It is typical of Britain today when someone who incites violence on the streets of Britain is given his own radio show and someone who does not carry out such despicable acts is removed from airwaves.
Katie Hopkins has been in trouble with the civil law almost as much as Mr2% has with the criminal law.
Look up her case v Jack Monroe
Read about why the Daily Mail had to pay out £150k of damages after a couple of her articles.
Or why the Mail online had to pay damages to a teacher because of KH's lies.

I exaggerated about the 2% because when KH stood for election to the EU Parliament she got 0.6%

There is a noticeable difference between the two types of crime.

She has been punished for hers.

And to be fair, so has Steve Yobbo-Doublebarrel. Three prison terms, if I'm not mistaken, one of them for fraud. He has quite a track record of violence, according to Wiki, in fact. Though, fair dos, he has managed a tanning salon in Luton, apparently.

I wonder why the voters were not drawn to his magnetic personality. Must be a fix by the system. Stands to reason. :D

Let us have some links.

Here is the relevant section from Wiki. You can easily find links for each one from this. I quote it in full:

See also: Monroe v Hopkins
Cookery writer and anti-poverty campaigner, Jack Monroe threatened a libel action against Katie Hopkins after Hopkins accused Monroe of vandalism to a war memorial, having confused Monroe with journalist Laurie Penny, who had written in support of that vandalism.[149] Monroe called for an apology and a £5,000 donation to a migrants rescue charity.[150][151] Hopkins later admitted that she was mistaken about the identity but did not apologise.[152] Monroe began legal action in January 2016,[153][154] and was awarded £24,000 in damages and £107,000 in legal costs in March 2017.[155][156] After the decision became known, Hopkins tweeted an image of herself as the Virgin Mary and commented that she saw herself as "the Jesus of the outspoken".[157] An appeal application was refused in January 2018 as it was considered unlikely to succeed.[158]

Mohammad Tariq Mahmood, his brother and their children were stopped from boarding a Norwegian Air flight from Gatwick to Los Angeles on 15 December 2015. At the airport, the family from Walthamstow found their entry visas to the United States had been cancelled.[159]

In December 2016, the Daily Mail and General Trust settled a libel case brought by the Mahmood family with £150,000 damages, plus legal costs, over two articles by Hopkins posted on the Mailonline website which claimed members of the Muslim family were extremists.[160][161] The columns published at the time of the incident falsely claimed that officials were right to stop the family flying to Los Angeles to visit Disneyland because the two men were connected to al-Qaida, and that their stated plans were a "lie".[162] In the settlement, the assertions from the Mahmood family were accepted as true by the Mail and Hopkins; the family had arranged to stay with another brother living in California,[161] The family's MP, Stella Creasy, complained to the prime minister David Cameron at the time about the family's treatment, but Hopkins said Creasy was a "whinging…blond-bobbed maniac".[159]

In a statement from the family's solicitors, Carter-Ruck, they said: "matters are not helped when sensationalist and, frankly, Islamophobic articles such as this are published, and which caused us all a great deal of distress and anxiety. We are very pleased that the record has been set straight".[162][163] The two articles by Hopkins about the Mahmood family have been removed from the Mailonline website.[164][165]

In November 2017, Hopkins' former employers Mail Online apologised and paid "substantial damages" to teacher Jackie Teale, after Hopkins falsely accused Teale of taking her class to a Donald Trump protest in Westminster.[166]

In May 2018, Hopkins won an IPSO case against the Daily Mirror for claiming that she had been detained in South Africa in February 2018 for taking ketamine.[167] The Mirror updated the headline to say that she had been detained for spreading racial hatred, and included a correction in the article.[168]
UNQUOTE

The last one is funny: Mirror had to correct their headline to state she was detained in SA for spreading racial hatred, and not for taking drugs as they had alleged. So that's all right then.

Other media outlets are always getting things wrong with the one exception of WikiLeaks, but who gets punished, WikiLeaks.

I don’t do Twitter, but I have just looked at her account and it contains more relevant news than you get from the MSM.

I found this out by visiting her account –

O one of little Understanding

Voters on that election only had one vote. they did not vote for individual candidates, It was a party list election.
A fact that seems to surprise you and Mr 2% and who ever provided that table.
( he actually had 2.2% which ever way you look at it)

There was no way to attribute votes to candidates so the votes per candidate column is entirely spurious.
(I for Instance would have voted for each of the LIB Dem candidates (rather than the single vote I was allowed.)
Voters only had a single vote no matter how many candidates were on their chosen list.

Had we been able to vote for all eight seats(candidates), each of those vote totals would have been multiplied by eight or the number of candidates on each list.
2.2% robinson would have still had exactly the same number of votes as people could not have voted for him multiple times.
Had he remained with UKIP he might have done rather better.

Indeed. But that's because.....it's lies! As other posters have already pointed out.

Steve Yobbo-Doublebarrel rather brings to mind a P G Wodehouse character, from the Jeeves stories set between the wars, called Roderick Spode. This large, physically aggressive and generally unpleasant person ran a sort of organisation of fascist volunteers, called the "Black Shorts" (the shirts having apparently run out by the time Spode got round to deciding on a uniform). In addition to the faintly kinky-sounding nature of "Black Shorts", Spode in his professional life ran a ladies' underwear emporium on Bond St.

OK, a tanning salon in Luton does not quite have the same cachet, but still...........
