Tommy Robinson, the erstwhile founder of hate groups like the English Defence League and Pegida UK is out of action today. It’s not entirely clear what happened but various far right sources are claiming he’s gone down for 13 months after being found in contempt of court yesterday in Leeds.
Robinson, who was already on a 3 month suspended sentence for contempt of court in Ramsgate live-streamed himself outside Leeds Crown court yesterday commenting on the trial of various alleged child groomers and paedophiles. Previously claiming to be a reporter for ‘Rebel’, a Canadian far right news outlet, Robinson now has his own independent ‘news’ outfit although quite how it’s funded is far from clear. He seems to have ignored a reporting ban imposed on the trial and thus found himself arrested for his pains.
His online video showed him being arrested, apparently for ‘breach of the peace’ but then subsequent online claims by his supporters cite contempt of court. It seems that this much at least is correct.
It’s interesting that he’s rumoured to have been given 13 months when his suspended sentence was only for 3 months. We’ll have to await the official reports to find out exactly what the truth is.
That didn’t stop the usual far right crowd from building themselves a rather rickety little bandwagon and filling it to capacity with a handful of supporters to protest about ‘free speech’. Not that this is anything to do with free speech. It’s almost certainly about justice, non-interference with court cases and reporting bans imposed on ongoing trials.
The stupidity of the far right in misunderstanding the nature and purpose of UK law (you know – the thing they want ‘Johnny foreigner’ to respect) is so commonplace it hardly raises an eyebrow in the EBF office any more.
What did sicken us was the disrespect and blatant hypocrisy of Katie (Hatie) Hopkins. This outspoken haridon, this advocate of all things Aryan, this hater of humanity had the audacity first to plagiarise and then to distort Pastor Niemoller’s famous anti-nazi poem, “First they came for the socialists…”
To liken Robinson to those who opposed the Nazis in pre-war Germany is like comparing your local butcher with the national vegetarian society. Robinson, like Hatie herself has much in common with the nazis who so persecuted pastor Niemoller and next to nothing in common with the decent people of UK who fought against them.
Tommy Robinson is being lauded as a hero of free speech when really he’s nothing more than a jumped up football hooligan who saw an opportunity to turn hatred into hard cash.
We hope he really has gone away for 13 months but quite frankly – we have our doubts.


I was going to write my annual piss take with some Landlord friends of mine along the lines of I’m a racist cockwomble get me out of here. Instead with the diplomatic incident caused by Screechy and cohorts I thought I’d talk about that instead.
I was out having coffee with an old friend from my hometown when the news broke. We were sitting in a swanky coffee shop making adoring noises in the general direction of our new humans (her delightful little treasure is a month or two older than mine) when our mutual admiration fest was interrupted by mobile phone alerts. My old friend was first to comment.
The I’m outraged at ……. season has begun at Biffer command and watch out if your skin is slightly more tanned than theirs… you’re going to get it. As sure as eggs are eggs Poppy anger rolls into Christmas being banned, into Easter being stopped into St George’s day and then back to Remembrance Day again. You can set your watch, calendar or phone by it when frothing biffers recount tales of unicorns and pots of gold at the rainbow’s end – or lies as we like to call them.
So here I am again, a month after Britain First was imploding with allegations from nasty fascists against nasty fascists and the charges hanging over them. Fast forward a month and the Britain Firsts own Eva and Adolf are off on a European jaunt fucking over their supporters who blindly send money to a legal fund that appears to be funding the European invasion. The bollocks they spout about visiting fellow patriots across the continent they quite frankly hate. To be honest the only patriots they have been photographed with have been a confused looking youngish bloke and a dead ringer for a resistance member from ‘Allo ‘Allo.
Well there’s a thing, another week of lovely warm sunshine keeping winter at bay and I’m getting it in the neck from the Landlady for putting away the summer play things in the pub garden, I blame the weathermen who told me it was going to be a short Indian summer.
The poppies were burnt, yes but a long time ago, the people doing it were dealt with there and then and they were rightly convicted and fined. It reminds me of the pictures I saw of a certain BNP racist cockwomble wandering around the cenotaph with a pair of Y-fronts om his head. If you havent seen this before this arsewipe has become leader of a “registered political” party.
Finally Christmas, I don’t think there is a day goes by in November or December that a headline in the gruesome threesome, a meme or a link to an ultra right wing think tank that doesn’t say CHRISTMAS GETS CANCELLED. Now I don’t like Christmas apart from my coffers bulging but each to their own. The Muslims I know celebrate the day, maybe not as christians do but still give presents, invite friends for a cocktail or three (grrr not spending in my gaff) and generally enjoy the time as much as a certain grumpy landlord. Also, in the afternoon, Naz opens his store for forgotten things and fags. The reasons lights, decorations or trees don’t go up is not Muslims, grumpy landlords or athiests it’s because councils can’t afford it, health and safety or a myriad of other reasons.
I sit here basking in the late summer sunshine, beer in hand, kids running about (now finally back at school). I’m wondering what the fuck brexit means, whether my life would’ve been better had I been to grammar school and I’m watching the paralympics on TV, marvelling at how these athletes overcame disabilities to perform at the highest level with more patrotism than the combined darkside of the far right fucknuggets.
Before joining Team EBF I was very much fighting the right wing, trolling various pages with mates and making an annoyance of ourselves. The EDL, various Infidel pages, Casuals, and of course Britain First all had visits. But thinking back on it, it never made any difference to the way they thought. To bastardise a Farage (ugh) phrase, “racist means racist.” Although it was fun, and made me many new facebook friends I wasn’t going to change the knuckledragging idiots nor stop their disgusting lies.
