Saying that he has crossed the line too many times, despite repeated warnings. What say you?

[The Green Goblin]

Good. Not before time.

[Bangkok Hibby]

I hate the little tosser but not comfortable with censorship

[Hibrandenburg]

I think he'll be secretly pleased as this will only give him more credibility amongst his supporters. The begging bowl will be out again soon to sponsor his "Campaign".

[Newry Hibs]

Funny how this came about just after his exposing of how panorama were trying to get info about him for their programme.

I hate the little tosser but not comfortable with censorship

I'm not into censorship per se, and do believe in freedom of speech TO A POINT, but we must all accept that there are parameters within which acceptable behaviour must lie.

Hate speech and whipping up a frenzy that might cause innocent people to suffer, and communication that might convince the hard of thinking to commit unnecessary crimes should be stopped.

[Fife-Hibee]

I hate the little tosser but not comfortable with censorship

I tend to lean on this side as well. However, some of his language and even some actions have been threatening and dangerous. Rounding up his cronies to gang up on and intimidating individual MPs for example is completely unacceptable.

If he wants so stand on a soap box and preach his ideology, then he should be able to do so. As long as he isn't inciting violence against members of the public.

It all comes down to where the line is drawn.

[Kato]

It's not really censorship if specific platforms don't want to host what you choose to publish.

He's still free to say whatever he wants.

Totally. Won’t stop him from playing the victim though.

The comments section on there is just dripping with vile British Nationalism. They just can't understand why some people in Scotland want to break away from the UK, while they push their own nationalistic agenda.

Two cheeks of the same arse on social media - the extremists of British and Scottish nationalism.

Perhaps i'm blinkered. But don't really see a great deal of bigotry and racism from the Scottish Nationalist side. Quite open and inclusive actually. But I suppose those who oppose Scottish Independence will always try and compare the 2 completely different forms of nationalism to suit their own agenda.

If you don't see that there are some equally vile extreme nationalists on both the British and Scottish sides on social media then I suggest either you are the blinkered one or you simply aren't paying attention. Twitter in particular is a cesspit of toxic nationalism among elements of both sides.

[7 Up]

Being banned from Twitter or Facebook isn't a violation of freedom of speech any more than being banned from hibs.net is. The guy's a rabble-rouser and him previously being wined and dined at Westminster was a disgrace.

[Newry Hibs]

This is the charming man who is taking credit for having Tommy Robinson, who's real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, banned from Facebook

https://twitter.com/mshafiquk/status/1100378313539887104

Note his 'saying things in the heat of the moment (about wanting people killed)' about 11:15 into the below

https://youtu.be/PlCazztehbI?t=680

No outcry about getting him banned.

Sometimes I want to kill my loud neighbours in the heat of the moment, but as long as I don't act on it, i'm ok. :greengrin

[Fife-Hibee]

Anybody else getting the "Tommy Robinson" channel as a recommendation on their youtube feed? The same youtube ran by far-left communists trying to take him down. :greengrin

My YouTube recommendations sidebar is a plethora of right wing "think tanks" and alt right conspiracy videos, plus the odd "Ben Shapiro OWNS dumb lib" etc etc debate one. I don't even use YouTube to view political videos.

Typical spying from the world wide communist government.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Employed by the (insert your choice) government. Sponsored by social media.
The guy is a racist prick who needs bleached. Hopefully he doesn't have to wait too long

Bleached???? Careful you dont get banned from social media.

[Hibbyradge]

What does it mean?

[Fife-Hibee]

Why bleached? Isn't he white enough already? :dunno:

[RyeSloan]

Is the world wide communist government the same as the global banking network?

[Haymaker]

Is the world wide communist government the same as the global banking network?

Are they the Luciferian conspiracy government?

[Fife-Hibee]

Is the world wide communist government the same as the global banking network?

Are you denying the existence of the central banking system? :confused:

[RyeSloan]

Are you denying the existence of the central banking system? :confused:

As per the other thread I’m unsure what you meant by ‘banking network’

Just as I’m unclear as to what you mean by the phrase ‘world wide communist government’

I was merely checking to see if the two were one in the same...

[stoneyburn hibs]

Bleached???? Careful you dont get banned from social media.

For saying bleached???

[James310]

What does it mean?

[stoneyburn hibs]

A doing, kicking etc etc.

[Newry Hibs]

A doing, kicking etc etc.

So not covering someone in bleach then. Funny how a post can be misunderstood and taken out of context. Good job this isnt the MSM.

Still, just harmless physical violence is ok.

What's harmless physical violence ?
Is it like fighting when you're acting?

I'm posting on a football forum about a racist, calm yer jets oh righteous one.

I've never heard of it being used like that.

Every day's a school day.

I'm calm. Just pointing out how people can be targeted if others have an agenda (the MSM).

Tommy Robinson,whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has denied being a racist.

[Killiehibbie]

Not sure of the origins but certainly heard of a few guys getting a bleaching to describe a doing.

Guys like Robinson should be allowed show themselves up for what they are. I used to enjoy watching the likes of Nick Griffin squirm and get tongue tied on TV as his brain tried to catch up.

[lapsedhibee]

What's harmless physical violence ?


It's being contrasted with harmful chemical violence, as bleaching perhaps connotes acid attacks (even though bleach is not at all acidic :nerd:).

[ZAGREB RED]

A vile piece of white trash. Censorship can be a tricky, very grey area but this dickhead not being given the chance to air his warped views is no loss to anyone really.
Except, I suppose, the morons that follow him.

Racist denies being a racist shocker. The agenda of the MSM in the UK has by in large been to promote the far-right. They know the actions they're taking are pushing more and more people to the right. They want the right to appear censored and victimized to give them more support.
If the media had a genuine agenda against the likes of Tommy Robinson, then they would simply nothing him, instead of coming up with new ways to broadcast/print more coverage about him.

[Newry Hibs]

This is from when Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen yaxley-Lennon, was speaking at the Oxford union. It gives an insight into how he got to where he is and what has shaped his thoughts (though it is from 2014).
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_YQ94jFg_4A

Now I don't suppose it will be watched - it's an hour long - but it does include a piece by Stacey Dooley who covered islamists in Luton where she is also from (5 minutes). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b2nlIfn8tNA

I was also brought up in Luton, but am 18 or so years older. I saw the beginnings of where luton is now and still see when I return.

I would rather see / hear different points of view no matter if I agree or not.

I think it is difficult to not see that TR has at least a point that should be at least be investigated.

I don't just assume people are not worth hearing just because the msm have him as some sort of bogey man.

[Fife-Hibee]

Presenting him as a "bogey man" works in his favour, which is exactly why they're doing it.
