Supporters of Tommy Robinson clash with police
Daily Mail ^ | Today | Green

Posted on 06/09/2018 10:59:06 AM PDT by PilotDave

Supporters of Tommy Robinson have clashed with police at a Whitehall demonstration after hearing Dutch far right MP Geert Wilders call for the English Defence League founder to be freed.

Wilders, 54, who was banned from Britain in 2009 only to get it overturned, has attended today's protest after the EDL founder was jailed for 13 months.

Robinson pleaded guilty to contempt of court and breaching the terms of a suspended sentence he was handed last May for a similar offence.

His supporters have gathered in huge numbers at a series of protests outside Downing Street, Leeds Crown Court and even at British embassies in Europe.

Meanwhile 50 people were stabbed or splashed with acid.

I hope as this is ignored and the police continue to respond in such manner as this, that it escalates.

There had to be a breaking point somewhere.

They are trying to portray Robinson as the Second-Coming of Oswald Moseley.

Terrible article by the biased UK press.

The big picture fact is that Robinson has long been a victim of targeted and selected prosecution by UK officials eager to suppress opposition to the country’s slide into Islamic darkness.

Others have filmed outside the Pakistani rape gang trials. A Sikh activist did essentially the same thing as Robinson, filming the accused rapists as they entered court, and naming them. No police swoop on the Sikh gentleman. No combing through the financial records of the Sikh guy’s brother to find some reason to jail him. (Robinson’s prior prison time was for unlawfully helping his brother on a mortgage application - how many jailed in the UK yearly for that???)

Of all the recent news, this is the most shocking that Tommy Robinson was arrested for giving a news report from outside a building where a trial was being conducted.

Mr. Robinson was charged, tried, sentenced to 13 months, and placed in prison within a span of 4 hours. Unbelievable!! This is what passes for due process in the UK.

This is the kind of "justice" that is doled out in Venezuela every day of the week. Great Britain really has become a third world country.

Yep people in England are saying how the media, Sky News, BBC etc are all ignoring it, and if they do mention it briefly then it is in a negative way.

I find it IRONIC that this is posted by “PILOT “
High above, sitting on fluffy white clouds, a large group of PILOTS are sadly looking down at the earth.
One of “THE FEW” anger in his voice is heard to quietly say....
“For THIS, we took off to stop the LUFTWAFFE? I guess in the long run THEY are the winners. Damn!!!”

England will one day have a civil war. It’s inevitable as the English government and Islam squeeze tighter.

A man worked at Buckingham palace was caught having 15,000 photos of children as young as 19 months old.

He got 9 months prison.

Tommy Robinson was videoing the rapists, and sex traffickers who are nearly always pakstani muslims.

He got 13 months prison.

No justice, and from the video’s I have seen with the police over there then the UK should be embarrassed. Their police do not allow even freedom of travel and can arrest you for doing nothing if they think you might cause trouble, and then can make you leave the town, or city

DM used Getty images, so can’t post them; but freepers should open the link and look at the huge crowds of protesters!
