I was able to get word to Tommy Robinson about my offer to create a print of him, where the proceeds would go to him, outside of what I would need for production and shipping and handling costs, and he expressed appreciation for it. I was told to coordinate with those at TR.News. If it’s not obvious, my cartoon is based on Spartacus, echoing my earlier Geert Wilders cartoon. Tommy will be sentenced tomorrow by his guilty persecutors, and this is the way I can help him. And you can also help him by ordering a print. It’s 11 x 17, signed by me, and unlike my other prints, I’m not going to limit this run. You can order it domestically or internationally here. Thank you.

Nice work

Your image and message are profound and striking. Thanks for helping Tommy Robinson, and thanks for helping us express our outrage at the treatment he has received at the hands of his government.

I’m not sure that the UK Government actually is Tommy Robinson’s ‘government, or indeed most UK citizen’s government, because not only do they seem to presume the right to do just what the hell they want irrespective of the wishes of the majority British people, but they also show utter contempt and disrespect towards their voters and complete negligence of their duty of care towards majority British citizens (e.g., with the muslim grooming gangs). Clearly the British Government’s sense of duty is towards itself alone and any group or cause it favours, without reference to anyone else. If this were France or Hong Kong, or anywhere else less docile, there would have been mayhem on the streets well before now.

Poland had Lech Walesa. South Africa had Nelson Mandela. We have he that shall not be named. After the civil war we will erect a statue of him in trafalgar Square.

———————————————————————————————————————
Alan, appreciate the sentiment – Tommy Robinson is a brave and decent man, the hounding and persecution of whom is a perfect illustration of the “Orwell-ianism” that: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it hates those who speak it.”
However, your comparison – although well-intended – is about as misplaced as humanly possible: Nelson Mandela was an Algerian-trained terrorist whose lifes’ work was to impose through a campaign of violence and planting bombs – including at the Johannesburg railway station – a violent corrupt totalitarian Communist society on South Africa, the wreckage of which is his true legacy.
Tommy Robinson has dedicated his life to RESISTING those who are trying to impose a violent corrupt totalitarian society on us through the the use of violence and bombing railway stations – (Milan / Kings Cross / Parsons Green etc) – and blowing little children to pieces at pop-concerts etc: Spot the difference ?
I was going to put an account of Mandela’s appalling activities together, but Tom Tafesh on “Quora” has already done it better:
“Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists.
It is astonishing that Mandela is hailed and worshipped as some form of icon of peace and freedom nowadays.
Nelson Mandela was not striving for democratic “freedom” in the sense we think of it in the West. The wrong assumption is that he struggled for some kind of freedom for the African black people and for democracy for all people. Mandela’s idea of freedom had no relation to democracy.
Mandela was striving for communism and violently demanded a communist society. If we look at the history of communism in different countries around the world we find that these government have never provided freedom to its own people. Under communism the people are under full control by the government and are not free to govern themselves. In other words, it’s only government officials who have freedom. So Mandela was striving to force others to comply to his own ideals of an oppressive government, which would give his political party the freedom to decided whatever they wished, at the cost of the freedom of the people itself.
Nelson Mandela committed many terrorist acts in South Africa in effort to try and superimpose communism on the region from the ideals of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. He was also a strong supporter of terrorist organizations such as Hamas, the Libyan dictator Gaddafi, and many Muslim leaders supporting terrorist ideals. Nelson Mandela received training in terrorism through Islamic jihad-cells in Algeria in 1961 (Jabhet Al-Tahrir Al-Watani). Nelson Mandela was responsible for many murders of innocent women and children and he was arrested and jailed for his terrorist acts, not because he was some form of heroic freedom fighter. Mandela engaged in over 17 terrorist attacks in South Africa. He was also engaged in ideals that strove to kill white people merely for being white.
After Mandela was imprisoned Mandela was offered freedom many times by the South African government under State President P W Botha. The offer was given on the condition that he would stop his violence and terrorism of innocent people, but Mandela rejected these offers.
Today with ANC in power we can see the devastating effect of the ideals of Nelson Mandela destroying South Africa as it is. Once in office, even Mandela’s government slipped into the custom of putting national corporatism, power and prestige above its people which is a standard norm under communism. We also see the effect of purely racial genocides against the white community in the region, escalating economic problems, and the highest crime and murder rate in South Africa’s entire history. Now, why would anyone want to award and celebrate such a legacy?Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party.

Bosch Fawstin print: I’m Tommy Robinson
………………….
Excellent work, Bosch–and I did immediately think of your Geert Wilders print. I can’t fit this in my budget right now, but hope to get it soon. That the proceeds are going to Tommy Robinson is wonderful.

Bravo Bosch Fawstin. Your talent is prodigious. If you were making prints of people like Ilhan Omar, you’d be a Pulitzer Prize winner by now. Thank you.
Bosch Fawstin says
Thank you, and you’re right.

I understand the issue concerning Tommy Robinson and the UK’s persecution of him. I
support him. I admire the talent of Mr. Fawstin. However I do not understand this poster.
I just don’t understand d a number of black silhouettes.

Carolyne, it is like the scene from Sparticus–“I am Sparticus”.

Bosch, when good people do good work, it is very, very good. This is very, very good. So is the work of Ezra Levant, who has undertaken to visit Tommy in prison every week and publish his prison reports, the first of which has just been released: https://www.therebel.media/prison-reports-ezra-levant-tommy-robinson-contempt-of-court-conviction-journalism
