a young lad in the army has been sacked for having a selfie with Tommy apparently.
the paranoia amongst the P.C.fools at the top is becoming a joke.

Where did you read or hear that Keith? The selfie seen by many had at least 20 squaddies in it so it would be strange to pick on one.

The more accurate story Howard is "A squaddie who appeared in a selfy with Yaxley Lennon is to be discharged after a long line of disciplinary offences"
Not "sacked for having a selfy with an idiot,"
But why let the truth get in the way of a good story, though neither version has been confirmed by anything other than rumour.

This subject is getting more ridiculous or should that be pathetic the longer it gets.

so now a simple contempt of court case is to be tried by the highest judge in the land in the highest criminal court the old bally, without a jury?

No he isn't, - he is the highest judge at the old bailey.
no it isnt, - it is a crown court. Our central criminal court
And of course it is - the case doesn't warrant a jury.
Any more bullshit you want debunked KB?

is it normal to try a man in this way ?
is it normal to send this type of alleged offence to the old bally, and by this level of judge? ,,no, it isn't so cut your bullshit, its a politically motivated trial. and one day they will come for the Left to .
the other 3 journalists that reported on the trial haven't even been charged.

The Old Bailey doesn't only stage major trials, when I did my jury service there in the late 70s the three juries I was on saw 6 young herberts charged with affray in Carshalton, 1 serial flasher from Hackney and three hapless muggers from Brixton. The clue is in the geography so no surprise a second rate thug from Luton has been invited to attend there.

Indeed. Odd how English nationalists abuse and disdain the very language which so gloriously roots our national identity.

It's not a trial. Judges have the power to deal with contempt of court cases themselves, without the need for a jury trial. This applies to everyone, including the far-right. There is no special treatment of Yaxley-Lennon, who is being dealt with in exactly the same way as anyone else would be for committing the same offence. As for moving the venue to the Old Bailey, that may well be because of the expected protests, given the Old Bailey has higher security than most crown courts. If you don't want the venue moved, don't whip up large-scale protests!
The case Yaxley-Lennon tried to disrupt has now been completed:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-45918845
The reason for the reporting restrictions (
not a "D" notice), was that due to the number of defendents, multiple trials had to be held. In order to ensue that one trial did not predjudice another (and provide the defendents grounds to appeal), no reporting was allowed until all trials were completed. This isn't censorship, it is how a competent justice system operates. The responsible media all followed the court's reporting restrictions. Yaxley-Lennon ignored them, so whinging about his treatment is somewhat ridiculous.

The far-right figurehead who styles himself Tommy Robinson says he has sacked his lawyers and intends to get himself sent back to jail when he appears in court this week for a contempt hearing.
Former assistants to Robinson said he scooped a “massive payday” when he was jailed for contempt in May, earning huge public visibility and hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations. Robinson was jailed for 13 months after confronting and filming men of Pakistani origin outside a court, where they were on trial for their alleged parts in Britain’s biggest sex grooming gang.
On Friday it emerged that the men were among 20 convicted as members of a gang that subjected girls as young as 11 to an “inhuman” campaign of rape and sexual abuse in Huddersfield. The judge, Geoffrey Marson QC, said the footage, which Robinson live-streamed on Facebook, risked prejudicing the trial and jeopardised other cases against the gang.
IT is believed that a return to prison would gain further money and attention for Robinson, 35, who was released on appeal in August pending the hearing on Tuesday. In May, Robinson admitted the contempt and apologised — but he now appears to have recanted. In a video interview with PI News, an obscure German website, he said: “I sacked my solicitors because they tried to broker a deal where I apologise and I admit guilt, and then if I do that then I go home. “And I said, I’m never going to do that. . . . They were working for the other side, that’s what I felt. This is a historic moment, and I want to speak and stand by my convictions. So I’m going to stand up in court and read a statement . . . that tells the truth about Islam . . . I’d rather go to jail for the next 25 years than accept guilt for telling the truth . . . I am going to lay the gauntlet down to the government. . . . When you read what I’m going to say in court, I’m calling all of them out . . . I know 100% I am going to jail.”
Robinson was speaking after receiving the “European patriot of the year” award at a conference in Bavaria organised by the hard-right magazine Compact. In his acceptance speech, he said: “German people for too long have lived in the guilt of Adolf Hitler. Do not live in the guilt of Angela Merkel.”
The conference, on September 29, brought together key figures on the European far right, including Lutz Bachmann, the founder of Pegida, Martin Sellner, from the Generation Identity movement, leaders of the Alternative for Germany party and a representative of the Italian leader, Matteo Salvini. Compact has been funded by the Kremlin-created Institute for Democracy and Co-operation.
