Serial Violent Right Wing Anti-Woke Racist Wife-Beater Thug Joey Barton found guilty of assault against his wife, again. Kicked her in the head.

Woke judge

She was almost certainly asking for it

Nanny state etc etc

Oh for the good ole days when you could boot f**k out of the missus without lefty liberals stopping you

Etc

They loved it, really.

. He certainly made a glaringly bad mistake, and he and his career will pay for it shortly.

I bet you $1000 he won't lose his job or be reprimanded

Trump only picks the "best people"

He will back him and blame someone else

Your country is under the control of incredibly stupid incompetent morons

Trump himself removed highly classified top secret documents and stashed them in his golf motel and the FBI had to go in and retrieve them

This is the same mob that wanted Hilary jailed for breaching security

He doesn't give a f**k about security now he's back

I'm not sure why you accused him of being a right wing racist but he was/is a dangerous thug.

And of course you're quoting without giving the whole reason.

She withdrew her complaint (although she was probably threatened) and the judge was in a difficult position saying they BOTH lied.

Talking of disgusting, repellent right wing filth...

"A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said: "A man has been charged with a sexual offence following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
"Laurence Fox, 46, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on April 24 charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003."

Because everything diusagreeable has to be given the label "right wing" or, more commonly "far right" now just to prove a point. Even, ludicrously, people who dislike certain television programmes apparently:

The fact that the Right are getting in a tizzy about this only goes to prove that a) they've not watched it & b) they'll believe any old shite they read on the internet.
Which, ironically, is the whole point of this drama.

And you've read the tweets of these people who "disliked" the program, I presume?
I'd hate to think you were talking from a position of ignorance.

He posted a picture years ago of the race baiting nobody.
It was a picture from a tabloid newspaper and the race baiter also posted it herself.
Sexual offence my arse. But it gives all you raving left loonies air time

And the opportunity for people like you to once again defend criminals

I'll stick to calling out violent, racist, perverted criminals, you carry on defending them over and over again

Lovely decent kind hearted chap that you are

Does it make you feel 'big' and 'hard' defending these scumbags? Makes you feel like a big man?

I mean Laurence Fox does seem like a repellent human being, but I don't know him so I can't say for sure
but this so called "Sex crime" is being a bit sensationalised

No, I don't have access to "social media" (thank goodness). Nor do I have access to Netflix so haven't seen the programme in question. But that's not the point.

The point is that not everything can, or needs to, be politicised. People can make obnoxious or disagreeable comments (on- or off-line), can indulge in thuggish behaviour, can commit sexual offences or can riot - and have done since time immemorial - without it automatically (and lazily) being assumed that the perpetrator is right wing, left wing or any other wing just because it fits some agenda to call it such.

Which programme are you talking about?

In the case of Joey Barton and Laurence Fox it most certainly is not lazy assumptions

You only have to read the clap trap they spew onto X to know exactly what side of the political fence they sit on

And Fox's Reclaim party is most certainly a right wing populist party

Fact, no assumption

I assure you, the people who were getting aerated were unquestionably speaking from a far-right perspective.
Happy to work together to come up with a new name for this grouping of people (and in fact, Alt-Right is probably more appropriate)
But they are a group - or rather a loose alliance of people - with a shared agenda.

Maybe, but that's still not the point. The fact that they may have "right wing" views is not the reason that they have acted as they have. The two factors are completely separate. Plenty of people with right wing views don't commit crimes or make obnoxious comments; plenty of people with "left wing" views do. Yet it is becoming the norm to preface every report of wrong-doing with "right-wing..." as if that is the only reason that they act as they do. And that is insulting to those with perfectly legitimate right wing views who do not commit such crimes or make such comments. Why not just describe them as "thug... ..." or "sexual deviant... ..." (if applicable - and leave them to sue for libel if not) and leave politics out of it?
