Jim, here's the Original Post (OP) of the Tommy Robinson thread. The post seems to me to be quite objective and dispassionate, and I don't find anything objectionable about it at all:

Subject: BS: Tommy Robinson's Arrest
From: Tunesmith - PM
Date: 27 May 18 - 10:49 AM

Tommy Robinson is a Brit and is outspokenly critical of many aspects of Islam in the UK.
Yesterday, he was arrested for "breaching the peace", and immediately sentenced to a 13 month prison sentence.
This has caused a lot of outrage, not only of Tommy supporters, but from many who feel that free speech is under attack.
I'll be interested to see how this plays out.

I don't know anything right off about the Mudcatter named "Tunesmith," but this particular post seems to be quite objective.
