Poetry – So the story goes

Posted on by Opher

So the story goes

There are rape gangs grooming kids.

There are terrorists in every nook.

We are flooded with armies of immigrants

Intent on imposing Sharia law.

They are subverting our values!

Imposing their fanaticism!

So the story goes!

The authorities,

Shackled by PC

Are scared of being called racist

And refuse to act.

So the story goes.

Tommy Robinson is the peoples’ champ,

The exposer of Muslim atrocities.

So the story goes.

This is the narrative

That streams out

Of the far-right

Propaganda sites.

The exaggerations

That takes the seeds of real problems

And blows them up

Into nightmares

To generate fear and hatred.

So the fake news goes.

Within this battle of extremes lies the real truth. There are big problems that need confronting and dealing with.

What we do not need are the fanatics that would light the blue touch-paper for their own ends.

Some people benefit from sowing the seeds of fear and hate.

How much did Tommy Robinson crowd-fund?

Who is Tommy Robinson?? Why was he locked up??

Tommy Robinson isn’t Tommy Robinson at all. He is actually Stephen Yaxley-Lennon the son of Irish immigrants. He is also known as Andrew McMaster and Paul Harris. It seems he changes his name often. Tommy Robinson assumed the name of a prominent member of a Luton Town football hooligan crew. The Men In Gear MIG were notorious football hooligans. Why would anyone want to name themselves after one of their leaders?

In 2003 he was imprisoned for thirteen months for a drunken assault on an off-duty policeman.

In 2004 he joined the BNP – a British racist/fascist party.

in 2012 he set up the British Freedom Party – a far-right political group whose rank and file had many football hooligans.

In 2015 he was involved in Pegida UK – a chapter of the German far-right nationalist anti-Islamic group whose leader posed as Hitler and made racist statements on facebook – shades of the Nazis here?

He wrote for The Rebel Media – a Canadian far-right media website.

Now he has been jailed for thirteen months for contempt of court. He was deliberately filming and broadcasting Muslim defendants entering court at a rape trial contrary to reporting restrictions. Was he attempting to incite anti-Muslim hatred? Quite likely.

So what does this tell you about Tommy Robinson?

Was he justly imprisoned for defying the court and deliberately breaking the law?

Has he been inciting hatred?

Does our concern about immigrants and Muslims justify supporting racist fascist groups?
