I agree with Tommy Robinson being charged in contempt of court because I disagree with his views.

That’s not how courts work, and it’s not how laws work. It shouldn’t be done based on feels.

I disagree with JSO members being charged in contempt of court because I agree with their views.

They explicitly said they would rather people in ambulances die than let them through. Do you agree with that?

Because the former’s views are racist vile shit, but the latter’s views are well intentioned calls for reform.

Killing people is fine?

The two are in fact, not equal, and treating them as such, judging them only by how well they play the system we all know is designed to benefit the status quo is putting that system onto a pedestal of perfection and ignoring all nuance.

You can’t just say “no the law shouldn’t apply to you because I like you”. That sounds like the way some fascist shithole would be run.
