Justin Smith shows his disdain for the United Kingdom jailing
Tommy Robinson with nearly no due process, in secret and jacked into prison for
13 months. A prison with a bunch of Muslims where death threats await Robinson.

Free Speech Is Dead In England
British Government 'Disappears' Tommy Robinson

The arrest of Tommy Robinson, a British free-speech
activist, on May 25th, for simply asking questions of alleged criminal
pedophile Muslim defendants, as a citizen journalist, has sent shock waves
across the Anglosphere and left millions of people in disbelief, forced to now
acknowledge that the United Kingdom, once dedicated to the values of freedom,
has taken a hard-core, divergent path towards authoritarian government and away
from freedom. The once great nation, that created the Magna Carta and once
commanded an empire, is now the land of tyranny, and unless the British people
love their freedom enough and fight this injustice in fierce fashion, it will
remain a land silenced by intimidation and fear.

On Friday May 25th, 2018, Tommy
Robinson was arrested for “breaching the peace” while filming outside Leeds
Crown Court during the ongoing trial of a Muslim grooming gang. Robinson’s
preexisting suspended sentence for “contempt of court” was immediately reinstated
and he was swiftly imprisoned. Robinson being jailed for any length of time in
a prison system filed with people who want him dead could tragically be a death
sentence. The court also instituted a “reporting restriction” on the Robinson
situation, leading to a media blackout among United Kingdom based publications
and citizens. In the United Kingdom, 2018 is 1984.
The authoritarian socialist government of the United Kingdom
has been out to get Robinson for years on anything they can. It has harassed,
intimidated, arrested and incarcerated Robinson on past occasions for similar
actions, as it did last May, since it is now apparently a "crime" to
report on the decades long systematic rape of hundreds of non-Muslim children
by gangs of Muslim men, who are now apparently a protected class of people.
Lizzie Dearden of the Independent reported
that Robinson was arrested for "breaching the peace", no doubt an
absurd pretense by the British authorities, in light of the documented film
footage of his actions.
Tommy Robinson, a former member of the English Defense
League whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is being unfairly persecuted
by the U.K. government. Robinson's "crime" was that he yelled questions
outside Leeds Crown Court and named the alleged defendants, like
any other reporter. So what? The state broadcaster, the BBC, and the mainstream
media had already named them. Why was he arrested, and why were they not
arrested?
If gangs of white men had spent decades torturing and raping
little Muslim girls and a justly outraged Muslim reporter was covering the
case, in a similar manner as Robinson, would he be arrested?
We all know the answer is "no", and we know why.
The U.K is so invested in their politically correct, multiculturalism,
diversity project, as it seemingly calls good "evil" and evil
"good", that it has applied a different treatment of Muslims under
the law, which accepts the diversity of legal systems and places their country
on a path toward ruin.
Diversity of treatment under the law fragments societies.
Diversity in this sense cannot ever work, unless moral values remain constant.
If freedom of speech is a value and a virtue, can any free nation really
tolerate the intolerant and those who violently oppose freedom of speech, if it
expects to remain free?
Free societies can only function with a general respect for
the rule of law. If the application of the law appears selective, unjust or
political, the people begin to see the law as no longer representing them,
their principles and their moral values, and they will defy the bad immoral
laws and any injustice of its creation.
Americans should be highly concerned over this case, because
the same type of "hate-speech laws" used against British citizens are
currently being advocated in the U.S. Senate, by Marco Rubio (R), Kamala Harris
(D), Susan Collins (R) and Dianne Feinstein (D) and a long list of others.
Hillary Clinton pushed the same laws in 2012, and in 2015 and 2017, House
Resolution 569 and 257
and Senate
Resolution 118, three similar unconstitutional laws aimed at our
First Amendment rights, were advanced in our Congress, after being drafted
by EmgageUSA [Blog Editor: EmgageUSA About Page (formerly EmergeUSA)]and
the Muslim
Public Affairs Council, two Islamic organizations and defenders of
designated terrorist organizations and their supporters, according to the Investigative Project on
Terrorism. The passage of any such anti-Freedom of Speech bill
would place our country on Britain's same ruinous path.
In a frighteningly quick manner and only a matter of hours,
not only was Robinson illegitimately arrested, he was taken before a judge
without access to his own lawyer, no trial or due process of law, and he was
sentenced to thirteen months in prison. Afterwards, he was promptly transported
to Hull Prison, where an imminent threat of death awaits him among a prison
population that holds a large number of Muslims.
Remember, Kevin Crehan, a British citizen, was imprisoned
for a year for leaving a bacon sandwich near a mosque. He was found murdered in
his cell on December 27th 2016, which Joseph Curtis reported in
The Daily Mail soon after. The same threat hangs over Robinson.
As we all know, there has been no press conference or
detailed explanation of Robinson's arrest from the British government, which
further illuminates the illegitimacy of this action. Instead of transparency,
the government has banned any reports on the trial of the Muslim pedophiles and
the arrest and incarceration of Tommy Robinson. Not only are reporters
questions going unanswered, they are forbidden from even reporting the bare
facts of Robinson's incarceration.
On May 26th, Gerald Batten, a UKIP member of the European
Parliament tweeted:
"I am trying to recall of a case where someone was convicted of a 'crime'
which cannot be reported on. Where he can be cast into prison without it being
possible to report his name, offense, or place of imprisonment for fear of
contempt of court. Can anyone remember such a case?"
However, this only infuriated journalists across the
Atlantic, and Judi McLeod, editor of the Canada Free Press, opened her article by
asking, "Where is Tommy Robinson? A question whose answer
should be demanded rather than merely asked ... Modern day Merry England has
become far more nightmare than fairytale, as it steadily works its way toward
ugly police state status."
What's next England -- people getting 'disappeared' into
gulags or being shot in the back of the head, in the style of Stalin or Castro?
Free speech is dead in the United Kingdom. The imprisonment
of Tommy Robinson and the arbitrary silencing of the press proves this to be
so.
In a land that once could proudly state "the sun never
sets on the British Empire", their torch of freedom has been extinguished.
It's a land divided by diversity that has now descended into the darkness of
tyranny.
If the globalists in both of American parties and the U.S.
State Department have their way, America will be next.
Remember the words
of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:
“And
how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if
every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been
uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they
arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their
lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every
step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had
boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with
axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very
quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding
all of Stalin’s thirst; the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the
real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened
afterward.”
Tommy Robinson represents a large segment of Britain's
people, with over 500,000 signatures on a petition already to Free Tommy, and
they sent a clear message on Saturday May 26th 2018, that they had enough, as
hundreds -- thousands (?) -- of British people gathered outside 10 Downing
Street and stopped traffic, chanted and pressed the gates of Number 10 and
threw bottles at machine-gun toting policemen.

Their palpable anger hung thick in the air, because they
want Robinson, at the very least, to be released from prison and allowed to get
back to his life and enjoy the same protection and human rights and dignity as
Anjem Choudary, the terrorist supporter, was afforded by the authorities. And
short of this, the summer in Britain will turn out to be a season of riots and
civil strife, awaiting the spark that moves the good and decent Brits -- of a
long ancestry dating to 1066 and William the Conqueror -- to love their freedom
enough to rise and fight furiously to make their land free once more.
