    Can't quite believe there are still people out there who buy into people like Tommy Robinson, Gemma O'Dogherty, Rowan Croft and Hermann Kelly.

    There will always be, unfortunately. Same with any scam, really.

    That's ok I'm willing to write off them and anyone who supports them as a racist. The risk of misjudging someone is acceptable to me.

    You seem to have an issue with being prejudiced against violent thugs like robinson. What a strange attitude.

    Hard not to laugh now.


    We know Tommy's MO. Go somewhere he's not wanted then pretend to be the victim when he's moved on. If he lived in Northern Ireland he'd be insisting he could march down the Catholic areas in his orange man gear because it's his right.

    "1980s footlball hooligan" comment was hilarious. He was born in the '80s. :pac:

    Hilarious?

    Yes, I know where the name originated. I didn't say football hooliganism is hilarious, I said it was hilarious that the cop couldn't see the obvious flaw in thinking it was the same person.

    People are still falling for Nigerian email scams too so it's not that hard to believe.

    Well that says it all. If you aren't prepared to listen, you aren't prepared to learn. Either you learn something new or your thoughts are confirmed. It's a win win but sadly, most people are not willing to open their mind to the possibility that they could be wrong so they stay in a safe echo chamber

    I've watched previous Tommy Robinson videos, total scumbag.

    It's the people who watch everything he produces that are living in an echo chamber I think you'll find.

    I never suggested you watch all his videos. A poster put up a video and said that he makes great points in a specific video.

    Without watching it, you decided it was bs.

    You are not qualified to say that. You can say that you don't want to watch the video or say that based on previous videos your aren't willing to be proven wrong, but you can't justifiably say that it is bs.

    There is nothing to learn from this man.

    Then you won't learn. It's your choice. I find that there is always something to learn from everybody. Whether it is to cement my opinion or to see a different perspective. One thing is for sure though, if you go in with am attitude like yours, you certainly will never learn

    Very insightful to the person that is Tommy Robinson. A smart and articulate man. He absolutely destroyed that Belgian journalist.

    Listening to his drivel is one thing, learning is another. The only thing you can learn from what he says is racism, bigotry and flawed reasoning.

    Yeah you're right, he is a total and utter scummer in this video, he does Nazi salutes and says how he wished he was the NZ shooter-then he just glasses the guy at the end while singing "No surrender to the IRA!!".

    I disagree. Love him, hate him or be full of indifference, he makes some good points with regards bias in the media in that video. But having said that, Ive watched the video.

    Yeah but you already knew about bias in the media so what have you learned?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If you're looking for examples of bigotry and demagoguery by tommy look no further.

    Im only about 3mins in (will watch the rest later when the missus goes to bed) and I agree. Some of the rhetoric and language used is nothing short of horrendous. Some of which I had not seen before and it does leave a bad taste in my mouth.

    I believe that his views in some of the video you have shown me, he has addressed and said he regrets (still not excusing it) but I understand why people feel how they do about him. Yet I do feel he makes valid points in the other video that was linked earlier.

    I've learned that the BBC are vile. I have no issue with skewing a narrative (actually I do but I expect it) but to CREATE a narrative is beyond the pale.

    For example, the Jessie/Jussie Smullet (excuse my spelling) case. He's been proven to be a race baiter and a horrendously bad person. If this was a white person trying to further a white agenda, it would be still front page news. Most outlets did report it, but never pushed it as front page. That's disgusting

    I'd be doing it a disservice chief. It's worth hearing it from his own mouth. But the cliff notes are the fact that he reiterated that he is opposed to Islam and not to Muslims and how the media are turning him into a bogeyman. I recommend you give it a listen when you get a chance

    Sorry just noticed that, must have been after I posted. And yet you're still trying to justify it by saying he makes some valid points??

    Do you not think that he knows by now how to manipulate the media too??

    I watched the beginning of that video you posted and from the very start he's making a point of making a video tape so he knew bloody well what he was doing.

    He tries to keep a respectable face on when he's on the mainstream media as you call it and doesn't seem to have the intelligence to realise that most people can view the vile poison he spouts at rallys on YouTube in this day and age.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,763 ✭✭✭Sheeps


    Bet you the people in this thread defending the racist, have unironically referred to another Irish racist/nationalist as a patriot at some point in their lives.
