'Lion of London Bridge' who was stabbed eight times as he confronted terrorist attackers '(tr)

Full title: "'Lion of London Bridge' who was stabbed eight times as he confronted terrorist attackers 'is put on anti-terror watch list after far-right extremists contacted him'"

The 'Lion of London Bridge' who was hailed a hero for fighting off knife-wielding jihadis during the terror attack said he is on an anti-terror watch list after being contacted by far-right anti-Islam supporters.

Roy Larner, 49, screamed, 'f*** you, I'm Millwall,' as he took on the knife murderers when they struck in June 2017 while he was enjoying a pint in the Black & Blue restaurant in Borough Market, in Southwark, south-east London.

But Mr Larner has since been placed on the Government's Prevent programme over fears that he could become an extremist after he was contacted by far-right yobs.

He has had to attend de-radicalisation classes and police are monitoring him, the Sun reported. 

Mr Larner said: 'They treat me like a terrorist but I’m not political at all. 

The 49-year-old required surgery after being slashed multiple times in the head and neck by Rachid Redouane and Yousseff Zaghba, who - along with third terrorist Khuram Butt - ended up killing eight and injuring 38 others.

Proof (as if any more were needed) that the Brits have lost their minds. Abasing themselves before terrorists, imprisoning people for self defense, there isn't any end to the idiocy that liberals will go to to control the populace according to their whims.

This is really, really sad, that the UK has fallen to this.

De-radicalization police?

You’d think they’d be very busy with the amount of WELCOME DIVERSE INDIVIDUALS who have brought violence to the Island, but no, the guy who moved to protect people is the real danger here in their eyes.

Honk honk!

"However, in July 2017, footage from February of that year emerged of him spitting on a black photographer and ranting about 'foreign c****s who 'stink like s***t'."

Sad that most of the men in Britain and Germany were killed in WWI and WWII.

Now, there is a wasteland of Soi-Bois...

How dare he insult Islam! </sarc>

Can you believe that the police in the UK are treating The Lion of London Bridge as though he were the criminal! I hope the real English people rise up against their overlords. What is so weird is that in the USA our sheriffs (and police mostly) hold conservative values, and would never take the side of Mohammedans. FBI, CIA, and Deep State excepted.

If travel to England, or virtually anywhere else in Europe was on your bucket list, its way too late to do it now.

Well yeah. I guess the gee-howdees will get cop protection now huh? You know, against the growing threat from alt right wing extremists like the ones in portland this weekend. Oh. Duh. Sorry that was just a service organization wanting to clean up after the right wing hate rally. Or something.

If he spat on someone, let him take his punishment. But requiring him to attend re-education class just for being contacted by people is akin to what happened in the USSR under Stalin.

A government that can’t even allow people to defend themselves is not worth having.
