You’re conflating the overwhelmingly peaceful counter-protests with the violent disorder outside the Southport mosque (“I’m not sure what else the intention might be”) I know there were also violent counter-protesters, some of whom were inspired by deliberate misinformation - those guys should...

Again, if you have evidence that he specifically wanted to generate violence then let’s see it. The idea that he’s “equally accountable” to a guy with Mein Kampf in his boot who set up a Telegram channel urging “heavy hitters” to “mask up” and gather in numbers outside a mosque and hang the...

I assume you’re referring to the list of anti-immigrant protests which he later said was a hoax. Did he make that list up? Did he share it with the intention of sparking violence?

I don’t have any evidence that you’re not a tax criminal either. However interesting it might be for me to see you face tax charges, it’s not how our justice system works, you’re being silly. The Muslim community seems like one of the most electorally unimportant constituencies in British politics.

I don’t think a court of law would find them guilty - if you disagree, why not show me your evidence?

Because the alternative explanation isn’t rooted in reality

He’s in need of a full pre-season - I can’t imagine he’d be here for any reason other than to make up the numbers in training and maybe try and get a deal elsewhere in the summer.

Paterson has played a grand total of 44 minutes in MLS this season before being shunted to the MLS reserve leagues (which are barely semi-pro quality). He hasn’t played a single minute of football since October. His career is to all intents and purposes dead.

You would have to prove that Hope Not Hate deliberately spread misinformation with the intention of creating violent disorder - no-one could argue that with a straight face.

Phil Masinga?

Yes - "whataboutism" in other words Your consistency in standing up for him, and those who share his views, is well noted

Do you ever get tired running all this interference and whataboutism any time someone gets convicted after attending or organising a far-right racist protest?

This is nonsense - everything that is "part of" a crime isn't a crime in itself. I assume you're suggesting Hope Not Hate should be prosecuted for spreading misinformation - good luck proving that they were encouraging violent disorder and criminal damage.

Yes, thank you, I saw that the first time - it's not what he was convicted for though, is it?

Was it? He was convicted of encouraging violent disorder and criminal damage, he wasn't sent down for "misinformation".

"The encouragement stuff" seems quite important to me - this was seen as one of the more significant networks organising the initial unrest that eventually ended up with copycat violence across large parts of the country. It would be nice to just talk about individual cases without it turning...

In isolation, do you think the sentence was fair?

God, it reads like it!

Isn't this just AI?

And weirdly also, Glastonbury!
