Of Course: Britain Detains Tommy Robinson Again

It is coming to the point where you are more likely to be detained and prosecuted in the United Kingdom for just noticing that many migrants commit horrendous crimes than the migrants themselves.

Tommy Robinson, the UK political activist and critic of unlimited migration and critic of the British political elite's indifference to migrant crime, is once again being detained by the British government under suspicion of planning terrorist attacks.

Whilst our borders are open, whilst terrorist are coming in, Sudanese migrants are coming in trying to hack peoples heads off and rape our women and daughters, Tommy has been detained under the Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 and had his personal possessions seized in order for the UK government to get intelligence.

They likely want to see who he is talking to, and maybe find out who his sources are, sources who will expose politicians for their part in the rape of a generation of British girls.

This is an attack on free speech, this is an attack on investigative journalism, nothing more nothing less.

The Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 is there to stop and investigate people who are travelling to plan, prepare and carry out hostile acts.

So the UK government must think he's actually a terrorist planning to hurt British people...

This comes in the wake of the growing civil unrest in Northern Ireland after a Sudanese migrant tried to behead a developmentally disabled man who was helping him move right out on the street, sparking riots. 

The riots have spread to Scotland, and the threat of civil unrest in the UK is probably at the highest level it has been since The Troubles. 

Obviously Robinson does not fit into the categories specified in the law under which they are holding him; what they fear is his voice, and not any act of violence he or anyone he is speaking to will commit. 

Before I started paying attention to Robinson, I bought the spin that he was inciting violence, but actually what Robinson does is speak the truth about the disasters that come with mass migration. What is sparking the violence is the horrific crimes being committed by migrants, including mass rape, murders, terrorist attacks, and the stated goal of overthrowing British law and culture.

If the government wanted to quell the violence, they would address the problem; instead, they keep arresting Brits for complaining about the crisis. You can get a longer prison sentence for tweeting than for actually raping children. 

The violence is very real, and the government has legitimate concerns that it will spread. But rather than taking the concerns of ordinary Britons, which would help quell the violence, they are insisting that people's anger at the steady string of violent crimes is racist, and that they should just welcome their new overlords. 

Every time some horrific crime happens, first the police lie about who was the aggressor and who was the victim (Sophie of Dundee, anyone?), then they try to suppress the evidence. Next, they attack people who are angry, calling them racists, and finally they lecture about the value of diversity.

Robinson has been the target of their campaign to repress speech. And they are doing it again. 

He doesn't lead riots. He speaks to people, leads peaceful protests, and stands up to the politicians. He doesn't lead gangs of people to attack migrants; his target is the politicians, using his voice, and that is worse in many ways in the eyes of politicians. 

Arresting Tommy Robinson won't quell the violence; if anything, it will fuel it because it is yet one more piece of evidence that the British "elite" sees its own citizens free expression as the biggest danger. 

Unfortunately, they have FA'ed. They are now finding out.
