The other protests this weekend (for Robinson)

Yes they do. Especially gang activity, and especially where children are involved. In Leeds there were three separate trials ongoing with 20 defendants. At the time of Robinson's contempt of court the trial of nine defendants was still ongoing. When all defendants have been tried then reporting restrictions will be lifted.

It is to stop guilty people going free because their trials have been prejudiced by idiots, particularly in a linked trial.

Here's the prosecutor who put away the Rochdale offenders, a man who's done far more on this issue than a Tommy ever will:

We nearly lost the so called Rochdale grooming case (#ThreeGirls) cos of a far right communication … Their lawyers applied at their trial that the jury had been prejudiced by Far Right We had to fight to persuade Court to allow trial to continue Those criminals came close to being freed & victims close to getting NO justice Jury must decide on EVIDENCE, not on your OPINION

So, what do you really want? Is your interest really in the victims of these cases and preventing further victims? If it is, then you should be behind this contempt of court decision 100% because it's there to stop defences claiming prejudice, trials being abandoned, and rapists walking free.

Down with this sort of thing, your common sense and factual ways are not welcome here.
 
All the gammon stuff does appear a little racist to me, for want of a better word.

And twitter rejoicing in leaving scores of bad reviews for a business doesn't appear appropriate either.

Chap is extremely unpleasant.
 
I think people arguing and calling each other gammon, tories, lefties, corbynistas etc is absolutely pathetic. I just read it and think you sad bastards man.
 
Mate it was a bunch of racist mugs who got everything they wanted, they attended to provoke a reaction and the police do not walk people out of town centres for flying the union jack, they walk them out for trying to incite violence and hatred.

The racists got what they wanted which was to play the victim and they did so by provoking others then telling lies about it after, they are the anal fissure on the arsehole of society, they would happily watch black and brown people die because they are horrible horrible people.
Good post there mate.

Durham Miners' Association statement:

It has come to our attention that a video is being circulated on social media purporting to show the police escorting people from the Gala for flying the British flag. This claim is completely false.

This was a group of activists from the far-right group “For Britain” who did not receive permission to march and were seeking to disrupt the proceedings and hijack the Big Meeting for their divisive, racist agenda. Therefore, the police took the decision to escort them from the racecourse for their own safety.

The Durham Miners’ Gala is now and has always been, a celebration of trade unionism, unity and internationalism.

We ask people not to be fooled by those who drape themselves in the British flag but who are in truth, promoting a far-right, extremist agenda.

Well done the police, well done Durham Miners' Association.
