Britain Is Now a Dictatorship Where Elites Repress and Replace the Native Population, Jailing Dissident Journalists

British patriot activist and journalist Tommy Robinson.

By Gavin Ashenden Published on October 31, 2024

On his return from holiday abroad last week, a few days before the anti-immigration protest that he organized in London was due to take place on Oct. 26, the British police arrested journalist Tommy Robinson on a technicality under the Terrorism Act.

The police demanded he give them his mobile phone and PIN number so they could ransack its contents. Like any other self-respecting journalist, Robinson refused.

And thus, Tommy Robinson became the latest person to become a political prisoner of the increasingly totalitarian government of the United Kingdom.

This is a new phenomenon, at least for Great Britain, a country which houses the “Mother of Parliaments” and gave the world the Magna Carta.

Imprisoned with the Muslim Gangs He Exposed

Locking up your political opponents is always a symptom of an aspiring totalitarian class. The new Labour government has shown that it is perfectly prepared to lock up critics who tell the public truths that elites would prefer to suppress.

Robinson’s real crime? He has been exposing the scale of legal and illegal immigration, as well as the wholesale rape of thousands of British girls by Muslim gangs. He also has been exposing the “two-tier” standards of the police and the judiciary under pro-Islam Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Matters came to a head a few years ago with a scandal over a Syrian immigrant in a school playground. During a fight, a white boy defended his sister against a predatory Syrian teenager, who had a history of violence.

The public narrative turned the truth on its head — demonizing the white boy and praising the violent immigrant.

Robinson claimed he had uncovered evidence which proved the local authorities had paid off witnesses, persuading them to change their stories. He did so through meticulous and professional journalism, showing exactly how both the local and national government had gone to great lengths and spent a great deal of money to fool the public.

The Syrian’s family sued Robinson for defamation — and extraordinarily, the courts found him guilty of libel. Robinson then produced a documentary proving everything he had alleged and putting it in the public space so people could judge for themselves.

Jordan Peterson Steps Up

The establishment panicked and did everything it could to suppress the documentary. Anyone who watches it will be shocked that a civil court trying a defamation case could rule against Robinson. But perhaps the stakes were too high for the truth. Maybe jurists were prepared to abuse the judicial process in order to protect the government and its commitment to large-scale immigration, legal or not.

In a surprising and dramatic intervention, popular Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson (who has also been a victim of his government’s tyrannical speech codes) gave Robinson a platform to explain his position. Peterson believes in free speech; allowing Robinson to tell his story was a matter of both international and moral importance.

This was a game changer. The video, released two months ago, gained a million views in just two days.

People were able to judge for themselves whether Robinson was a racist or a fascist (as his opponents call him), or a courageous citizen determined not to be silenced.

It would be difficult for any fair-minded person not to conclude that the British government was profoundly politically corrupt and setting out to deliberately deceive the citizenry.

A Police State

Only Jordan Peterson could have offered Robinson even the possibility of detoxification, given the extent to which the media has demonized him. Because of this highly unusual conversation, millions of people became aware for the first time of the depths of deception the authorities were prepared to commit against the electorate.

If Robinson is right (and the evidence he presented to Peterson makes it seem a matter far beyond reasonable doubt), the United Kingdom has already become a police state. Therefore, the police confiscating Robinson’s phone, and then jailing him for refusing to provide the PIN, can’t have been a coincidence. Robinson now sits in Belmarsh prison, where a substantial proportion of the inmates are Islamic terrorists and murderers. There is a very real danger that Robinson may lose his life to the people he has risked it to expose.
