“Britain can stick their trade and diplomatic relations up their Royal a$$es;”

Well ok...but sorry to inform you that isnt going to be the view of the U.S. government, nor even the majority of the people here.

Tommy may be a hero and celebrity to people online, but offline he is virtually unknown and everyday people are not going to go with that attitude for some guy they never heard of.

Maybe if the queen’s guards are mowing protestors down in the street, but short of that, you are going down a dead end.

” I hope any remaining patriots in that s&&tholl burn the place to the ground.”

Burn the place to the ground?

How about they exercise the ability to vote? It isnt like the UK is a dictatorship. They have all the ability in the world to affect governmental change at a ballot box.

Because if they think following your hothead advice is going to get anything other than the majority of the UK on the wrong side, then they aren’t thinking.

The voted for Brexit 2 years ago now.

ZERO has been done to achieve that so far.

“Some problems can’t be solved by elections.”

Civil wars and revolts are not tools to cover for lazy electorates either.

LOL, imagine actually believing this with a straight face.

And they can easily vote the government out.

Are they going to? If not, then that’s on them.

Why do you think they’re importing the Brit replacements?

Shall I post articles re: vote fraud in the ‘majority replacement’ areas?

Likely elections in the UK have been farked for a long time.

Why do you think they took their guns and want ours?

Well then they can go ahead and start shooting, since it’s all a big game to run to because the other stuff is too much work.

The first officials head they blow off, you had better hope that the vast majority of people cheer, or else your little “war” is over. If you think the vast majority of the UK are going to be on their side when that happens because Tommy Robinson got shafted by a judge, then they are really going to be in for a bad time, like it or not.

“It would be like the UK putting sanctions on the US because they consider the 2nd amendment to be a human rights violation.”

IMO Her Majesty’s government would love to do that.

Turnabout: if anything happens to Tommy Robinson, Pres. Trump should either cancel his visit or give Theresa Hijab a lesson on freedom of expression in the Declaration’s list of causes for the American rebellion.

Again, just my opinion. No nation operates in a vacuum, not even North Korea.

Right you are. By all accounts we're a government who has willingly allowed an agent from MI6, along with an obese Cambridge professor, a free hand to tamper with a presidential election while simultaneously blaming Putin for what they themselves have done. And as long as American geldings enforce our foreign policy, and weak men fall in line, free trade will flow and precious diplomatic relations with Habsburg jawed diplomats will prevail.

When a story goes global and results in global protests then there’s something that is happening outside traditional media.

I don’t agree with your assessment but I suppose we’ll wait and find out...

This was about to happen here if Hillary won. Part of what is happening is due to PDJT, they realize they need their own. I believe the sentiment is shared all over Europe and probably elsewhere.

This is going to get interesting, it is growing, what when the media can’t ignore it?

I seem to remember they voted to leave the EU. They are still in.

The Brits did, however, cooperate with Obama to surveil and set up Trump, in retaliation perhaps.

You and your fellow travelers need to stop it with this line of BS. Most people in the western world, including so-called "everyday people" are on-line these days, a lot more than spend their time watching the goggle-box at the airport.

Remember, Trump actually got elected in spite of the supposed power of the MSM to suppress what they don't want everyday people to know about.

That so many "world leaders" are paralyzed with fear, lest they violate some PC taboo, illustrates the importance of Donald Trump's defiance of such thought control.

The hatred of the "Never Trump" types reflects the inadequacy of those cowed by the PC world, and provides the most compelling of all arguments for those, who care about the future, supporting our President.

What Drives The Trump Haters.

"We" need to stop elevating the MSM to a position of power they don't have. Whether they ignore it or not is irrelevant. In fact, they cede power by ignoring it, because by ignoring it they can't shape the narrative, and in fact if they have to take it up eventually are stuck with the narrative shaped by those discussing it in their absence.

“You and your fellow travelers need to stop it with this line of BS. “

You want me to lie and say that EVERYONE knows who he is, because that is a load of nonsense.

I follow these stories closely, subscribe to numerous YouTube channels of people whom many people on FR didnt even know about. Mention Sargon of Akkad, and you will get a more “WTF” than people that know whom you are speaking of, and he is as well-known to the same small circle that knows Tommy.

So sorry, but the vast majority of people in everydayland dont know who these guys are outside of political junkies like us.

“... he is virtually unknown...”

According to Drudge there are mass protests worldwide. One of the photos shows a line of UK police with a business marquis in the background showing “Police State”

Another article states UK allowing journalists to report on his case
