If this isn't supporting What Robinson is saying I don't know what is. Oh and he decided to do it on a thread about the 40+ Muslims gunned down in New Zealand.

I imagine if you replace the name Tommy Robinson with Abu Hamza and I'd said these things it would have been totally ok.

I’ve got at least 5 people on my Facebook, people I went to school with who happily share Tommy Robinson BS. It’s becoming a huge problem.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

What does Tommy Robinson have to do with all this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He’s a poster boy for racist be11ends. That’s what.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There’s no way to express concern about culture without attracting such attention. But surely that doesn’t mean we don’t raise them?

Sam Harris and the late great Christopher Hitchens have spoken about this for years. They will take away your right to complain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
As I posted earlier, he has a lot of supporters in the increasingly prevalent right wing groups in New Zealand
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He has millions of supporters most of whom feel Islam isn’t wholly compatible with a progressive west.

Surely that’s not a controversial view.

Tommy Robinson might not have anything to do with this particular incident no, but he's part of a large problem of demonising certain groups of people and spreading propoganda aimed to make you angry and cause hate and division.

The attacker today literally said in his own manifesto that he wants a race war between Europeans and Muslims, and he repeated a lot of anti Muslim propoganda that you often see shared on social media.

It's not that much of a stretch to see why people like Robinson are being mentioned.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it’s preposterous to be honest.

People must be able to express anti-Islamic sentiments and criticise religions and cultures without being blamed for the worlds atrocities.

Hitchens would be spinning in his grave at all this.

Forget the terrorists themselves - just blame those who denounce those who champion second class rights of females right?

Do you think we should do anything to stop the spread of islamic extremism in the UK then? Or is radicalisation just free speech and it should be encouraged?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm pretty sure there are agencies constantly working on exactly what you have said there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They don’t seem to be doing a very good job do they.

I take the Sam Harris view that something like Islam is better defeated by discourse in media and in public spheres.

At the moment, it’s in a protective bubble with no room for any progressive discourse.

It’s not scapegoating. It’s a sign of the times. For example, Roman Catholics was more dangerous in the 30s for its open alliance with fascism and antisemitism.


-----------


So out of the people he's mentioned in his writings....


Tommy Robinson:

“Every single Muslim watching this... on 7/7 you got away with killing and maiming British citizens... you had better understand that we have built a network from one end of the country to the other end... and the Islamic community will feel the full force of the English Defence League if we see any of our British citizens killed, maimed, or hurt on British soil ever again.”

Sam Harris:

"It is time we admitted that we are not at war with 'terrorism.' We are at war with Islam."

Melanie Philips:

"Islamophobia is a fiction to shut down debate"


Can anybody see a pattern emerging?

Thank you for posting quotes I made which categorically exhibit no racism.

Unless you think the ability to criticise religion is now racist?

Metro has run off because he can't back up his arguments.

If he's a Tommy Robinson supporter then to be honest, he's not worth engaging with anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’ve backed up everything I’ve said with sound reasoning.

It’s your inability to comprehend said reason that’s got you up in arms.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nope.

You’ve accused people of saying things they haven’t said and you’ve agreed with a woman who has made things up to suit her own agenda.

Slow hand clap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I said that they’d use racism as a means to defend the Duchess.

Jessica Mulroney "When that person is your friend and your family, you call those critics what they truly are. Shame on you, you racist bullies."

Jameela Jamil “Ugh. Dear England and English press, just say you hate her because she’s black, and him for marrying a black woman and be done with it God dammit“

Priyanka Chopra “Of course it has to do with racism, it's an obvious reason”

I guess I’ve taken those 3 quotes out of context... right?

No hand claps for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That’s not what you or the article said, actually.

What you’ve done there is lie about the original point. Have a little read back and let me know when you realise where you went wrong.

Also Kung Fu Cantona..

It’s quite easy to google nasty quotes from atom my Robinson. The question is why you would attribute them here?

Do you believe that agreeing with Tommy’s Robinson view on the freedom to criticise or even mock religion must mean we agree on everything?

Of course not. That’s childish discourse.

It’s a bit like saying you happen to share the same taste in food as Ted Bundy, therefore you condone the rape and murder of innocent women.

Sounds preposterous right? That’s because it is.

Shame on you to be honest. It’s a diabolical tactic.

You said no when asked if you support TR, I've found quotes of you supporting TR on the very day 49 Muslims were slaughtered.

Agreeing with ANYTHING he says is disgusting because we know where those sentiments come from.

Shame on me? Shame on you! You are filth.

You don't need to agree with Tommy Robinson to decide freedom of speech is ok, it's already inshrined in law, there is only one reason you're attracted to these characters.

There’s just no satisfying you I’m afraid. You move the goalposts when it suits.

It’s a rather straightforward sequence of logic to follow.

I’ll put into order for you:

1. Melanie Philips calls out those who cry racism in defence of the Duchess.

2. Winston says Melanie is, and I quote ‘inventing things to base her ridiculous opinion on”

3. I provide evidence of people who justified Melanie’s claim.

4. Winston says that names won’t suffice and that he’d like quotes.

5. Winston then says, and I quote ‘You're taking what has been said entirely out of context‘

6. I provide 3 full quotes from the individuals presented that all suggest that racism is the reason why the Duchess was criticised.

7. Winston now says, and I quote ‘That’s not what you or the article said, actually‘


In conclusion. There really is no helping you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So if Tommy Robinson said that rape is wrong, you’d disagree with him because it’s Tommy Robinson?

I’m very confident that the intelligent posters on here can distinguish between agreeing with a persons point on a particular issue and actually being a supporter of the man himself.

It's odd, many people have criticised Islam and Muslims but you use specifically a person who is racist as your example in your agreement to criticise Islam and Muslims as he doesn't like brown people. Yet you find it hard to see why people make the link?

I find myself agreeing with Winston over the Melanie Phillips article. It's a poor article to use to back your point up.

Markle has been slated by many people, some who have slated her, are racists, xenophobes, classists, and bigots. To deny there isn't is same to being blind. The campaign of looking down upon her started with how much the media put the spot light on her family members such as her sister and father. To think it started later would be ignoring how they reported how she left out her father for the wedding or didn't invite her sister, etc. Compare that with what Middleton has faced and it pales in comparison.

People will naturally look at why this is and if the criticism is fair or over the top. People who are her friends and who have suffered abuse due to their skin colour will naturally feel its that. I don't 100%agree with them. I also believe her nationality and background also play a part. If she was white, she would English, and the same class as Middleton she'd not face as much as she does.

That's my view on it. Why else would the OP say she's a chancer while providing no reason for his claim? Someone else provided examples of Middleton being more of one yet the OP is silent on that.

It was the day Tommy Robinson was arrested - hence why he was discussed.

You can agree with Winston all you like. The fact remains that Melanie’s point is objectively true - which in turn, means that you and Winston are objectively wrong.

Then I’ll have to treat you like I’ve treated Winston.

The logic in question is whether you can agree with a person on a particular issue without being a supporter of them.

I then used a Paul Pogba example to ridicule the logic.

Somebody then agreed the logic was ridiculous.

I assure you lads - you’ve been firmly put in your places with this one.

I know, very odd. Just as odd as pretending he doesn't support TR and then pretending he hasn't been exposed with direct quotes supporting his ideas.
