Conservative Activists Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone Detained in UK

Austrian activist Martin Sellner of Génération Identitaire and his girlfriend, American author and YouTuber Brittany Pettibone, have been detained by airport police in England.

Sellner was on his way to give a speech that authorities say would cause “tension among local communities and possibly incite hatred.”

“Yesterday, Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone were detained by the UK Government and effectively declared political dissidents. The government has decided that Martin’s talk about free speech is too dangerous to be heard. Don’t worry, some of our activists will be reading his speech at Speakers’ Corner at noon tomorrow in his stead. We can’t allow either the far left or the government to silence us,” a statement from the British GI chapter read.

Sellner frequently speaks out about the dangers of European nations taking in migrants. He was supposed to be addressing the issue at Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park on Sunday.

Journalist and researcher Nick Monroe spoke to Pettibone on Saturday afternoon when she called him from the detention center. She told him that she is expecting that they will be released tomorrow.

Somewhat like not allowing Michael Savage to enter the U.K.

The UK and many other countries within Europe are becoming fascist states. It’s very sad see what’s going on.

Just an observation: doing things like this actually gives people MORE attention than they may get otherwise.

That’s a good point. But I think the MSM/State Controlled Media is as bad in Europe as it is here so it remains to be seen how much this will be reported. What is reported will not be accurate.

England is such a disappointment. It’s approaching police state government without making a fuss. The distance between them and their Greatest Generation is so great as to need turning the eyes away. A German victory and occupation would have run its course and left them about where they are today.

It is hard to know how it would have ended. Very badly for English Jews, at minimum.

All of society would have been much different.

A world where the Germans had no Western front, and the Soviets had no American or British aid. Where would Hitler have stopped?

It would have taken a while for Hitler to digest European Russia.

How can I be surprised when they will arrest people for reading aloud from a book by Winston Churchill?

Don’t take it too far afield. British culture would have righted itself and like Japan grown accustomed to the occupation. They might even have achieved free speech by now, which is more than they have today.

Why are we still giving money and aid to Britain?

Why do we still have facilities at Mildenhall and Menwith Hill?

They persecute Christians, European Nationalists and promote tens of millions of Muslim terrorists to come to Europe.

And one of their spies is a POS who tried to frame the President with bulls**t smears.

The government there is just a Fabian Socialist front.

Why do we cooperate in any way with them? Because Nigel Farage still lives there?

Bombs away. He can hide in Scotland while we flatten London.

I didn’t know we were. Do you have a cite for that?

Hitler should have embraced political correctness. Amazing how some of the cradles of freedom are going down.

It took 75 years for Soviet Socialism to “right itself”.

The National Socialism of Germany might have been a little less irrational than Soviet Socialism. It might have taken a good bit longer.

Japan was occupied by the U.S.A, far, far less totalitarian than NAZI Germany. Japan was Hitler’s ally. Hard to say if Japan would have attacked the U.S. if England was occupied.

It seems more likely, rather than less, and I think the U.S. would have won the pacific war in any case.

But all is worthless “What if” speculation.

It’s like the game paper, rock scissors. Western culture and it’s freedom is the paper and Islam is the scissors. The West is shredded and Islamic fascism rules.
