Freedom of speech and personal liberty have been engrained in Western culture for centuries and no country has done more to promote these values than the United Kingdom. From the Magna Carta all the way up to the present day, the United Kingdom has been a defender of free speech and democracy and has continuously led by example. As a Brit, it's one of the few things that we can look back on and feel genuine pride in what we have accomplished. Incomprehensibly though, it is that same United Kingdom which is now at the forefront of demolishing and eroding these rights and privileges.
By taking away our voice, the UK government is trying to stop us from speaking out against the atrocities committed against the people of the UK by Islamic extremists, grooming gangs and rapists. Our government allows ISIS fighters to return to our country while also allowing tens of thousands of jihadis to walk the streets while imprisoning its own citizens for merely speaking out against the problem. When our freedoms are being stripped away and everyone who speaks out is at risk of being visited by the Police, how can we protect our freedom of speech and British values?
We've reached a critical point in the history and future of the UK. It's a point that many of us thought would arrive much later but with the wrongful imprisonment of Tommy Robinson, it's time that we make a stand otherwise our country and freedoms as we know it will be gone forever.
To achieve this, we have to continue to speak the truth, no matter the cost. The only weapon that the government and police can deploy to silence us is fear. We must show the same courage and bravery that past generations showed when giving their lives to defend the United Kingdom from fascism. We need to refuse to be silenced.
We need numbers on the streets protesting and sending a clear message that we are not going away if we are to be noticed. It's clear that no matter how many of us march on Downing Street or through London, the media and government don't care. The only way they will take notice is when we refuse to let life return to normal until Tommy Robinson is freed and our values are re-instated. The demonstrations outside Downing Street yesterday where are good starting point, shutting down a road which has never been shut down before.
Despite what we are told, we are not the fascists. The ones calling us the names are the true fascists and we must not allow fascism and a totalitarian government and ideology to take hold.
Not only is it important for the way we live our lives now, but it's vital for our children's future.
Our grandparents and great grandparents sacrificed everything to defend this country. It's time that we do the same.
Resteemed. Good luck brits. Once a great nation. Now i dont even want/dare travel there again.

Our Purpose
I reckon you need to ask why the government of the UK has pursued this policy. I also think it's the reason you're not out of the EU yet.
You're being enslaved, and they intend to make it far more coercive. How do they plan to do this? By doing what they're doing. Inflicting intolerable harassment and sexual abuse on a defenseless people until they are so outraged they completely fill the streets and obligate the government to send in armed troops to put you in your place.
I believe they intend to do this across the EU.
How will you defend your freedom if you are unable to buy spoons without government approval? You won't. You'll be crushed just like the protesters in Tianenmen square. You're gonna need more than placards and chants to keep armed military forces from crushing your rebellion. You're gonna need more than spoons.
Good luck. But you're gonna need more than luck too.
Best wishes in your battle for freedom...
Thank you. Together we can change the world for the better.
I like your attitude & agree excepting having led by example since the American Revolution and the ratification of the 1st Amendment to our Constitution. That being said we have the same problem today which is the fact that there are persons in our societies that are held above the very law meant to govern us all, hypocrites that often give themselves titles that mean nothing until they are accepted by the rest of us. What we need to put on trial is Royalty, Nobility as well as other forms of authoritarian hierarchy in the world. We must level the playing field by forcing them to accept that we are all equal, something that won't happen until the rest of us understand they are no better nor entitled to anything more than the next person. One good way would be to enact an Inheritance law that says half of the value of all assets inherited are to be divided amongst the whole people giving the heir a choice of what assets are to be expended or sold to meet the requirements of the agrarian justice. I wish you the best of fortune in your endeavors for the children's sake.
I'm with you all the way my friend. Here in America, supporting your efforts with my full backing. Free Tommy and preserve what all those before us sacrificed. Thank you.
