    so would you rather it was reported as someone killed someone so as not to define anything about age, race, gender?

    I’d rather it wasn’t reported period.

    Fanatics want to be in the media. They want people to be scared...

    Your point isn't clear. You're either suggesting that freedom of speech is ok, but then parroting someone.


    Or you're saying that abuse is ok- which it isn't.



    Sorry - I was referring to the wrong post.


    But abuse, I would agree, is not necessary - which I would suggest could include disparaging comments aimed at a third party who isn't here to counter them.

    I would rather have all the facts reported and be able to make my own mind up what my views are on the matter

    Perhaps.

    But on balance I think it is better to have these views out in the open rather than them being pushed underground.

    At least that way we know what we are dealing with.

    What's the betting the rabble rouser TR calls for a march,which attracts violent thugs.
    I think he appeals to the not very bright, certainly what I saw when I once looked through the pages of our local EDL.
    It was comedy gold.
    He was given a warning by Facebook, and breached it. All he needed to do was to take note of the warning.
    Edit much like the way he was given a warning for his first contempt of court( his second got himimprisoned)

    I regard his rants in the same way as some friends who post about the dangers of the illuminati .

    Ranting lunatics.

    I think you will find that Tommy R does not want "violent Thugs" at any of his public events as that would just portray him as a thug himself.
    Tommy is also NOT involved with the present day EDL. YES he founded the movement but left over 5 years ago when it was going in a direction he was not happy with and also did not agree with.

    Oh yes i completely agree.
    I very much doubt they will be there in support of Tommy.
    The press will run with it though and the intelligent non supporters will believe they are representative of Him and his followers ;)
