In September 2011, at Preston Magistrates' Court, Robinson was convicted of assault for headbutting a man in Blackburn on 2 April 2011.

In November 2012 Robinson was charged with three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud by misrepresentation in relation to a mortgage application
Sometime after 10 pm on 17 January 2021, Robinson went to the home of the journalist Lizzie Dearden after she had asked for his comment for a story she was writing about allegations that he had misused financial donations from his supporters. He falsely accused her partner of being a paedophile and threatened to return every night.
On 13 October 2021, Robinson was convicted at Westminster Magistrates' Court of stalking the couple

Why isn't this guy in prison?
Superb reporting from The Guardian 👏
From those who don't know Haykluyt, it's basically a private intelligence agency. Their clients are multinationals, billionaires and wealthy individuals seeking to sabotage enemies or gather extremely sensitive information.
They call themselves "strategic advisory" but make no mistake, these people are spooks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakluyt_%26_Company#Activities
Hayklut's chairman, Lord Paul Deighton, is probably one the most connected man in Britain.
He is the chairman of Goldman Sachs in London
He is a close friend of David Cameron.
He sits in the House of Lords.
He is the current chair of The Economist.
Deighton was also the guy in charge of PPE contracts during Covid:
Lord Deighton has helped the government award billions of dollars in contracts –– including hundreds of millions to several companies where he has financial interests or personal connections.

I will not celebrate violence. I will not celebrate murder. It's wrong.
I'm sure he loved his wife. He loved his church. He loved his kids.
But this very same man had no issue with throwing men with no criminal records in horrific south american prisons. Men who simply wanted a better life.
He had no issue with spreading lies about election results, even if the result was violence.
He had no issue with lying about legal Haitian migrants eating dogs and cats, even if they received countless death threats.
He believed Canadian gun laws were silly, any angry man should be able to easily purchase guns. He didn't respect Canadians. He laughed at them.
I don't want to sound like a horrible monster, but it's hard for me to feel empathy.
Peter Thiel signed a massive contract with the NHS
But most UK hospitals say it's totally useless:
Palantir, co-founded by billionaire and Trump donor Peter Thiel—who once claimed the NHS “makes people sick”—is known for its secretive operations and controversial clients.
Now, nearly 18 months after the Palantir NHS contract was signed, Democracy for Sale can reveal that many English hospitals have a different, unexpected objection: Palantir’s software simply isn’t good enough.
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was even more blunt, telling NHS England in a private letter that adopting some of the tools on Palantir’s platform would lead it to “lose functionality rather than gain it.”

I'm a Foreigner. I clearly see corruption.
This is money stolen from the NHS. These people robbed the NHS.
The fact many Britons aren't angry and in the streets absolutely infuriates me.
People should be literally showing up at the homes of Boris Johnson and Dominic Cumming. People should be SCREAMING on them. These scumbags should be terrified. I understand the British aren't culturally the French, but still : /
There is absolutely no evidence that speed cameras are "tax grabs". This is a lie that just keeps getting repeated.
New York is the city with the most speed cameras in North America.
Now let's do some math.
- 222,000,000 /115,000,000,000 = 0,19304
Speeding tickets are 0.19% of New York's revenue.
If you drive above the speed limit and get a ticket, you aren't a victim. You will get over it.
Not enough attention is paid to the pain and suffering of the real victims:

This man has done an absolutely astonishing amount of damage to Australian democracy.
He has also damaged democracy in the United Kingdom and the United States. For decades, his medias have promoted climate change denialism, anti-union propaganda, and the most astonishing lies.
I still remember the headline of The Sun right before the UK referendum on European Union membership:
He is nothing less than a vicious criminal:

Shame on Australia for producing such a piece of shit.
He wouldn't have the power he has today without ordinary Australians using his medias as a source of information.
Please financially support media alternatives.

The owner of and absolute unquestionable algorithm controller of a preferred communications channel of the UK Government calling for violence and the overthrow of the UK Government.
Absolutely insane to me that the government, politicians, and newspapers litigate at length every minor mistake by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted.
But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this major media owner.
