That prick Thompson has pleaded not guilty.... what a wanker

Gets his day in Court and the opportunity to spout his bollocks.

Evidence please? I’ve given you evidence that the blue hair and nose ring brigade get leniency. I would love to take your word for it but experience tells me otherwise

How does the very tough sentences handed out to the Just Stop Oil protesters square with your two-tier theory?

He'll also see what proof they've got. I reckon they've really got their work cut out to prove he did it!

Although pleading not guilty to a crime that everyone knows you've committed isn't going to make sure you get a lower sentence when the decision is made!

The just stop oil protests aren’t a similar comparison with the migrant protests. The major JSO cases involved deliberately planned, large scale disruption relating to significant transport infrastructure and military infrastructure. Also some of the JSO people had previous for similar actions at similar protests as it’s the same bunch of people causing the disruption.

The migrant hotel protests involved some disorder, attacks on police and riot, so different to JSO. The BLM protests involved similar disorder, attacks on police and riot as the migrant protests but with published prosecution and sentencing outcomes nowhere near as bad as the migrant hotels protests.

Plead guilty and donations stop

Plead not guilty and you can carry on fleecing the thickos and racists.

Feel a bit sorry for Thomas. I also got arrested for getting my dinghy out and having a slash, on Netley beach.

And to roll the dice and hope that 12 good folk from Portsmouth acquit. He may well have an argument that, at the moment he slashed it, the dinghy was abandoned and didn't belong to another. Watch this space.

Shaking it for too long afterwards is an altogether different crime

They'll likely be poor and inadequately educated, so will be on his side unfortunately.

And what about the really tough sentences handed out for the 2012 riots?

He's got nothing to lose that's for sure.

I'm sure it would've been bigger once you'd inflated it. 🙂

Havent looked into it. What I'm doing is comparing the treatment from a political perspective. Protests from those on the left versus the right. The 2011 riots werent politically motivated / driven by people from a specific political spectrum (it was just chaos) and were 14 years ago so not really what I have been comparing. Do you agree the BLM protests were unusually lenient compared to the illegal immigrant protests? If so why?

2011? Your mate will ignore them as they had a left leaning motivation, and lacked any right leaning motivation.

People who were sunbathing in the RV Country Park complained about the shadow caused by his erm ‘lighthouse’.

Can you please get us two similar cases, similar age/sex of defendant, similar previous criminal history, similar social media profile, same judge and then we can do comparisons. You can't (and I can't believe we're going through this again) just stereotype all these cases into one. Let's deal with some of these charges 1 by 1, and then we can have a sensible, detailed debate about it.

What I would say, is BLM is protesting against the glamorisation of historic slavery and racism, which I think we would all agree is a good thing, whereas the immigrant protests are protesting for racism, so I think they're onto a hiding already.
