Avoiding censorship by going abroad

Former Smiths frontman Morrissey has thrown his support behind jailed EDL founder Tommy Robinson. He also praised Anne Marie Waters far-right ‘For Britain’ party, known for its anti-Islamic views.

An explanation of what happened to Tommy Robinson, and what it portends for the West.

After Luton, UK native Tommy Robinson saw muslim hoardes spitting on parading British veterans and their families, he could stand it no more. Robinson had never been an activist or troublemaker but he organized a patriotic march to protest what the shocking scene that unfolded in his hometown. His life quickly changed as the British Police repeatedly brought him in for questioning at the exact times he'd scheduled his marches. They arrested his wife, then six month pregnant, and subjected her to eight hours of questioning, telling her she could go away for 5-8 years in prison on trumped up...

Leave it to Gavin McInnes to give us an overview of the latest persecution of an English patriot which is both edifying and hilarious. He has pinned down the animating force behind the media-driven vilification of men like Tommy Robinson and those who populate the English Defense League, which is in large measure a function of class prejudice. It’s not enough to foist the worst byproducts of their deracinated, globalist ideology onto them-thereby ruining once thriving, harmonious communities in the West-they expect their victims to jubilantly embrace their new, dysfunctional multicultural society. The news presenters from the BBC don’t despise...

A small victory for freedom of thought in a nation which has gradually descended into the muck of fascism, aided in no small part by the wholesale importation of Islamic radicals. Paul Weston, himself a victim of political persecution for expressing wrong think, explains why Tommy Robinson is the #1 target of the British government in a disturbing essay for Gates of Vienna, which you can read here.As frightening as what’s transpiring in the UK is to most rational human beings, the sad truth is that these anti-Western witch hunts could very well make there way to the United States,...

Tommy Robinson, an organiser behind the anti-Islamisation group PEGIDA UK, has been found unconscious after a night out with his family in his hometown of Luton. He is said to have sustained head injuries, and is now recovering in hospital. "Tommy attacked – for those of you asking how he is, he is okay," his personal assistant Helen Lel Gower revealed on Facebook yesterday. The attack is thought to have occurred on Saturday night. "He was on a night out with his wife and was found unconscious," wrote Mrs. Gower. Adding: "They have been at the hospital all night and...

A few weeks back, Tommy Robinson, former leader of the English Defence League, sent me his self-published memoirs, called Enemy of the State. The book has been largely ignored by most of the established media, although has caused a bit of a stir among counter-Jihadist groups across Europe. I’d recommend people read it, although perhaps not for the reasons Tommy would like you to. First up, I should say something about how it’s written. It’s chronological, starting from his childhood, and runs right up to the end of 2015. Tommy Robinson, whatever you think of him, has had a busy...

BRITAIN'S newest political movement which has vowed to fight the "Islamification of the West" has marked its official launch today by announcing its first major rally. The UK branch of the far right German campaign group PEGIDA will mark its introduction into the political sphere with a march throughout Newcastle later this month. The new group, which has been set up by former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson, announced the planned protest with a message saying: "Let's show the Islamists we show no fear."

BRITAIN'S newest political movement controversially branded Islam a "fascist ideology" which is incompatible with British life as it marked its official launch yesterday. The UK branch of the far-right German campaign group PEGIDA marked its introduction into the UK political sphere with a series of provocative and divisive statements about Islam and the current refugee crisis. The new group, which has been set up by former English Defence League (EDL) leader Tommy Robinson, also announced its first planned protest with a message calling on supporters to "save our culture". Addressing reporters at a pub in Luton, Mr Robinson said: "We...

The arrest of Paul Weston, an anti-immigration campaigner in England, for repeating Winston Churchill’s unflattering observations about Islam in a public speech has been reported around the world with headlines from the US to Russia to Japan. Weston, who leads a small party called LibertyGB, was bundled into a police van outside the Guildhall in the town of Winchester, after being arrested for suspected racial harassment. It is a shocking event because to many people overseas, Britain is still a country where there is freedom of speech. But the Weston arrest is only the latest in a series of incidents...

I’ve watched the BBC documentary When Tommy Met Mo: Leaving the EDL (you can see the video by clicking on the "Enza Ferreri Blog" link above), which was clearly intended to portray Islam as a peaceful, nice and tolerant “religion”, hijacked by some, in short the usual spin, but this time with the prestigious and authoritative backing of a former English Defence League leader. That Tommy Robinson lent himself to this circus shows what a confused man he is. He has a split personality, at least vis–à–vis Islam. There are times when he appears to understand, at least partly,...

The unfortunate article published on The Telegraph "Islam is way more English than the EDL" is a classical example of the most myopic and ignorant journalism. The author, Tim Stanley, has no idea of what Islam is, and yet insists in writing about Islam. Just read this: By contrast, most Muslims cling on to values that were once definitively English and that we could do with rediscovering. Islam instructs its followers to cherish their families, to venerate women [by beating and stoning them], to treat strangers kindly [by beheading them], to obey the law of any country they are in...

The video that you can see by clicking on the link just below this post title is that of a BBC lynch mob against Tommy Robinson of the English Defence League, during the programme called - a misnomer - FreeSpeech on BBC3. It is not free speech if you verbally abuse and even incite to murder someone for exercising his right to free speech, as it happens in this "debate". Interestingly, the comments to the video on YouTube reveal how the audience was cherry-picked by the BBC to fit its political bent and in no way represents the British general...

What you’ll see on this video is something so breathtakingly ridiculous that if we just described it and didn’t show it to you, you’d think we were lying. Namely, that Tommy Robinson and Kevin Carroll, two activists from the anti-Muslim protest group the English Defence League, attempted to conduct a charity walk in East London on behalf of a little girl with neuroblastoma – and included in their plans was to lay a wreath at Woolwich Barracks, the site where British soldier Lee Rigby was slaughtered in broad daylight by a pair of jihadists on May 22. But Robinson and...

Two prominent US bloggers have been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office has said. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer co-founded anti-Muslim group Stop Islamization of America. They were due to speak at an English Defence League march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed. A government spokesman said individuals whose presence "is not conducive to the public good" could be excluded by the home secretary. He added: "We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form."

Look at the similarities. As Gallia Watch explains, the French video that you can watch by clicking on the link just below this post title shows "the vigil held in Montpellier on the eve of the first homosexual marriage in France that took place May 29 in that city. Les Veilleurs (those keeping vigil), seated on the ground, and singing L'Espérance (Hope), their anthem, are confronted by the pro-gay crowd, standing, visibly more rowdy and drinking, carrying the multicolored banner of Gay Pride". It is easy to see the contrast between the beautiful, peaceful hymn sung by the Les Veilleurs,...

'Six Islamic extremists who plotted a bloody attack on an English Defence League rally have been given lengthy jail terms. The men travelled to the rally in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in June last year armed with an arsenal of weapons including two shotguns, swords, knives, a nail bomb and a partially-assembled pipe bomb. They were jailed for between 18 years and nine months and 19-and-a-half years.'

Tommy Robinson is the front line against Islam in the UK. Whatever his previous problems...he is on the front line against the Islamist attack on the UK. Here are a couple of videos that will bring you up to date.Michael Coren Interviews Tommy Robinson Of The EDL - English Defence LeagueNEW Tommy Robinson speaks about the Woolwich terrorist attack and EDL response COELUS

Very impressive. He looks and sounds good. Did not trip over words. He totally understands Islam and Jihad. It is as if he has been reading Jihad Watch for a few years and learned everything Robert Spencer had to say He speaks in non-posh English accent. Working class accent? This highlights his populist appeal.
