asked the Home Office to revoke their visas.

Until the protests, the UK had been willing to let them enter to promote their hate.

Multiple critics of the UK decision have stated that the revocation by the government was for show and not because of an actual abhorrence for the statements of the two men. The American Conservative journal which defended the two wrote "only a few weeks before Uygur and Piker were banned from Britain, the Home Office revoked the visas of 11 figures who were due to attend the right-wing activist Tommy Robinson’s “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London. It is hard not to suspect that this played a role in Mahmood’s decision. The UK government is currently under enormous pressure over accusations of “two-tier policing” (that is, cracking down disproportionately on right-wing speech and white working-class protesters). It is also widely seen as insufficiently robust in dealing with antisemitic threats. Banning two left-wing Israelophobes must have felt like an easy way for the home secretary to deflect some of these criticisms. "

The takeaway is that the UK has not actually changed its government policies on the admission or the activities of foreign origin violent inciters. On any given day, holders of UK passports, permission to stay & refugee visas and other visas are free to go about their activities of promoting hate and violence. The UK has made no effort to remove such people until they are implicated in actual terrorist incidents or until there is significant public outrage.
