Tommo has pleaded not guilty and that gives me hope he is receiving good legal advice. Wholesale not guilty pleas are probably more of a concern to the establishment than any crimes that may be committed. It's the start of the peaceful non-compliance, and further breakdown of the high trust society. The establishment have brought it on themselves at a time when their resources are already stretched.

If we’ve learned anything from Southport through the likes of Connolly and Lynch, pleading guilty gets you banged up for the maximum period anyway without any discount for saving court time. Of those who pled not guilty many got off.

Barrister Steven Barrett on his live q&a last night said CPS had totally messed this up. He expects case to be thrown out.

Laura Nelson's avatar

Nope. The judiciary have been told to make examples of these 'rebels' in order to suppress the masses and that is what will happen.

Jane Noble Knight's avatar

Yes but it’s going to jury trial in March I think. There is also an appeal in November against bail being refused last I heard.

And who will they pick to be on the jury the judiciary are just as involved in 2 tier justice as it is.

Not only do we not fear them, we despise them, and have every intention of bringing them - all of them - to book as soon as may prove practicable. If you can pursue ex-servicemen for over half a century, politicians should sooner or later expect a knock at the mansion gates or their care home door

Despise. Exactly. Non violent and disciined.

They also need to be accused of, exposed, and feel shame in what they are doing to our once fine country. Shame, in the old fashioned, very serious sense.

Eva's avatar

The thing is, you need a soul, a moral compass and a conscience in order to feel shame.

I can’t think of a politician who has any of them.

If you haven't read The Handmaid's Tale, then do so. If you haven't read George Orwell's 1984 then do so. Just because it should be true/turn out a certain way does not mean it will in this day and age. The 'powers that be' are determined to wipe us out. And at this rate they may well succeed.

Fiona walker's avatar

Very familiar with both of them thank you, read 1984 first as a teenager, the Handmaid’s Tale on publication. Both seem like playbooks now. Can I recommend to you Ira Levin’s This Perfect Day in return.

Our governments over the last 30 years have NOT had the interests of the majority at the forefront of their policies spurred on by the illness, for which there is no cure, 'Suicidal Empathy' they have actively sought to change the face of the UK on the altar of multiculturalism and diversity.

BTW Pakistan has not one Christian judge so why do we have a Muslim as Deputy Senior District Judge (Deputy Chief Magistrate) for England and Wales?

Laura Nelson's avatar

Because we are 'nice' and 'fair'!

I have tremendous respect for the courage of Danny Tommo and Tommy Robinson. I hate myself for not sharing that degree of courage which is partly due to me being in my late 60s. But this has to become a movement that we’re all part of and know our roles. It’s clear this won’t happen through politics and the ballot box which is undoubtedly rigged and increasingly pointless.

For age reasons I also cannot join protests…..but I support all that Tommo and Robinson are doing, they are true patriots who are trying to change the direction in which our country is heading at speed under Labour. I guess I am just an armchair warrior on Substack - but my hope is that I can point out issues that will open more minds to what is rapidly coming the way of the patriotic citizens of our once great country. Sadly not enough ‘normal and patriotic’ citizens view Substack - they take their news and views from BBC. How do we change that? Meanwhile….all the best Tommo, show the bstds we are NOT giving in.

As a woman who will be 75 next month, I think there’s room for both UTK and Danny Tommo. I’m happy to join in with peaceful protests but at 5 feet I’m not going to be stopping much physically! However I was arrested on a peaceful protest in 2007 and am willing to be arrested again for the greater good. The charge of aggravated trespass at that time was dropped a few days before the trial btw. We can all do our bit.

Fiona walker's avatar

There’s room for both. Defenceless women standing obviously unarmed in protest against cops in full body armour is a very strong look.

The fact is that the government has no intention of stopping the boats so we can only conclude that they actively approve of them and want them to come to the UK.

Laura Nelson's avatar

Look at the piece on X by a whistleblower from Manchester Airport who has told someone on X (reporter/journalist/activist) about the plane-loads of men being brought in every night who do not go through any border controls or security. The airport workers are all banned from the area. Night, after night.

Some video graphic evidence would be good. There are to many rumours flying around to know what is true or not.

George's avatar

Tommys demonstrations serve the British people by showing the populace who support his politics that they are law abiding, rather than ‘far right’ ‘thugs’.

That makes it harder for the media to vilify actions by people like Tommo when they try to ‘stop the boats’.

I’m sure there are thousands of people, Peter included, who wonder when they will receive a knock on the door late at night.

It’s the reason why the government orders the police’s malicious actions.

It backfires though.

I have joined the FSU and I believe a lot of others have done the same.

It eases the nerves to know that someone’s got your back and can wipe the floor with these malicious, totalitarian tactics.

I would recommend anyone worried about ‘La Milice’ calling after dark, joins the FSU too.

You say Danny Tommo is facing a 'trivial charge' but intent to endanger life can carry up to life in prison. He needs a strong legal team and the full backing of the movement.

Jane Noble Knight's avatar

I think charge has been downgraded to criminal damage.

The Martyr's avatar

Criminal damage on a dinghy used to transport people illegally? That’s great use of CPS and Court time.

George's avatar

He hasn’t been charged with endangering life. The only charge is damaging property.

I noticed Asmongold read out one of your tweets earlier. Hopefully it gave you a nice uplift of followers on X.

Much of this protest is held on the south coast, where the migrants arrive to. We also need protests around the full breadth of the country to split the regimes resources. Blocking access to migrant camps. Protesting outside migrant HMOs as happened in Thetford.

John Paul's avatar

I believe that a lot of the charges have been dropped. The main one is RIPE because he won't give his phone PIN over. They want that so they can go through his contacts. He knows that and that is why he won't give it up. I think the police want to know how he organised Portsmouth and Dover without their intelligence picking it up.

Never plead guilty! Make the bastards prove their case.

Not being cunty today Pete? Finally, good to see fella!

Laura Nelson's avatar

I feel very bad for Danny Tommo because he's been put back in his box by the legal system. He's been refused bail and has opted for a trial. Good for him, but let's not underestimate the terrible emotional & psychological toll this will exact from him. This week, someone who threw a plastic water bottle at police has been sentenced to two years, but rapists are allowed to go free with a slap on the wrist. What have we become? I despair.
