‘Free Speech Is Dead’ – Police in Khan’s London BAN Pro-Trump Rally at U.S. Embassy
Breitbart ^ | 14 Jul 2018 | Jack Montgomery

Police in Sadiq Khan’s London have used the Public Order Act to prevent a rally in support of U.S. President Donald Trump outside the American embassy, despite permitting a large, ill-tempered anti-Trump rally on Friday. Protestors attending the ‘Welcome Trump’ event had planned to gather outside the embassy and march from there to Whitehall, where they would have joined in with a separate ‘Free Tommy Robinson’ event in support of the activist and independent journalist who was recently imprisoned for contempt of court after reporting on a grooming gang trial.

But the Metropolitan Police Force, which answers to a large extent to Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, used the Public Order Act to impose a raft of restrictions on both groups of protesters which made this impossible — despite allowing far larger anti-Trump protests at which at least six people were arrested to go ahead on Saturday, with demonstrators carrying signs emblazoned with harsh profanity and messages such as “Die Trump Die”.

UKIP Verified account @UKIP The Police have slapped Section 12 of the Public Order Act on the pro-Trump rally at the US Embassy.

“I was planning to go to the American embassy to meet with a group of demonstrators who are planning to welcome Trump into the country… it’s really good to see him in this country, and speaking truth to the people in power in this country,” explained David Kurten, an elected member of the London Assembly for the Brexit-supporting UK Independence Party.

But they let anti-Trump slugs organize outside when he arrived. Talk about bias.

You can’t give these “police” immunity from their treasonous acts.

The previous occupant of the White House was a Marxist Islamist who didn’t want a bust of Churchill there.

According to Fox News:

“The day started with a small pro-Trump rally outside the U.S. Embassy, featuring numerous red “MAGA” hats and U.S. and U.K. flags — as well as a few anti-Hillary Clinton shirts.”

Most Americans have NO IDEA which freedoms are not available in ANY other country. Way too many people take our freedoms and advantages for granted. I pray the majority awaken before it’s too late.

Not just Islam. What separates us from the rest of the world is the 1st, and most important, amendment to the constitution. Sometime we forget this. Were liberals to have their way, we would be a lot more like the rest of the world in this regard.
