Looking from the middle though, those described as "right" tend to be speaking more nonsense that those on the left, so I tend to lean left, not saying that the extreme left doesn't have crazies to.
Yes I agree, generally.
However, the arrest of Tommy Robinson, even though he seems like a right wing extremist, was unjustified and a violation of free speech. I don't necessarily defend all that he says, but he has a right to say it.
“This is not about free speech, not about the freedom of the press, nor about legitimate journalism, and not about political correctness,” the judge told Robinson at the time
“It is about justice and ensuring that a trial can be carried out justly and fairly, it’s about being innocent until proven guilty.
“It is about preserving the integrity of the jury to continue without people being intimidated or being affected by irresponsible and inaccurate ‘reporting’, if that’s what it was.”
He was not inside the courthouse.I don't know all the details, But I think that it more about the location of his protest, eg inside a court house, He has a right to free speech as much as anyone, but disturbing a courthouse is not really exercising free speech, perhaps he should have kept his protest outside.
Prior to this he had apparently been sentenced to 3 months in jail (suspended sentence), for contempt of court at the time the judge said this.
You can watch the whole live steam, including his arrest, on youtube.
Except like wayneL said, he didn't do any of those things. You can watch the whole video here.I am not much interested to go and research all the details, I do think that contempt of court is a serious thing though, and especially after he had already been found guilty on another occasion I think he should have used common sense and stayed at home, what was he trying to achieve?
the courts have a serious job to do, and interfering with that is not good.
The possibility of prejudicing juries, or inciting linch mob reactions to the defendants, are two concerns that stand in the way of me being able to express support for TR's situation. My disapproval is not with TR's message, but with his chosen delivery method.Actually by just drawing excessive attention to the case there could be difficulty in finding unbiased jurors, if it were a trial by jury. Is that contemptible? Otherwise I can't understand why anyone would be arrested for filming such an event.
