You call it a kangaroo court because it convicted a racist you're infatuated with for some unknown reason. However if you actually knew the meaning you wouldn't be using the term because you'd be smarter than the average bear.. and at the same time you wouldn't be a fan of a racist xenophobe who changed his name because he's afraid of his own sexuality.

He's gone through the same appeals process dozens - if not hundreds - of people go through every year.

Common sense prevails, and his movement is stronger than ever. He made the main stream news here in Aus, everyone's heard the name now.

How strong is his movement? So strong that they have barely made a peep anywhere. 3000 turn up for a protest, more turn up to Protest Trump. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Hyperbole and brainwashing is strong in this one.

Its a bit more nuanced than that. I dont get how you can plead guilty and then manage this though

At the court of appeal on Wednesday, the lord chief justice, Lord Burnett of Maldon, upheld the Canterbury conviction but said the ruling in Leeds was “flawed” and there should be a retrial.

Hardly anyone was there bro. It was all made up.
I've got the prooooofz.
Look at all those Tommy Robinson protestors in London.
Arts students with nothing better to do protesting against Trump.
Nobody cares other than that it ruins the traffic.
Just annoys decent elements in society ie the contributors.

This decision confirms what some of us said at the time.
His arrest was possibly invalid - he was arrested for breach of the peace but charged with contempt of court.
It was not made clear during the trial how he was in contempt. From Lord Burnett "no particulars of the contempt were formulated or put to the appellant", and there was "a muddle over the nature of the contempt being considered".
He was denied a fair trail. Lord Burnett said the judge should not have commenced contempt proceedings the same day he was arrested. The judge should have adjourned the matter to give him longer to prepare a defence.
Of course, he could still be found guilty and send back to jail when the case is reheard at the Old Bailey.

I know people who went who definitely weren't arts students.
Corbyn (smartly) courted uni student vote by scrapping not only fees but historical debts. Uni students were previously big Lib Dem supporters but after they agreed to raise fees in coalition with Tories they got deserted over it.
I know the below isnt directly addressing the Trump protests but I would argue correlation is VERY high.

If there were a general election tomorrow Labour would be the party of choice (aside from a house party, obvs) of nearly seven in 10 students, which is a remarkable statistic.

Brexit: For every one student who voted Leave, six voted Remain, new analysis finds
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa...ition-fees-arts-fund-plea-student-voters.html
Jeremy Corbyn has made a last-minute appeal for young people to register to vote and sought to win them over to Labour with twin pledges to help students with fees and pour money into Britain´s arts, music, film and theatre.
The deadline to sign up to vote in the General Election passes at 11.59pm on Monday and the Labour leader tried to catch the attention of the nation´s younger voters with promises to establish a £1 billion cultural capital fund and to write off the the first year of tuition fees for university students starting in September.

I see you changed the quote to make it seem like I am Kidd Vicious. A moderator could quite easily tell you that's not true. We post on the same thread most of the time anyway... so that wouldn't make a lot of sense compared to usual alias work.

No, I’m just disappointed
He jeopardized rape trials and plead guilty to that charge; he has convictions for assault and fraud. He's taken the name of a football hooligan for some unfathomable reason and is a member of the EDL.
Some of you need better heroes.

Do you hold the same views about your fellow leftists who support people like Fidel Castro and Che Guevara who are known to be responsible for countless murders?
I didn't change s**t, I've got no explanation for that.

He wasn't charged with 'jeopardising rape trials'. And he didn't plead guilty of any charge. He accepted that he was in contempt of court during a process that has subsequently been found to be flawed and has been set aside.
