You amplify a TikTok that was meant for friends/family to your hundreds of thousands of followers with a spin/narrative that something dodgy is going on.

Question dodged, unless you're saying someone in the 'group' shared it outside the group?

I am not sure how you 'steal it'. He appears to have taken it from their TikTok account and reuploaded it to X, maybe their profile settings were not sent to private.

To be honest, how he found it isn't the issue, but what he did with it. But he uploaded it with this snide commentary, and now the family is facing abuse, threats, and he has been suspended from his job.

Re: Free Are Tommy!!
 
Right, got ya

Definitely the origin of the video on X (new name but the same toxic content) traced back to the Tommy account and verified as the antagonist then.

Glad that's sorted :D

Tommy Robinson will not be charged over an alleged assault at St Pancras railway station last month.

The British Transport Police said the Crown Prosecution Service concluded “there was not a realistic prospect of conviction.”

Police said that following an investigation, the alleged victim “did not wish to provide a statement to the investigation.”

May be because the person knew they would have to tell the truth.

The police report identified the guy as "the victim" not as "the alleged victim".

Legally, a big difference.

Still without a statement or conviction is he really either?

He was injured, therefore he was a victim, but whether it involved a crime was still "alleged".

Two people can attack one another and they are both victims. Being a victim, doesn't mean innocence.

Why aren't the media pursuing this? There would be a whole article on Tommy Robinson had the tables turned, suspicious religious hate a reason for altercation. The guy laying on the floor should be mentally (by media) and physically (whatever Tommy supposedly done) kicked in. F around and find out. Simples.

Why don't people be proactive if they don't like how the country is being run. I mean leave and pursue your better way of life. Criminal behaviour is hardly legitimately putting your point across :erm:

Nah that is what you need to get into this country and a good life, to get into another country you need more.


If I wanted to leave this mess of a country, I would need around £50k but to be sure it would be £100k, I am currently away £99,999.13p away from that.

Who are you going to voice your concerns to? King Charles. Good luck with that one.

Staying put in the country and putting on a brave face is equally just as easy. How long can you blag being part of the get along gang?

Doesn't sound good to me, if I felt that strongly there's no way I'd be pushed out, I'd stay and try to change the bits I could and support others to do the same, running away just isn't me :shrug:

So if you like your 'shit town', why aren't you supporting Crawley, rather than Arsenal? ;)

Because Crawley town FC are known as the red devils which reminds me of Man Utd whom I dislike. :D

I fell in love with the hierarchy at Arsenal back in the days when the club was classy

Heathen…. Deliciously salty salami or ham and then the pineapple washes the saltiness away,

Try a Swedish banana curry pizza…. Amazing stuff

So I find the attached interesting, although I believe the number of arrests have increased.

I also find it interesting that the Mainstream Media keep saying that it was nothing but "Far Right Thugs" and Starmer is saying the same thing but there are hundreds of videos online showing families etc enjoying a nice day out.

Another interesting thing, which I have not seemed confirmed yet but will be interesting if it's true is that Westminster Council revoked the permit for the "Unite the Kingdom rally" and that the Police were informed to remove and arrest people for attending, but the Police refused.

The best thing in my opinion would be for all the MP's to be removed, not seen a single one do anything that is good enough to outweigh the bad they have done.

It's difficult to "keep on topic" when the topic title is so meaningless!

Tommy Trinder compered the "free" London Palladium Show; Tommy Cooper was "free" to air on the London Palladium Show; Tommy Steel played decent rock and was "free" if you watch the Six Five Special.

Holly Valance, “I’m very proud and pleased for Tommy, this is his redemption. Finally. How the man screaming from the rooftops about the rape of white British girls was framed as 'the bad guy' is going to be a case study. How weak and immoral we have become. Our silence is immoral. On Saturday the lions came out.”

Elon Musk even appeared via video link as he congratulated Robinson for "putting together an amazing event".

Robinson posted on X, "We came, we saw, we conquered. Millions hit central London in a show of patriotic unity like nothing seen before. A cultural revolution has begun. The future belongs to us."

Got any links to where the "Mainstream Media" called the marchers "Far Right Thugs", please?

Can’t see that phrase on the BBC or The Times reports on the March.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwydezxl0xlo

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics...arch-q3hp3ktl5

The phrase is used in the Independent’s report, but specifically about those who attacked the police.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-b2825980.html

Quote:

Lisa Smart, the Lib Dem home affairs spokesperson, told The Independent: “The right to peaceful protest is an important cornerstone of our democracy. Anyone attacking police officers who are simply trying to do their job and keep us all safe should face the full force of the law. Far right thugs taking part in this kind of violence do not speak for Britain.”
Ed Davey used the phrase, but specifically about those attacking the police

Quote:

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.

It depends, if the thread is going to be specifically about Tommy, keep it ……and start a new one about the “unite the kingdom movement” .

Because I doubt most of the people marching were doing it for Tommy. I certainly wouldn’t have been.

Calling it the “unite the kingdom movement” doesn't drag the same amount of (advertising) revenue than calling it the 'Tommy Robinson' march.

Media aren't stupid . . most readers probably are though :D

I think the best answer is simply to close this.

If someone wants to start a new topic about him specifically, they can.
In similar fashion, anyone can start a topic about the “unite the kingdom movement”.
