Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate
ohulancutash@feddit.uk 1 day agoThat certainly goes for normal practice, but there is also an element of ignoring the warning signs and the zookeepers, climbing in the cage with the lion, and being shocked when mauled. It’s not like they made a secret of their attitudes.
The problem with that logic is that anyone can be let off the hook for immoral/illegal behaviour as long as they have said beforehand that they’ll do it.
If I walk into a shop and tell the shopkeeper I’m going to rob them should I then get to take whatever I want with impunity?
A more apt analogy would be an invite-only shop with a buzzer on the door, and the shopkeeper buzzing in the shoplifter having been told that this is Angus Strange, notorious thief, and he has brought with him a fast car and has no method of payment on his person other than a lead pipe.

To be fair, she could have kept quiet about this and avoided another round of people calling her names online, which would have been the easier path. Most people in this thread might know “Robinson” is dodgy but we’re not the target audience.
