Tommy Robinson Cleared of Charges as Judge Rules Protest Ban Was ‘Unlawful’

The charges against activist and independent journalist Tommy Robinson were dropped on Tuesday after a judge at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court found that a police order banning him from a protest in London was unlawful.

Mr Robinson, 40, was arrested in central London on November 26th for supposedly violating a ban from attending a pro-Israel demonstration. Police argued that he refused to comply with the order and therefore used synthetic pepper spray on him, placed Robinson in handcuffs and arrested him.

...

Speaking outside the courthouse on Tuesday alongside one-time UKIP backer Lord Pearson of Rannoch and broadcaster Katie Hopkins, Robinson said: “Freedom of the press is under attack, freedom of speech has been under attack. My freedom of assembly, all these things have been taken from me. I’m now allowed into London. What’s been ruled on is the arrest was unlawful, the pepper spraying was unlawful. They arrested me on my daughter’s birthday, that’s now unlawful. Their bail conditions are unlawful. This is the first time I’ve been freely allowed in my capital city, and it’s on St. George’s Day.

...

For the last six months I’ve had to go to a Muslim police officer and ask permission to come into my own capital city, of which one of the meetings was to interview a member of Parliament. That Muslim police officer refused that request.

...

“This is the eighth time I’ve been in court on this offence at a cost of £60,000. This is about lawfare, the process is the punishment

The UK is in dire need of an overthrow of their government and the creation of a constitutional republic.

What they have has failed to protect the people from invasion and the usurpation of their rights.

Assuming you are a US citizen it seems like you are living in a glass house throwing stones.

Ah, but as Mark Steyn would say, “the process is the punishment.”

We are not yet as far gone as is the UK, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.

I am holding out hope that things can be turned around in the USA but at the same time well aware that things can go to poop in the course of a few days or less.

The world hates the Jews but the Jews aren’t going to kill you or pose a threat ever

The propaganda that the Jews will drink your blood and eat your children will never go away. the real threat is Islam

The real threat are the people at cnn msnbc and the liberal media. These people spread hate.

The liberal actors and personalities want all the glory ,fame and money that come with being a personality and they don’t want you to have any of it. They don’t want you to be part of it. It’s a club and we are on the outside looking in
