Being Far Right is a Protected Characteristic. And It's Been Tested As So in Court.

Being far right, even though Robinson denies that, is now a protected characteristic. As much as being white, male and heterosexual. There's now precedence for it. 

So if activist NGO's and so on abuse it in that way in the future will they be liable for prosecution, equally to all other protected characteristics?

Court transcript of the ruling : 

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/R-v-Stephen-Lennon.pdf

"45. I must address two questions namely: (i) was the purpose of the stop for the statutory purpose 
set out in para 2(1) of Sch.7? and (ii) did your protected characteristics have a significant 
influence on the decision to stop? These are separate questions, and each must be asked. 
If there is evidence of unlawful discrimination, it is for the Crown to satisfy me so I am sure 
there was no unlawful discrimination before a conviction may be imposed.

46.The answer to the first question is, based on the officer’ evidence – I cannot be sure. The 
answer to the second question is, based on the officers’ evidence, I find that a protected 
characteristic appears to have had a significant influence on PC Thorogood’s decision
making. As I have found above, I cannot put out of my mind that it was actually what you
stood for and your beliefs that acted as a principal reason for the stop and acted as a 
significant influence on PC Thorogood’s thinking and decision making. This is based on his 
evidence and that of the other officers. I am unsure if the “true and dominant purpose” fell 
within the powers conferred by Schedule 7.

47.In light of my findings the prosecution has therefore failed to satisfy me so I am sure there 
was no unlawful discrimination. Based on that, if the decision to stop and examine you was 
not in accordance with the statutory purpose, it is not lawful and I cannot convict you of an 
offence under para 18(1)(c).

48.I therefore find you not guilty. "

It's curious these court docs are being held on a vulnerable system like wordpress!

PETITION: Government to indicate countries of the UK are open to accede to the US

Sign the Petition A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious con...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this. And the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...
