From Elsewhere – On the Tommy Robinson case

 

I find, as others have, that I must ‘tip the hat to Mrs Justice Grundy’ and not give too much ‘detail’ on the court proceedings that have resulted in Mr Tommy Robinson being sentenced to a term of 13 months in gaol. But, I also feel that I can and must write about the reaction to a sentence by a judge that, as I said in an article yesterday, looks a little like judicial overreach.

This, is the first of a series of articles on this subject, that I will do my best to write without breaching the conditions of the court order from Leeds Crown Court. I will not mention the names of the defendants in the case in question and neither will I say much more about the case at the centre of this storm, except that it concerns one of the modern scourges that Britain suffers from, the scourge of Islamic sex crime.

The article that I would like to highlight here is one by Tim Newman the editor of the White Sun Of The Desert’ blog. It is reasonable, measured and informative, yet does not ignore the reasons why Britain’s Establishment have led us to a point where, as Mr Newman says, people ‘are being arrested for embarrassing the ruling classes.

Mr Newman said:

Yesterday the right-wing provocateur Tommy Robinson was arrested for livestreaming the comings and goings outside a British court building where a rape trial involving Muslims was ongoing. Within hours the British government had placed a gagging order on the press, so as usual it fell to Twitter to tell everyone what went on.

The chattering classes are this morning stroking their chins and sternly reminding us that filming outside a courtroom is illegal and Robinson is currently serving a suspended sentence for the same offence. Reporting on ongoing court matters is strictly controlled in the UK in order not to prejudice a trial, and people make a valid point when they say Robinson’s actions could result in a mistrial. At best, he’s been very naive and probably ought to find himself a reliable legal adviser if he’s going to keep doing stuff like this.

However, there is a lot more going on here and the chattering classes are either deliberately overlooking it or, more likely, utterly unaware of it. Robinson has not been arrested for filming outside a court building, he’s been arrested because he embarrasses the ruling classes. He has been constantly followed, monitored, and harassed by Plod wherever he goes solely because he draws attention to the failings of the ruling classes. In this particular instance, he is making the point that the mainstream media is silent on the issue of Muslims raping vulnerable, underage British girls in northern, working-class towns, leaving it to people like him with iPhones to keep everyone informed. While he’s probably mistaken the lack of media coverage of this ongoing case for self-censorship rather than mere compliance with the law, the wider point is that the media does self-censor and particularly so in cases such as these. The modern British media is merely a mouthpiece for the ruling classes, which is why so many journalists have taken to Twitter to pompously besmirch Robinson and justify his arrest and incarceration. The last thing mainstream journalists want is some pleb without the proper credentials, much less a degree from Oxford or Cambridge, reporting on things they’d prefer went unmentioned.

Please read the rest of this post by Mr Newham, its well worth reading, especially in the current political and social climate. You can read the entirety of Mr Newman’s post via the link below:

  1. OT but another example of pandering:
    I happened to see a bit of yet another mediocre fly-on-the-wall BBC1 programme this morning, “Neighbourhood Blues”.
    It followed a plastic policeman and woman as they raced to the scene to investigate the “hate crime” of someone mowing the word “white” into a grassy bank. It was pretty unreadable except from high up, but it was near a mosque (where isn’t in some cities?) so became an emergency.

    The plod spent a fair amount of time grilling (“reassuring”) local residents and getting emergency mowers from the council to speedily erase the word which even they originally admitted isn’t in itself offensive. They soon forget this original assessment as they, and the commentary, constantly refer to the act as a “hate crime” thereafter. There was, of course the questionable, but presented as fact, statement in the commentary that hate crimes against mosques has doubled.

    The policeman went into the mosque to look at CCTV while the policewoman said that she’ll leave it to him as she stayed outside. No mention from anyone, on or off screen, as to why this particular representative of the nominally British Law might not be welcome inside.

    I’m sure we are all delighted to see how both the police and council with their “Toree Cutz” and supposedly limited resources choose to prioritize when a certain demographic might kick up a fuss.

    If any local was brave enough to question the narrative while a BBC camera was thrust in their face, and knowing that they had to carry on living next door to a church of the perpetually angry, it didn’t make it on to screen.
