'Tommy Robinson' is a British born activist who specifically stands up to protect the rights of those who are abused by well documented gangs of religious (primarily Islamic) gangs who pray on women/children, often abducting and raping them horrifically. He often receives a lot of negative press and judgement for his actions and was recently imprisoned for reporting outside of a court that was hearing a case for a particular gang of alleged child abusers.
Whether you or I agree with his methods or his message, it is abundantly clear that here he has caught out Sky News as deceptive propagandists and by proxy also apparently all of the other mainstream news channels (who blindly repeated the message from Sky News).
He agreed to do a lengthy video interview with a Sky news reporter who was clearly not neutral and clearly trying to make him appear to be a trouble maker by saying that he was 'spreading racist hate' (paraphasing). Sky News then deliberately edited his words and moved clips around, making it appear that he was saying something he was not saying. They tried to make it appear that he said that he doesn't care about 'the law' and that he doesn't care if his actions cause fear. This was the headline that went around the world, being picked up by numerous other publishers, including RT.
What Sky News didn't know was that Tommy had had the interview secretly filmed in totality, so that he could play back the real conversation later. In this video we can see what was really said and, in truth, he was talking about a video shown to children in Holland to warn them about rape/grooming gangs. He said that he didn't care if showing those videos instills fear in Islamic people as long as it protects children. Sky news then edited the video to take his comment out of context and try to make it appear that he was saying this about his own views/actions.
This is a clear attempt to try to make him into a hated figure and we must ask -what exactly is motivating this 'news agency' to lie to make someone appear to be dangerous, who is just acting to protect children from rape? Are they just looking for ratings in perhaps the most devious and cynical/psychopathic way possible? Or are they perhaps, even worse, actually involved with establishment coverups of child rape - of the kind we have seen covered for so long and in so many ways - both in the media and in government 'investigations' (that never go anywhere and that stink of coverups right the way through).
As Tommy points out in this video - even the UK home secretary has highlighted that the child rape gangs are often made up specifically of Pakistani (muslim) individuals, so by 'Tommy' pointing this out, he is only re-iterating the government's own position - yet Sky News still attempts to make out like he is being 'racist' (noting that Islam is not even a race!).
The situation would be laughable if the subject wasn't such a serious one, with the lives of countless children being ruined and even ended by these gangs and while little is being done to stop it that isn't the result of pressure from activists like Tommy! Maybe it's time for us to associate Sky News with the very worst kind of propagandists - on a par with Nazi war criminals?
Hundreds of people have already posted formal complaints about Sky News to the UK communications watchdog and 'Tommy' says he is opening a court case against Sky news.

"Tommy Robinson" appears to be a deliberately divisive figure who focuses specifically on instances of child abuse perpetrated by some Muslims, while ignoring instances of child abuse perpetrated by non-Muslims.
However I do agree with the point you make about mainstream media manipulation. That certainly happens. I can't see the example of how the video was edited, as I can't get it to play.
Yes, DTube is broken today it seems, I already informed them in their discord server. The video is available on his page on FB here.
When you cover up a crime you become complicit in the crime. Thus if one person is harmed or dies as a result either of the original crime or the crime of covering it, the complicit are charged and punished the same!
That's something I am not overly familiar with, but it is an interesting thought.

Interesting. Must say I’m a little confused about Tommy Robinson. On the surface he claims to be fighting for a righteous cause but then posts like the following have me question his real motive https://steemit.com/truth/@newsandviews/stop-crying-for-zionist-agent-provocateur-tommy-robinson-he-knowingly-broke-the-law-even-pleaded-guilty-and-deserves-to-be-in. Would love your opinion
I don't pretend to know all the details, but I have listened to a few of his videos, including the full presentation he gave to the Oxford University a while ago. I have seen the connections with him to Israel and that in itself opens up a huge amount of information and topics.
It is important to understand that there are vast numbers of peoples with 'fingers in pies' and agendas when it comes to the 'middle east' and the associated religious groups. When so many people have lost their connections to their origins in the cosmos and the real nature of God / Spirit, the way is opened for mass manipulation and exploitation of the kind we see today.
The definitions of zionism is contested, which is made clear by the different views in the video - yet the commenters speak as if zionism can only be what they say it is. I am not standing up for land theft or any particular group, but I am just pointing out that there are biases here that are not being identified.
I think personally, that there is a chance that 'tommy' has seen an opportunity to gain support in Israel and among Jews to further his cause - seeing that they have wealth, when he does not and seeing that he might be able to benefit from the connection. Is he a 'zionist asset'? I highly doubt it, though he may be seen as a relatively high profile tool for them to use in some ways.
I suggest watching his presentation at the oxford university to gain some insights into his message and to get a feel for his energy:
Or perhaps he has studied Islamic Doctrine and knows full well that it is a supremacist doctrine that seeks to subjugate all non-believers. He has allied with Sikhs, Hindus and Jews and what they all have in common is 1400 years of rape, murder and conquest followed by oppression by a pernicious system of apartheid.
The issue being highlighted here is that Israel has very much continued the apartheid ideology and is very much involved with malicious intent - so many people ask valid questions about 'Tommy' in that sense. The truth is perhaps as you state though, that he is just taking advantage of any allies he can.
I of course disagree that Israel is in anyway an Apartheid state, but let's leave that for some other time, I am actually stating that Tommy Robinson has principles and stands with all victims of the supremacist aspects of that ideology
The reason people question him is that to them it is very clear that Zionism is often used in association with a supremacist mentality (even if some do not use it in that way) and that they see 'tommy' as hypocritical to be aligning with such a movement when it appears on some levels to be no better than that which he is aligning against. This raises concerns that he is, in fact, involved in the kind of power struggle that has, in the past, given rise to characters such as Hitler - or in Britain - Oswald Mosley. To deny this about zionism in Israel is to deny a mountain of video and written evidence from people all across Israel.
I actually share the concern that ANYONE who seeks to build power based on aligning against particular groups of people - regardless of whether it is in self defense or not - needs to be scrutinised for their total integrity, since the imbalances within the minds of humans can often lead to unexpected outcomes where such power bases turn destructive horrifically.
While Nationalism of any stripe can be extreme to reach the level of supremacism a country needs to cross some serious lines, such as the mass killings perpetrated by the Janja Weeds in Sudan.
Nobody self-criticizes more than Jews, can you show me an example of the PA or Hammas investigating any of its own actions?
Have you ever listened to the Palestinian human rights activist Bassam Eid?
It's all Zio-games. Tommy is a self-professed Zionist, and an obvious agent to cause more division. The media's attack on him is part of the 'theatrics' used to push us to either side of that division.
The very fact that Tommy Robinson is given a platform on mainstream media tells us all we need to know. Go and have a look at the imagery of Tommy in Israel sitting on tanks and wearing 'mossad' t-shirts. It shouldn't take too long for you to figure out what's going on here.
This goes WAY deeper than this, he is just a piece on a chess board. It is all staged. He is a proud Zionist and funded by Israel. So in essence he is a stooge of Israel and the play acting he is doing is working. People think this is about freedom of speech etc but it ISN'T. It is the old divide and conquer. Thanks for the post though.
Ahoy! What is the evidence of the funding you referred to?
Hi! Here is a good place to start https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180710-pro-israel-think-tank-funds-tommy-robinsons-legal-costs/
