Tommy Robinson flees UK

[fillyboy]

Is provocation enough, though.

Yes if it's a case of somebody attacking you.

In all probability it was Tommy who was defending himself from a thug trying to assault him!

Tommy would know better than to attack someone without provocation. And especially when he knows how corrupt the law is and that he has only just got out of prison.

Its obvious that the gutter press will be attacking and blaming Tommy. Just like you and your hamas supporting buddies....

The truth will out...

Maybe Tommy should have hung around for the police. Then again, he probably knew how he would get treated!!!

Eye witness claims Tommy justified attack as self defence due to a verbal threat .

it is hardly likely he would get a fair trial

I don't see why not. He can afford the best lawyers.

Technically possible.

Should be settled in court, or by police questioning. No need to flee if there is video to support his case, or he has a good defence case.

If it gets to court then I'd suggest there is enough to warrant getting him there.

Happy to wait and see.

I might be wrong, and I stand to be corrected, but I believe his upcoming trial will be the first time he's been allowed a trial by jury, it's expected he'll win.
I'm not a huge fan of the bloke but he raises some valid points, so valid in fact that he's spent almost several years in solitary confinement.

Bloody good timing.
Let's see how much we learn about the poor defenceless victim.
I have a feeling he will be forgotten entirely.

AI Overview

In legal terms, self-defense and provocation are distinct concepts with different implications. Self-defense is a valid legal defense where a person uses reasonable force to protect themselves or another from imminent harm. Provocation, on the other hand, is not a standalone defense to assault, but it can be a factor in sentencing

Only in it for the money , reportedly worth over £2 million.

Not the first time it seems:

Tommy claims he acted in self-defence after he was 'abused' by a man who 'wouldn't leave him and his wife alone' and who 'went out of his way to get into an altercation'.

I suspect laws involving 'self defence' apply to followers of any political creed, right or left.

Apparently likes to use his actual (real) name when in private with family, keeping the Tommy persona separate.

We'll see what the full footage shows, if he was indeed attacked without provocation, why not wait for the authorities?

A bit like Alex Johnson and his bumbling alter ego. Why do they do that. I believe Farage is mainly an act as well.

Really?

Really?

It's always better to flee the scene (and the country) when a man is lying unconscious on the floor, when declaring your innocence then?
