BBC last night on a late news show had a (12 minute) piece about TR in general. I didn't watch it, just saw the lead in ad, but some of you may be interested in searching it out.
(I think it may have been Newsnight on BBC2 if you are searching)
EDIT: BBC iPlayer link for those that can connect past the geoblock
"When Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - the former leader of far-right group the EDL, was jailed for contempt of court, a petition for his release attracted more than half a million signatures.
No longer involved with the English Defence League, he has gathered support after campaigning against what he calls "Muslim grooming gangs," following now concluded court cases around England.
He has also campaigned in Italy, Germany and other European countries where anti Islam parties have made electoral gains.
This phenomenon has not been seen here in the UK but Tommy Robinson appears to be gaining some apparently more mainstream political backing.
The leader of UKIP has said he would like him to join his party.
So, is Robinson tapping into anti-Muslim sentiment, or simply fermenting it - and what are the roots of his support? This report by Gabriel Gatehouse contains strong language and comments some might find offensive." -

@rancid-schnitzel they had the 'fat expert' from Massey uni on TV last night (the project)... far out. I get there are many reasons contributing to obesity and that 'shaming', in the genuine sense, isnt overly helpful for most. But to try and frame any and all commentary about risks and implications of obesity as shaming is fucking bullshit and dangerous.
Fuck it. Fat people die.
Edit: just to elaborate ... obesity is a health issue. Just re read this and it may appear I was imploring fat people to die. Given my current weight that would be ... awkward.

Indeed. But should over eaters with mental disorders be lumped in with lazy dumb fluffybunnies?

@kirwan Funnily enough Lineham was one of the main comedians calling for Markus Meechams prosecution. The sheer idiocy of these folk who don't understand the consequences of these prosecutions.
"...And then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up."
Short documentary on the Nazi pug has just been released.

Good summation of the slow death of sanity in the UK.
How anyone living in UK iS not freaked out about this is beyond me.

Can you imagine how fucked we would be if the Fern was still hosted in the UK?

There are so many Gender Studies SJW buzzwords here it makes my eyes bleed.
This quote:
Mr Purnell said: “We’re aiming to create the most open, inclusive culture we can.”
Just make sure you don't talk about biology, or the culture will suddenly seem less open and inclusive.

Did you watch the video? British police are investigating online speech they deem to be offensive.
If we were hosted in UK (which we were for several years) I’d have to give up personal information for posters posting comments like Barons, or god forbid rap lyrics.
People are getting jail time for this stuff.

Of course I watched it. I commented on it.
I think you are vastly over estimating how widespread this is.
There’s probably a million tweets per minute more offensive than anything ever written on TSF. This is not to say you don’t have a point - you do.
But for me, there just has to be more to it.

That instance of convicting and home detaining the 17 year old girl from Liverpool is the one that bugs me.
Copy and pasted some internet sourced rap lyrics in remembrance of her 12 year old friend who got killed by a car.
All because the lyrics contained the n word (spelt with an a at the end), a whole group of adults decided her life should be stained with a conviction and detention.
These people claim to do this in order to keep Britain safe and civil !
What a terrible price to pay

Yep, he nails it.
Baron, I’ll be freaked out when people agree this is a good course of action.
The UK police need a better PR team.
You will be freaked out when people agree that this is a good course of action??
They already do.. the MSM, govt, police and army..... how many more do you need?
It is already more than enough, when a vocal and militant minority including govt, army police and MSM officials think it is a good course of action, and the vast majority just sleepwalk along with fatal banality. The time to freak out is when this shite is being enforced not when the majority agree with it. You think police states start with a majority wanting a police state? Seriously?
The UK populace needs to wake the fuck up. I lived in the UK for a long time, I wouldn't want to go there again, and I wouldn't see my kids going there and def not growing up there. -

Ha to be more to it? Like what exactly??? To be honest that just sounds like a desperate plea to avoid reality. "It cant be happening.. it just cant!"
Do you think those tweets that you think are worse.. not policed because they are not considered law breaking or because of resourcing?
