With his wife or not, he is not in any danger what so ever. Just look at the awe inspired groupies following him. Just showboating to the groupies that he still has it.
That was a bully who knew he had the numbers. He wouldn't have done that in any other circumstance. I am over 50 so have seen this countless times at football, with poor buggers being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you have to instinctively work out the severity of your situation and adapt accordingly.
The victim because that is what he is, didn't have to provoke that situation. I find Robinson abhorrent, but that doesn't give me the right to abuse him, even if he is on the stump trying for office. There is no way in a million years I would do that at an England football match surrounded by mob mentality mindless idiots. However, that doesn't give him the right to assault anyone.
If you believe in his politics, fine. But he is no hero in this situation.
Well said,and to add this guy has a platform that influences people just like any other politician/celeb.You've got to expect you'll get this when your in his shoes.The kind of abuse he got is wrong but it is no different to what all politicians get as well as most high profile people in other walks of life.That youtube vid was also pathetic,he's done himself no favours here.
So he has to accept abuse when out with his wife?? Seriously you think that's ok??
Your putting it out there that given his status and profile no part of his life is off limits.
That's just wrong on so many levels. You probably think it's acceptable that be gets death threats against him, his wife and kids every day "it's part of the job"
