Update: I turned this into a video and a new post. See it here.

Over the weekend The Times (Sunday Times) ran yet another boring hit piece against Tommy Robinson £. Unfortunately this one was written by Andrew Gilligan, a journalist who has done some valuable work exposing the political Islamic infiltration and take over of various local authorities particularly Tower Hamlets followed by corruption and graft.

The main basis of his hit piece is that Tommy raised lots of money while in prison because lots of people sent small amounts to help out with his legal costs. Good. Andrew also pulled a ridiculous quote, completely out of context, from a speech he gave in Germany. He also said that Tommy has recently moved into a new house and said what it is worth. He didn’t point out (or hadn’t bothered to find out) that Tommy built the house on land he bought some time ago. Because Tommy always has been a builder and re-developer of houses (I’ve known this for years because I know him!).

But lets look at one throw away line to show you how the M5M “journalists” work:

In a video interview with PI News, an obscure German website, he said: “I sacked my solicitors because they tried to broker a deal where I apologise and I admit guilt, and then if I do that then I go home.

I’ve know about the website PI-News.org for more than a decade and shared beers with the founder and technical staff because they’ve been the leading counter-Jihad website in German for a long time. If Andrew had bothered to look he could have found out their web traffic it is huge. And I know, again because I’ve met the people who run the site, they face a constant battle to remain online. If they weren’t being continually attacked by German authorities I suspect their traffic would be far higher.

Here’s the web traffic comparison of The Times and PI News

And here’s just The Times UK ranking:

As you can see, for an “obscure” site, PI News is drawing half the traffic of the centuries old Times newspaper of London and is in the top 500 websites for Germany! The Times ranks 256 in the UK. For web geeks you’ll note that PI News has better engagement stats, longer visit duration, more pages read and lower bounce rate.

So how can anyone take The Times seriously on all the other stuff? Here’s the centrepiece of Andrew Gilligan’s piece. A pull quote where Tommy Robinson said the word “Hitler” clutch your pearls now if you have them.

Robinson was speaking after receiving the “European patriot of the year” award at a conference in Bavaria organised by the hard-right magazine Compact. In his acceptance speech, he said: “German people for too long have lived in the guilt of Adolf Hitler. Do not live in the guilt of Angela Merkel.”

Here’s exactly what he said, it was his closing statement of a speech that was haltingly given because Lutz Bachman had to translate each section into German on the fly. Tommy’s given speech like this a few times, it’s not an easy thing to do as it completely ruins the flow but Tommy adapts.
