Excellent piece with the kind of lucid insights that seem blindingly obvious after they have been expressed. Richard D Hall’s calm analytical approach though, has never incited lawbreaking as far as I know. Perhaps they have allowed him to continue, thinking him useful in fomenting discontent but then decided his influence was too strong and he needed to be destroyed and made an example of to discourage others? That he might knowingly be CO I find difficult to believe

Thanks randomfreehuman. I believe the issue he is in court for is whether he has himself harassed the alleged victims (doorstepping etc) and breached data protection / right to privacy laws.

Yep that’s the accusation….I was referring to the idea you expressed about individuals winding up a crowd to incite lawbreaking and then disingenuously claiming innocence. That has never been Halls modus operandi

Indeed, that wasn't meant to be a reference to Hall, but to people like Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox.

Ok def agree with you on them, but it felt as if Hall was being tarred with the same brush, whereas he’s a totally different kettle of crabs….to shamelessly mash up my metaphors
