How am I feeling. If you mean in the general, I am feeling fine. However, if you mean how do I feel about this verdict? I believe it is absurd, harsh, and as usual deflects from the real issues that the establishment appears to have no answers for. The BBC and others have done exactly the same things as Robinson. Exactly the same. However, there is no equal punishment for them. It is a political decision and designed to send a message. The UK has fallen tremendously in recent decades and rather face up to the problems, the system is reacting in order to respond to those who speak up about the problems.

Everything about Robinson is a stitch up from previous sentencing, to his social media blackout (Facebook has NEVER revealed the data alleged to have been sent by him), to the response to being attacked, now to this. All it will do is energize and radicalize and people who do support Robinson will find their support in turn grow too. It's a very interesting juncture. I have no faith in the British legal system though and think it is like many legal systems around the world in that decisions often make little sense beyond the political. 2 years in prison for this is probably more time than people get for far more serious crimes. The crime is that he has challenged authority and like in other authoritarian countries that is deemed unacceptable.

I feel mostly for Robinson of course and his wife and his children especially must be devastated that their Dad is once again being taken away for really doing very little at all. This is what radicalizes people. Instead of listening and accepting that he has a point they attempt to shut him down entirely. It is wrong because he does have a point. You do not open your borders to cultures who cannot adapt to your values.

The point was once again proven by a man stabbing Londoners precisely because they are British just last week. It would not happen if people were doing serious tests and analysis on anyone coming in. Can you adapt and fit in and if not then the door is closed. Won't work? Then get out. Break the law, then no prison. Back to where you came from. Far too soft and Robinson is not to blame. It is just seen as easier to deal with him as his supporters are mostly peaceful.
