Some news sites have mentioned his arrest and noted the protest, but a court ordered 'publication ban" is widely in force in the UK with no mainstream media reporting details of Tommy Robinson's summary punishment and for many media outlets even the arrest itself goes unreported........

How is this different than Nazi Germany or the U.S.S.R.?

You’d think that the Brits would remember the Nazis. And no, not the name that is tossed around repeatedly and to demean conservatives but the real Nazis.

It isn't. I'm developing a new attitude about Britain, from an historical perspective. It goes back to the Balfour Declaration in 1917. It goes back to not saving the Czar and his family by giving them asylum. It raises questions about a possible deal to help Germany rid itself of Jews by transporting them to the ME. It puts their involvement in the Dossier and in blaming Russia for the misdeeds of rebels in the ME. It makes me think about the ruthlessness of dealing with the Luddites and with the horrific way the underprivileged existed in Victorian England.

Is the Great Britain we learned about in History class an accurate analysis? If what we're hearing about this jailing of Tommy Robinson is true, it's no better than any tyrannical government.

Not a dime’e worth.....We really are seeing a descent into totalitarianism.

A country where people are punished for speaking as “hate criminals”, where people are not allowed to enter on the basis of their beliefs like the talk show host Michael Savage.

A country that kills the sick children like Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans, denying their parents the choice of medical treatment.

Donald Trump will visit this country on July 13th to meet with the “Maduro of London” Theresa May.

Mrs. May has Erdogan of Turkey, an elected authoritarian leader, as a guest recently and spoke about “human rights” in Turkey.

What moral authority does she have?
