The Tommy Robinson episode is yet another example of the paucity of public legal education. Much of the nonsense on here could be avoided by people having a basic understanding of how the justice system works instead of conflating it with American TV shows.
I don’t expect or want everyone to be a lawyer. I don’t think the public are stupid. It is however, impossible to have a sensible public debate when people are ill informed or deliberately mislead by those with an agenda.
Imagine trying to debate the problems in football today with someone who is annoyed by all midfielders being permitted to pick up the ball and throw it in the goal. They are doubly annoyed that if a striker then slaps the keeper, you get three extra goals plus the one thrown in
Now imagine someone who once claimed to be a football fan chipped in to say how this was all correct.
You however are a Premier League referee. You try and explain that the throw-slap rule is nonsense. Other people call you elitist and wrong. You give up. The Throw-slappers somehow claim they are right. You despair.
