I have commented a few times on how repressive the UK is. Some of you probably thought I was exaggerating. There is no First Amendment in the UK, and the "conservative" government has become increasingly intolerant of any criticism of its suicidal immigration policies or of any criticism directed at its rapidly growing muslim population. Recently some fairly prominent foreign right wing figures were detained trying to enter the UK and held in custody, apparently based only on their political views.
As frightening as those incidents were, they pale in comparison to the treatment meted out to a high profile right wing figure, Tommy Robinson. Robinson is an independent journalist who makes videos on the sidewalk, typically criticizing the country's immigration policies or the failure to prosecute horrific muslim crimes. While reporting outside a high profile trial of a group of muslims accused of running a grooming, ie sex slavery, gang, in which young white girls were pimped out and treated in appalling ways, he was arrested and summarily sentenced to 13 months in jail. An order was then issued barring the media from even reporting on his arrest and sentence.

This kind of kasfkaesque secret arrest and punishment is apparently legal in the UK. One can easily imagine liberal journalists here being outraged if Putin did such a thing, but they have been remarkably silent over Robinson's plight.
Robinson is at high risk of being murdered in prison, as he is a particularly juicy target for jihadis looking to advance their religion.
It's hard to believe that our own government still considers the UK a close and reliable ally. Their spy agencies were up to their ascots trying to defeat Trump and then smear him. It's clear we no longer share common values with their ruling class. It's time for Trump to take a stand and demand justice for Tommy Robinson.
