Tommy Robinson

[husaberg]

Interestingly, the Pump Court Chambers website describes Matthew Scott on his profile page as "A specialist criminal advocate with considerable expertise in defending allegations of rape and child cruelty".

Now with all due respect to Matthew Scott, I'm well aware that even the most vicious of criminals have the right to a defence council, but it gives an insight into the level of contempt that he obviously has for Tommy Robinson.

Matthew Scott probably wishes he had been in that court that day defending the 'alleged' rapists.

How the heck would you even think you could think you know what a legal professional wished.
AKA on the other hand was found to be in contempt of court by two judges that found him to be in contempt of court on two separate occasions.

I note off the website you posted
http://www.pumpcourtchambers.com/peo.../matthew-scott

Matthew specialises in serious crime, including murder, serious sexual and violent offences, offences against children as well as cases involving drugs and fraud. In the past year Matthew has defended successfully in a number of serious cases tried at Crown Courts in the South of England. Matthew is a specialist rape prosecutor

So have they lost yet?

Postponed until Sunday morning according to a source.

Having just finished wading through the comments at the end of the article, I can say that they make just as interesting reading as the article itself.

And considering the time and effort Matthew Scott appears to have put into his hatchet job on Tommy Robinson, he's certainly not very forthcoming in his replies to some very pertinent questions - particularly those from a certain Mr B J Mann.

(Rather an unfortunate name if it's not a pseudonym, but at least it should get our resident Berk all lathered up again).

I might even get up and watch.

I'm sure his main aim was publicity - although not for himself but rather for the cause that he's protesting about.

I'm still not sure he was fully aware of the level of censure that he stood to receive though.

I don't really think Tommy Robinson was planning to offer himself up to Martyrdom.

I think that was exactly his intention, the level of publicity he has achieved through going to jail is far in excess of anything he would have got otherwise

Simply going to jail isn't the level of Martyrdom I'm talking about though.

It's unlikely but not impossible anything will happen to him over and above going to jail, given the backlash that would occur it's in the authorities best interests to keep him safe

I think they realise that now.

That possibly wasn't the case when he was initially sentenced to this particular term of imprisonment though.

The Daily Mirror reports that the "Justice for Tommy Robinson" protest has been scrapped by the organisers because it clashes with England's World Cup game.

It seems that "justice" will just have to wait. :

The Daily Mirror reports....

[pritch]

Yeah, none of the serious press give much of a fuck about him, so he's tabloid fodder.

By all means post on here if the organisers decide to compete with an England World Cup match. As thick as they may be, you're outdoing them handsomely. May I suggest you actually think before you post?
Radical I know but...

Really, that's what you think was the case? even though on the last two occasions when he was imprisoned, he was not placed in the general population for his own safety.
You have proven yourself to be rather lacking in common sense regarding maters which you offer an opinion about.

You've always struck me as a Daily Mirror type.

[Katman]

Did you notice the word 'possibly' in the post you've quoted?

Yip
Only it wasn't even really a remote possibility at all now was it.
When you actually consider, as i have repeated that at least three times now, He was placed outside of the general population for his own protection at least the last two times he was incarcerated. Probably every time he was imprisoned.
But don't let mere facts get in the way of your ill informed conspiracy driven opinion.
