Far-right’s Tommy Robinson gets football ban for waving ‘F**k ISIS’ flag at Euro 2016

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson is complaining on Twitter after being served with a football banning order for showing up at Euro 2016 waving a “F**k ISIS” St. George’s Cross flag.
Robinson, who is a convicted football hooligan, tweeted that Bedfordshire Police visited his Luton home while he was in France to serve him with the order. [comment: Why is RT News writing like the Western capitalist press would write? What difference does his prior football conviction make? While this might be informative, it isn't like the mainstream Western press won't rehash this guy's convictions, to portray him as some 'bad', 'bad' person. Why not take a different approach, as an alternative voice ... or RT isn't shaping up to be particularly alternative, is it? ]
Bedfordshire Constabulary claims that Robinson, who has a long history of Islamophobia, was seeking to incite racial hatred against Muslims. [comment: The Bedfordshire Prison Warders of UK get enough of a voice in the mainstream propaganda producing press. If I were at RT News, I wouldn't even bother giving the British invasion program running establishment a voice. ]
Robinson was a co-founder of the English Defence League, a far-right group that protested against the perceived ‘Islamization’ of Britain. [comment: I'm sick of seeing the term 'far-right' to describe those that do not want to be dispossessed of their countries. I think it's a bullsh*t phrase, and it is adopting the narrative of the invasion program conducting establishment that seeks to vilify nationalists. I would simply refer to Robinson as a nationalist, because that is what he is (or, purports to be). Reference to Robinson's protest as being in relation to 'perceived' views is, once again, taking up the narrative of the mainstream Western capitalist press, and, in a way, whitewashing and dismissing the issue, just as the Western capitalist press would do. ]
A statement released by his lawyer, Alison Gurden, said Robinson denies that he was trying to incite anti-Muslim hate. [comment: this is ridiculous. That there is such a SUPPRESSIVE law in place in Britain says plenty about the circumstance in Britain that Robinson is ostensibly, in general terms, protesting. ]
“Both I and my client are very concerned that the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police and the UK Football Policing Unit have equated Tommy Robinson’s demonstration against a banned extremist terrorist organisation as being the same as showing hatred towards people of the mulsim faith [sic].”
Gurden, of 1 Gray’s Inn Square Chambers, went on to describe the banning order as “an attack on Tommy Robinson’s freedom of speech and association.”
A champion of the far-right, Robinson was convicted of leading a street brawl with 100 football fans in July 2011. [comment: There you go with the mainstream Western capitalist press narrative -- again. What's with the far-right focus, RT? And who cares about his convictions. The bet is that any nationalist is going to have a long rap sheet, because the British government will be looking for ANY reason to convict, in order to suppress nationalism while British capitalism maintains the program of British invasion and genocide of native Britons. I guess RT has been castrated by the Western media governing bodies designed to shut down genuine news, and have therefore taken to writing like the nation destroying press? ]
He yelled “EDL till I die” while encouraging Luton Town hooligans as they clashed with Newport County fans.
Despite his own history of aggression, Robinson has been quick to describe Islam as a religion of violence. [comment: RT News, even if Robinson were the British Ted Bundy, it is COMPLETELY IMMATERIAL to the point he is making.
It would be like someone, say, with a history of charitable works pointing out an organisation with a history of even more 'charitable works', and being dismissed for having done so ... on the basis that performance of 'charitable works' is a disqualifier. LOL. Why would the 'charitable works' of the former preclude them from discerning the 'charitable works' of the latter? That just doesn't make sense. ]
During a 2011 speech he blamed all Muslims in the UK for the 7/7 London transport bombings, which killed 52 commuters. [comment: It makes *MORE* sense to BLAME THE BRITISH POLITICIANS, intelligentsia, media and Britain's wealthy for what they have done to Britain. ]
Following the murder of British Army soldier Lee Rigby by Islamic terrorists Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale, Robinson went a step futher.
“Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is fascist and it's violent and we've had enough!”
Gurden said her client will appeal against the football banning order, arguing there is no evidence he has been involved in any football disorder for the past five years.
