I'm interested to know who and why - the law, the Establishment, or whoever - has decided to take this action against Tommy. A number of Youtubers have suggested that he won't last long in prison. Now, if he were killed in prison, that would create real problems. It is a fact, that Robinson has a huge, and very royal following who see him as the voice of reason in the whole Islam, multicultural debate. He basic message seems to be that certain aspects of the teachings of Islam do not fit in with Western values, and, also, a number of imported Middle-Eastern Islamic cultural norms are at odds with the British way of doing things. Whether anyone can, or is willing to, fill the gap that Tommy's imprisonment will create is another matter, but the people who want to silence him better hope that he doesn't become an actual martyr because that would really up the ante.
