A man dubbed the 'Lion of London Bridge' after confronting a terrorist has been put on an anti-terror watchlist.

Roy Larner, from Greatstone in Romney Marsh, was one of 48 people injured in the terror attacks in the capital in June 2017.

The Millwall fan was stabbed several times as he bravely confronted the killers and was hailed worldwide for his heroics, with a petition set up online to award him the George Cross.

Mr. Larner has had a couple of scrapes with the law. But he is a genuine hero. In 2017 three Islamists attacked a crowd of pedestrians on London Bridge. They killed seven people and injured many more.

The Islamists then entered a pub, looking for more people to attack. Larner was in that pub, and he fought the Islamists off with his bare fists. He got stabbed numerous times, but his actions probably saved the lives of other patrons.

Will he got the George Cross? No way. This is 2019. It's much more likely they'll send him to prison on some trumped-up "Islamophobia" charge.

It’s so disheartening. I am just sickened by how Europe increasingly treats white people. I mean, the liberal mentality seems to be that whites have no place in any land they colonized or immigrated to, that those lands should belong to the indigenous people. But Europe is the one and only place where whites are indigenous. So can one say that they should be able to say “this is our land?” Well, no. No, whites can say that NO WHERE ON THIS PLANET... and oddly, it’s the same attitude liberals have toward Jews and Israel. They must not ask for a single country of their own, not one.

“since been placed on the Government’s Prevent programme and an anti-terror watchlist amid fears he could become an extremist after he was contacted by anti-Islam supporters, according to a report in The Sun.

He has had to attend de-radicalisation classes and is under police surveillance.

Roy told the paper: “They treat me like a terrorist but I’m not political at all.”

Yep, thats what they get for electing a muslim mayor. The guy is a hero and now he’s the bad guy and the muslims are the vivtims....se how it works?

Why do we still have air bases and personnel in this upside down country defending their absurd Orwellian “government”?

And why did my family have to fight, die and be wounded in two wars to save their miserable decrepit asses?

Yes. Larner is a little rough around the edges. But his kind were the ones who kept Hitler at bay when England stood alone in 1940.

I believe that the monarch awards the George Cross, on the advice of a committee. Queen Elizabeth would be doing her country a great service by awarding the medal to Larner.

Of course that will never happen. It is way too politically incorrect. Plus it would upset Prince Charles.

Being anti-terrorist makes him a terrorist?

How do they know who contacted him? They put him under surveillance because he exhibited excessive hostility to murdering terrorists?

And this from the article:

“Anti-terror cops first got in touch with him amid footage of him yelling abuse at a black man while walking his dogs.”

In Britain Black can mean anything darker than off-white complection. Indian, arab, Nigerian, all black. Context in this case gives us a hint: he was probably an arab muslim.
