12 people have been arrested including nuns in Scotland.

Once again Brave New World seems to be the only poster that backs up what he/she says with links and facts. Everybody else just spewing hatred, gossip and heresay! Are we to believe all Catholics are paedophiles or that all Muslims are suicide bombers? If Tommy whoever he is wants to stay out of jail he simply needs to obey the law. As for Muslims, Jews, Catholics or whatever, if I had my way I would ban the lot of em because religion is poppycock, the bible, the koran or any religous book is not the word of god, its just words of men that seem to think they know what 'god' wants! The world would be a MUCH better place if religion was simply banned.

You forgot to post links and facts to back up what you are spewing.

The Scottish home closed in 1981, hence the 12 arrests by the police, whist the one in Ireland was a Magdalen Laundry which were operational until the 1990's.

The Catholic Church has abuse claims against right across the world, and other religions try to sweep abuse under the carpet. This is not unique to any one religion.

Like I said, they do not have jury nullification here(in this high profile case).
I did continually try to get it across that Robinsons case was being reviewed by the Attorney General, and that he hadn't been acquitted or found innocent.

It has been recently announced that Robinson will now face a new trial at the High Court on the 22nd March. If found guilty he faces up to 2 years in prison.

I saw the same thing happen in my home town Oldham, over a period of about 35 years, until I left it in 2000. I got out just before the Muslim riots. I watched with interest on television, as the Muslims taunted the police, throwing petrol bombs outside the very church my children went to when boy scouts ten years before.

In the video, Tommy said he has had that talk with his wife and children. If he is killed, he wants them to know why he did what he did. The British government fear him. Their tactics to silence him are not working, and he is gaining attention around the world. They thought all the laws they have brought out for decades, to cow, and silence the white British, were enough. They didn't expect someone like Tommy to refuse to be silenced, no matter what they do to him.
Nah. He's just a common criminal, period. I don't get the fascination of US rightwingers who make him a cause celebre - maybe because Islamophobes want to rally behind each other? He's certainly a very flawed character to be a poster boy for any political idelogy.

They keep dropping charges that won't stick and adding new ones to harass him with. Malicious Prosecution.

Yep. Maybe he can get a group rate in a prison cell if he shares it with Assange. Two trouble makers who need to finally be called for their actions.

So were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Madison, to the then King.


They seem to be remembered as Heroic.
