what does contempt have to do with publications? it’s not about whether it’s true or not, it’s about why he was choosing to share the information.

i know free speech warriors are going to claim he was just there to “voice his opinion” but you have to be pretty oblivious to believe he was there for any other reason that to cause a scene.

btw i haven’t seen any public statements leading me to believe the charge wasn’t contempt. i’ve heard disturbance of peace (which is still valid btw, all things considered) but outside of him asking if he was being arrested for contempt and not receiving an answer, there’s not enough information to sway me either way.

Again, if they were what you think they are, wouldn't he of been charged accordingly?

Edit: So, apparently 'Breach of the Peace' isn't even a criminal offence and can't be sentenced with either time or a fine.

If that's the sole thing he was charged with, how can he get 13 months.

because he was probably sentenced with contempt again and it was initially misreported?

Well he must of been sharing it against the gangs he was trying to get sent down, that's my best guess.

Can't think of any other court situation where that information would be wanted.

No one has even mentioned a contempt charge from what I've seen, therefore I don't believe there is one.

Maybe but I feel like people would've at least mentioned it if that was the case.

This is meant to be the British judicial system and its just shady af.

There's never sufficient information given, just people stabbing at the dark.

This will be his third or fourth sentence I think. That might be why it seems harsh. Clearly he isn't learning.

Most likely I guess, still seems excessive tho.

^

the fact that he continues to do is enough evidence that he is looking to cause a scene. if it was a first time thing maybe i could understand the outrage but he is not stupid, he knows what he is doing.

as far as info goes it’s like anything else. finding a non-biased source on an issue like this requires sorting through a lot of ****.

it’s either right wing “he was just speaking his mind!” or left wing “he’s a nazi!”

would be genuinely interested to hear what he actually said, that’s the only way to really know how fitting the charge is.

Hopefully it will published as a statement soon but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Tommy knew there were restrictions and did it anyway.

Seems to me like he has done it so that he can play the victim and help his brand.

PM 'retains confidence' in Northern Ireland secretary Karen Bradley

Quote:

The Northern Ireland Secretary said initially she did not know nationalists did not vote for unionist parties or vice-versa in elections.

Mrs Bradley also said she did not fathom some deep-rooted NI issues.

Downing Street refused to be drawn on the criteria used by the Prime Minister to appoint ministers.

Mrs Bradley told House magazine, a weekly publication for the Houses of Parliament . that Northern Ireland was "a very different world from the world I came from" and she did not realise campaigns are generally fought within each part of the community.

"I didn't understand things like when elections are fought for example in Northern Ireland - people who are nationalists don't vote for unionist parties and vice-versa."
