And thus we see, entirely as expected, that the outrage has been engendered by what the author (gently, in my view, since the reality of this sort of far-right, collective, militant stupidity is way worse) refers to as "co-ordinated transnational campaigns disseminating blatant falsehoods about our legal system and gaslighting the public".

When the judgment is available, as it will be, we will review and dissect it here and, of course, no one who needs to grapple with it will be in this thread discussing it - they will have moved on to helping propagate the next misinformation campaign.

God bless the internet.
I quite like that guys writing style. Are you 2 related? :P

Interesting article. Again proves there's 2 sides to a story and different people form different opinions of people based on their own biases.

I have some level of sympathy for this bloke. His intentions seem reasonable to me, but he doesn't seem to have the brains to get his actions in order.

^ if the defendants were white anglos like Rolf Harris or large numbers of the Catholic church his voice would be drowned out by everyone else. The media and police have avoided dealing with the issue because they fear being called racist, that,s why it all got so bad. This is a failure of policing and the public service as much as the alleged perpetrators.

Australia had a similar issue a few years ago: this is the judges perspective a few years down the track.

Due to better policing and education it hasn't happened at that level again.
When that happens the Tommy Robinson's and pedestals to put them on disappear.

Really David? Sounds like typical cant to me. The "Muzzies" seem to be a protected species by the left which means anyone who calls out this kind of behaviour is attacked as racist, nazi, facist etc.

Reverse the question. If it was another immigrant group systematically organising rape of minors, would you attack this person so strongly for trying to bring attention to it?

I see. expressing a necessary contrary view against the many leftist apologists for the most gay-hating anti-feminist terrorism-associated theocratic mainstream religion in the world cue the moral equivalencers between Western Christianity and Islam based on the 15th century or obscure Xtian sects is expressing a necessary contrary view against the many leftist apologists for the most gay-hating anti-feminist terrorism-associated theocratic mainstream religion in the world cue the moral equivalencers between Western Christianity and Islam based on the 15th century or obscure Xtian sects ?
