Judge: “Mr Yaxley how do you plead?”
Tommy: “Guilty bruv, it’s a fair cop I definitely dunnit”
Tommy’s fans: “it’s a outrage! Conspiracy! Riot!” |
Apparently, and this is as much as we are permitted to know, It was done so quickly that he wasn't allowed time to get his own solicitor and was allocated a duty solicitor.He was advised to plead guilty, get a slap on the wrist and be off home within a few weeks or so, but It didn't work out like that.The more perceptive of us can work out why | | | |

Reporting restrictions were in place, he broke them once and was given a suspended sentence and warned that what he was doing could not be repeated. He did repeat it, broke the terms of the suspension of his sentence, admitted he was guilty, he’s in prison. Justice done. |
Only now catching up with all this - just got up from an eighth 12-hour night shift on the bounce and I’m slurring and reeling a bit like a drunk. I’m getting too old for this... 
Right then, a couple of things, the Huddersfield Examiner journalist Stephanie Finnegan (already cited on this thread) was on Radio 4 this morning and let something interesting slip. She was one of two ‘proper’ reporters outside of the court and was saying that prior to Tom commencing his streaming schtick he had enquired of the police present if he was “alright to crack on, this isn’t breaking any laws, is it?” Having been given the nod he was off and running. Now it was clear from the interview segment that Finnegan has about as much time for Tom as you do but she seemed to think there was something ‘off’ about the sequence of events.
Regardless of what anybody thinks of Tom or what they think he stands for to be arrested, charged and gaoled within the space of what, four to five hours speaks to me of Home Office orchestration and is reminiscent of one of two things: either a Field Court Martial or the Star Chamber, this isn’t modern due process as anybody knows it.
Stay away from central London on the 9th and 10th of June, love. It’s going to be bedlam up there, come home to visit Mam for a couple of days. |  |

That's correct, he did ask the police present if he was ok, and they said he was.It can be heard on the extended video | | | |

At last someone else looking at it from a neutral down the middle viewpoint and not influenced by who he is rather than the events that happened. The last time I saw someone get arrested have a trial and be sentenced that quick I was watching Judge Dredd [Post edited 30 May 2018 15:29]

There’s something else happening here that seems a bit strange Tom is becoming the focal point for a lot of generalised working class resentment and frustration, I’m getting that just from conversations in work. It’s not a position he has sought nor particularly merits and not one he’s remotely capable of living up to. His isn’t the head the halo of fire should come to rest on.
A mass movement is beginning to coalesce without leadership and that has to be a first on these islands. Historically it has always been the other way around. You get the lone voice that starts to echo, then amplify. All we have now is a lot of angry shouting. | |

I don’t care whether he’s in prison or not the blokes a beauty. I pulled you up on your point about him being there may have resulted in the case being jeapordised. Load of bollocks. | | | |

streaming schtick he had enquired of the police present if he was “alright to crack on, this isn’t breaking any laws is it?"
And before asking that question did he tell the officer that he had been convicted of contempt of court and ordered by the Court to stay away? Like hell he did.
Robinson is a chancer gaming the system, he goes to jail for a few weeks and comes out several hundred thousand pounds richer because of increased avenue revenue on his YouTube account and donations from rich US alt-right groups. Heck, maybe even Lohengrin will send him a few quid.
Having fair trials is important, and this one could have been destroyed because of him.
Save your sympathies for the families of the 37 journalists and cameramen killed in 2017 reporting on events around the world. [Post edited 30 May 2018 15:48]

Perhaps you are able to recant the conversation outside the court in its entirety? I am interested, Glyn, enlighten me. | |

I totally agree I’ve not spoken to anyone who thinks what’s happened is good. To be fair the way the establishment have been acting it was only a matter of time before people got pushed too far. |  | | |

He asked the cops if he was doing anything wrong and they said no, but minutes later he was arrested. It was irrelevant whether the officer knew about any previous offence, because he was arrested for breech of the peace, which a short while ago the officer said he hadn't commited | | | |

I remember watching QI when Stephen Fry said to Alan Davies, ‘ Alan, virtually everything you say that starts with ‘apparently’ Is complete bollox’.
Again, the Secret Barrister sums this up better than could I:
“Yaxley-Lennon was defended by an experienced member of the independent criminal Bar. He may have been offered the duty solicitor at the police station if his chosen solicitor was not available, but in the Crown Court hearing he was advised and represented by a specialist criminal barrister with over 16 years of experience of cases including murder, people-trafficking, serious violence and serious sexual offences. As an independent barrister, this professional prosecutes as well as defends (most of us do), but his website profile in fact emphasises his experience as a defence advocate. In other words, Yaxley-Lennon had a top-notch defence barrister fighting his corner.”
The most perceptive look at the facts rather than listen to the inane ramblings of nutters on social media. | | | |

All I did was say exactly what the young girl has stated on The Today programme on Radio 4 at around half six this morning. She didn’t elaborate. I thought you knew more going off the tenor of your post? | |

He wasn't arrested for that, he was arrested for an alleged breech of the peace, there's a huge difference here |
It’s irrelevant. | | | |

If it is stalking Marty uses the scatter-gun approach, EVERYBODY cops it.
Every once in a while I’ll come out with something he approves of and I’ll earn myself an up-arrow. He likes to give me a Chinese burn then kiss it better. | |
