Philosopher deconstructs Tommy Robinson

Tommy Robinson is a British anti-Islam campaigner and one of the UK's most prominent far-right activists.

While he has been a vocal campaigner on the grooming gangs scandal, this philosopher explains why his interest in the subject are disingenuous.

It would be helpful if you put Jack's name in either the title or description.

Thanks.

I hate the whole "innocent women and children" line. They're all innocent. The men included. The idea that the women and children are innocent but the men aren't is basically a concession to genocide.

These two are so far from knowledgeable. Absolute waste of time watching this.

Part of the grift? Mr Robinson's cousin was raped and his uncle's friend Mark Sharp died after an assault by Luton residents of Pakistani descent. I don't like everything Tommy says but he grew up on the streets of Luton unlike this well spoken philosopher who has probably never been in a street fight.

Gaslighting at it`s finest. Let`s talk about the victims for once.

I recall hearing about a marine biologist working at an aquarium who became depressed when he realized there was no porpoise.

I think these two are so naive. I say this as someone who’s well versed in Islam. Part of my family is Muslim. My wife herself was raised within a Muslim household.

As the saying goes evil exists when good men do nothing. For far too long due to political correctness and fear of offending a religious community institutions were complicit. You don’t have to like Tommy but at least he had the balls where others didn’t to sound the alarm.

What I’d like to see is less finger pointing about Tommy, Rogan and Peterson and more honest discussion about how to tackle elements of the ideology which are problematic so that the next generation don’t experience the ordeal of girls gone by.

That requires tough unpleasant and unpopular topics being discussed and hard grown up conversations. A lot of these issues are cultural but have credibility in schools of jurisprudence, tafsirs and authentic hadiths. These things need addressing. I growing up had to wrestle with them. My wife had to wrestle with them. At this moment in time Jack is too eager to please the establishment here. People downplay the religious element of these attacks at their peril.

Very odd decision to stick Tommy Robinsons names in the heading and description but the name of the philosopher you are talking to throughout this video is nowhere to be found. Bizarre.

A 30 year old philosopher doesn't know anything about anything.

What most, if not all people missing is the Israeli lobby's involvement with Robinson as well as Peterson recently since he joined the DW Robinson is actively working for division on behalf of Israel in the uk, hence that x post too

The fact that JP said on Piers Morgan that Tommy Robinson was his chief source of information from Britain suggests he should no longer be taken seriously.

Some surviving victims from Rotherham have said that they wouldn't be alive without public support. Free speech is a lifeline, not a luxury.

I personally find these 2 insufferable.

[Yujo]

Who is this guy? Why his name is not in the title?

[mansnotbot]

Rogan's views change depending on who he's talking to.

[mazglaz]

Why did the community and religious leaders of all these cities not stop or report the perpetrators over all the yers that these endemic rapes, torture and trafficking going on? Why the silence?

Dr. Jack Symes, for anyone that's wondering who the guest is

At 09:40: Nit picky - but there are allowances for victim testimony to be recorded and not given in front of their abuser. Not as prevalent as perhaps it should be, but misleading to suggest we don't do that at all in the judicial system.
