Can we claim to have democracy when Tommy Robinson gets arrested again?

[Confused_Fred]

In the UK we all have a right to free speech and protest.

Tommy Robinson is nasty small minded man but he's got the same rights as the rest of us.

I'm alarm to see he's been arrested again this time under the Terrorism Act 2000 after a march in London on Sat.

Are we all so frighten of this man and his views we need to jail him for bad words and thoughts?

How does a totalitarian state attempt to make citizens obey its rules?


How do totalitarian states attempt to make citizens obey its rules? Through indoctrination, propaganda, and censorship. Control of mass media and of education is essential. Totalitarian states may also use terror or violence to control citizens.

The totalitarian state is here. It was brought on a wave of "wokeness" and all of us fell for it.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
