"Tommy this, an' Tommy that ...an' Tommy go away"
Steyn Online ^ | 28 May 2018 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 05/29/2018 5:55:24 AM PDT by Rummyfan

...Rowan and Ross addressed recent events in the United Kingdom and in particular the fate of, er, someone whose name they weren't permitted to mention but who, um, had been gaoled for, er, something or other... This was somewhat astonishing to me, as I'd assumed empire-wide D-notices had lapsed with the passage of the Statute of Westminster. But mein hosts circled back, cautiously, to the topic toward the end of my interview - and I observed, as I have before, how in almost the entirety of the western world, whenever anyone draws attention to some of the more problematic aspects of Islam, the state cracks down not on the problematic aspects, but on the guy who draws attention thereto. In Britain and Europe, we are an incident or two away from literally "shooting the messenger".

Rowan, Ross and I all knew we were referring to a gentleman by the name of Tommy Robinson. I expect many of you know that, too. But I doubt most Australian viewers had much of a clue about it, and I'm pretty certain the overwhelming majority of his fellow Englishmen are unaware of his fate. As readers may recall, I have met Mr Robinson just once, at an event at the European Parliament in Brussels. He is an engaging, charismatic fellow, albeit a bit rough-hewn for the refined sensibilities of the metropolitan media ....

On Friday, Robinson was livestreaming (from his telephone) outside Leeds Crown Court where last week's Grooming Gang of the Week were on trial for "grooming" - the useless euphemism for industrial-scale child gang rape and sex slavery by large numbers of Muslim men with the active connivance (as I pointed out to the Sky guys) of every organ of the state: social workers, police, politicians. Oh, and also the media.

No, it is not lost. It is occupied.

I think there is a real prospect of civil war which is the real reason they have silenced and incarcerated Stephen AKA “Tommy”.

It is likely that an arrangement will be made to murder Tommy in prison, there have been several attempts before with the complicity of the prison managers.

To realize just how bad it is, take the time to view some of the video background on the situation. Here is one that is quite revealing:

Other videos show actual attacks on Tommy who is by his nature law-abiding and restrained but confrontational.

In view of Great Britain’s ongoing serious human rights violations, they should face national sanctions like any other rogue nation.

It is hard to imagine a nation so powerful as the (formerly)Great Britain would die with a whimper rather that have someone call them a racist on facebook, yet it would have happened here if Hillary had won.

Hey MARK!

Do you think you could convince your friends at Fox to run this story?!?!?

Gagging the press and staging a show trial is what they only do in totalitarian states.

They did that to Tommy Robinson in the UK. And it remains our ally,

It will never be sanctioned for that thuggery.

The judge in the case, one Geoffrey Marson, spent all of four minutes on trying, convicting and sentencing Robinson.

That might be a record.

Hate to break it to you, but billions of dollars in business nor diplomatic relations are going to be risked for Tommy Robinson no matter what people think about this situation.

He is caught up in the legal system of that nation. Goofy as we see their process, that is up to the people there to change via elections they ought to be more involved in.

It would be like the UK putting sanctions on the US because they consider the 2nd amendment to be a human rights violation.

People need to get that right now, this is a story only people engrossed in online politics know or care about, and realize that 99.9% of the planet couldn’t care less.

If they’re doing hard time for some sh#t posting on twitter the party’s been over for a long long time.

The sad thing is it could happen here as crazy as things are getting.

wow!

Was at a quiz tonight in Bali and there was a quiz team called "FreeTommy" (They were Aussies).

I didn't get it until they started to chant "Free Tommy" at the end of the quiz.

This really is global!

Apparently pizzagate is real. At least in the UK.

The police and local judiciary have ALSO been participating in the ‘child grooming’ (what a euphemism for child rape, gang rape at that) ‘parties’.

Makes you wonder why that PARTICULAR judge literally threw the book at Tommy.

What was that judge afraid of?

Britain can stick their trade and diplomatic relations up their Royal a$$es; I hope any remaining patriots in that s&&tholl burn the place to the ground. Just as we shucked off these colonialists years ago, Robinson’s allies should do the same.

Some problems can’t be solved by elections.
