The Immigration Question

I don't get people defending this Irish citizen with an Irish Passport who lives in Tenerife, with numerous convictions including for violence and football thuggery, and has spent approx £2million of donors money on living in comfort and declaring himself bankrupt but being unwilling to show the authorities what has happened to the £2million. Occasionally coming back to the UK to encourage people to take this country back, whilst not living in it.

A bit like the MP for Clacton, living in Brussels, occasionally popping over to present on GB News and do his second job of being an MP.

The film was proven in a court of law, where evidence was produced, to contains lies and the defendant, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, fined and told, by the court, not to show the film or repeat the lies. Those defending him saying that in spite of the evidence to the contrary and the decision of a court of law, he is 'telling the truth' and it is truth because he says so in the film.
It reminds me of a quote attributed to Joseph Goebbels - 'A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth'

It is argued and agreed by many historians that since 2015/16 that the world has moved into the 'post truth era'.
Defined as - Post-truth is a term that refers to the widespread documentation of, and concern about, disputes over public truth claims in the 21st century. The term's academic development refers to the theories and research that explain the specific causes historically, and the effects of the phenomenon. Oxford Dictionaries popularly defines it as "relating to and denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief."

While the term was used in phrases like "post-truth politics" academically and publicly before 2016, in 2016 the term was named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionaries after the term's proliferation in the election of president Trump in the United States and the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom; Donald Trump has been characterized as engaging in a "war on truth." Oxford Dictionaries further notes that post-truth was often used as an adjective to signal a distinctive kind of politics.

Some scholars argue that post-truth has similarities with past moral, epistemic, and political debates about relativism, postmodernity, and dishonesty in politics. Others insist that post-truth is specifically concerned with 21st century communication technologies and cultural practices.

Something that seems to of happened,almost 'unnoticed'.

A boat of queue jumping illegals in the Channel,were actually picked up and returned to France.A couple of weeks ago.


I hav'nt heard of any complaints about Maritime Law being broken or the French complaining we returned the illegals .

A sign of actual Anglo French co-operation?

I mentioned it Bas, not sure where.
The French asked for the assistance of the UK Coastguard and RNLI and the migrants who were in French waters were returned to France.

23 July 2024
Dozens of failed asylum seekers from Vietnam are to be sent back to the country on Wednesday, using resources the last government had earmarked for the Rwanda scheme.
The Labour government scrapped the plan, which would have seen some asylum seekers sent to the east African country, within hours of taking power, describing it as a "gimmick" and a waste of money.
But the government will now use a plane intended to remove people to Rwanda to send around 55 people to Vietnam instead, Labour sources said.
They are being removed under a returns agreement, rather than deported to a third country.
It will be the first time a flight has returned failed asylum seekers to the country since 2021, the sources said.

Then let's see all boats/people taken back straight away.

Not according to the ultras Cheshire...rule of law? Only if they agree

Ok so I've watched the film, all one hour 45 minutes of it. I'll need some time to mull it over, but it was made more difficult by him keep referring to himself as a 'journalist'. That's dishonest for a start.

I'd also researched a bit further into the events, and it just gets more difficult to know who or what to believe.

There's reports out there about the refugee contacting his MP weeks before the event, that he's being bullied. Stuff about the family of the boy accused of the assault; Mum prosecuted for racist behaviour, then suspected of further racial abuse. Brother prisoned for British First rally violence, then football hooliganism. The suspect himself had shared posts from Robinson, Britain First etc prior to the assault.

What isn't in the film is Robinsons initial reaction to the event, where he made a claim about Muslim gangs beating up white English kids in that very school. A photo from a 2017 news article on a teenage cancer patient from Surrey was used.

Like I said, I'll give it some thought, but the interviews didn't strike me as conclusive of anything really.

I've said before that nothing good from his involvement has come from this. He lives in Spain and travels to the UK to tell us what's wrong with the country, then travels back again when he's found to have breached more laws. He's been done for stalking, harassment, assault, fraud etc etc.

Probably above all of that I'm left feeling that videos of children shared online need restricting somehow, but I know it's probably too far down the line for that. I agree with what he says about the video being weaponised for political gain, but he's as guilty as anyone else involved of that too.

Must have cost a fair few bob to make that too, high production values (except during the supposed smoking gun interviews) and it bothers me how he might be funded, bearing in mind he's supposedly bankrupt.

But I will let it sink in for a few days and see how I feel about it then

Reasonable, although she said "everything is labelled far right if it isn't extreme left", did you add "woke" or did I mishear?

See why do people insist on lying about him.

How is he a Irish citizen?

Stephen Yaxley Lennon was born in Luton, his father is English and is mother is Irish, he holds two passports

Why do people completely lie about this man to fit their narrative.

It was a direct quote from an article, I posted it as it added details of his arrest in Kent and that he'd gone back to Spain.
