    Statistically, most child abuse is from within the family, and most of that from the male side of the parental relationship.

    Just to clarify I wasn't commenting on your views.

    I just think political threads are doomed before they start.

    Ok.

    Listen for what’s its worth I think TR is somewhat of a berk n yes he’s probably nothing more than a racist who tries to hide it through his crusade but you have to admit there is a real problem in this country with sexual abuse from most races, origins, religions etc and it needs stamping out.

    People agreeing that it needs fetching to the attention of the public dosent mean there fascists or avid lovers of the EDL, some people will carry agendas the same way TR does but for millions more it’s a way of sharing the expressions of what others dare to think or say but fear of being labelled.[/QUOTE]
    I'd leave it. You are just digging a big hole for yourself.

    The people in the courtroom are being charged with serious offences. People like TR acting like a fascist vigilante is not going to make your kids safer. And yes I said it was not you being racist. You said you were worried about nonces and free speech.

    What seems to have been lost by Robinson's cheerleaders is that his actions might have jeopardised the trial itself. In cases where there are multiple defendants a number of trials might be held across a number of courts and, desirable as it might be, they might not be held on the same day or finish at the same time. In order not to influence the jurors in the other trials, judges will often impose reporting restrictions so that we don't get trial by media. If defence counsel feels that jurors have been compromised and their clients are therefore unlikely to receive a fair trial they can ask the judge to have the trial ended. In those instances justice is not served and children are no safer, all because of the actions of a vigilante.

    And by saying that you were implying she was a racist, it was pretty obvious you wasn't very cunning. You just echo the media's unjust profiling of people - the media love to label people who are not conventional, they try tie tommy robinson with the racist thugs who follow him. Hes not and if you listen to him he actually makes some good points, but it's easier to just tarnish him with a label than actually debate and people like yourself jump on the bandwagon. I can guarantee he knows far more about Islam than the vast majority of people that villainise him and has much more experience about it's influence in which he has experienced first hand. I suggest you watch his speech at oxford university as he really presents what he stands for in a very honest way, no Rebel Media influence or the media trying to twist his words.
