Tommy Robinson has just walked out of court with a victory that is already being called one of the most explosive free-speech moments in Britain.
The terrorism-related case against him — linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN to UK police — was thrown out after the judge ruled the stop unlawful and reportedly said Robinson had been targeted because of his political views.
This was not just about a phone. This was about power, politics, journalism, and whether the state can treat someone like a national security threat simply because it dislikes what they say.
Robinson says he refused to unlock his phone to protect journalistic sources. The state treated it as a terrorism matter. The court, according to Robinson’s reaction, saw something far more disturbing: political targeting.
Then came the detail that made the story explode worldwide: **Elon Musk reportedly helped finance Robinson’s legal defense**, stepping in where others stayed silent and turning the case into a global battle over free expression. Robinson thanked Musk publicly, asking why it had taken an American businessman to fight for justice in Britain.
“First of all, thank you, Elon Musk,” Robinson said, before adding that he was targeted because of his political beliefs and that counterterrorism police were allegedly used to get access to his phone as a journalist.
For supporters, this ruling is a brutal warning to the establishment: if terrorism powers can be used against controversial speech today, who will be next tomorrow? Critics will still call Robinson divisive, but this case has forced a bigger question onto the table — do rights only apply to people the government likes?

I guess there are some non-marxist / non-woke judges remaining in the UK
There always are.
still at high tide but hopefully it’s beginning to ebb
But...but...but.. Kier Starmer assured us that there is “free speech” in the UK - and, in fact free speech is a “founding value.”
“Starmer stated that while Britain fiercely protects free speech, he draws a line at speech that peddles paedophilia or suicide to children on social media.”
Yes, I’m sure Tommy Robinson - who criticizes mass 3rd world muslim migration into England - fits in to that category, right Starmer?
“Free Speech” is whatever Starmer says it is.
WOW! Judge on edibles or something?
The everyone who does not agree with me is a terrorist is the new way of the elites to cover the fact that they are actually being the real terrorists.
Terrorist is used as an excuse to jail and remove the rights of others.
"First of all, thank you, Elon Musk," Robinson said, before adding that he was targeted because of his political beliefs and that counterterrorism police were allegedly used to get access to his phone as a journalist... Critics will still call Robinson divisive...
...but the only divisiveness comes from those very critics, who call anyone divisive who has a different view from themselves.
"Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon..."
FWIW, I think this is a modified limited hangout on the part of it’s Deep State.
Makerfield field is Thursday.
Its...
Since he never legally changed his name, that seems journalistically reasonable. We’re not talking about a man named Tommy Robinson; we’re talking about a man named Stephen Yaxley-Lennon who uses Tommy Robinson as a pseudonym.

Bluesky is EXEMPT from Keir Starmer’s new social media ban in the UK for kids under 16
I verified this and the ban ONLY effects:
X
TikTok
Reddit
Snapchat
YouTube
Facebook
Instagram
Threads
Twitch
Kick
Enforcement will consist of new ‘Facial age estimation scans, government ID cks and other biometric and document verification’ from social media companies of users
This has nothing to do with age verification, this has everything to do with needing anonymous accounts so liberals have everyone’s identification and can target them with attests

Keir Starmer is on a mission for his Davos masters to bring in their anti-Christ ‘beast system’ agenda 2030 on time.
What the British people want has clearly never entered into his thoughts or planning.
Satan desires two things:
1 - a divided Jerusalem.
2 - a digital ID control grid over the entire Earth.
Watch how often this evil man will dwell upon these two goals. This is who and what he serves. Just like Obama, Macron, Carney and others.
Only the USA is pushing back.
Oh please. Lady Gaga, Conway Twitty, Elvis Costello, and many other entertainers never changed their legal name, yet never had to read their real names in the media.
Only if you are right-of-center will the nanny-media constantly remind readers - as a way of trying to imply you are not trustworthy, that you are hiding something.
