Political prisoner in the UK: Tommy Robinson gets 10-month sentence

A police state in honor of Allah...The UK has not quite hit bottom, but it is only inches away...It won't bounce, it will go 'splat'...We can have 'splat' right here if we don't take lessons from the UK and put a stop to creeping or any other kind of sharia...

The punishment fit the crime if you ask me, especially considering his priors.

I greatly admire Tommy, but when you're a public figure you need to be more careful.
We need to imitate the One who said:
"Which of you convicts me of sin?" John 8:46
And avoid the imitation of the one who use to say:
"I seek forgiveness from Allah a hundred times a day." Sahih Muslim 35, 6522

I guess he did it because he feels he'd be murdered if he traveled openly. I saw a video in which Tommy Robinson (Stephen Lennon) is driving down a street with a journalist filming in the car. The street is in a Muslim area. A Muslim man recognizes Tommy, comes over to the car, and starts talking belligerently to Robinson, who talks back. The Muslim, though he knows he's on camera, starts to hit Robinson in the face. The attack is interrupted as Robinson quickly drives away.

Imagine how many death threats Robinson has gotten, how many times Muslims have physically attacked him or tried to attack him, how many Muslims in the UK want to kill him and would kill him if they could. Maybe in this situation with the wrong passport, he thought the UK couldn't or wouldn't provide him adequate security. So he gets ten months for trying to protect himself. Islam appears to be a terminal disease for freedom in the U.K. Can the EDL, or some other democratic group, find a cure?

Let me see if I got this right, Stephen Lennon (an alias for Tommy Robinson) entered the US on a fraudulent passport, bypassed the second interview, entered the US illegally, then departed the US on his real passport!? Is that correct? This is criminal, plain and simple and has everything to do with his behavior, not politics. For Ms. Geller to make him out to be a victim and a "political prisoner" because he received a 10 month sentence is off the mark. As we say here in America, "if you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime." Seems to fit.

Why was Robinson / Lennon previously prohibited from entering the U.S? Robert, can you tell us why?

AKA skevin

What is the standard sentence for his offense?

There's no equivalence here, Robert.

Perhaps Lennon has been unfairly singled out somewhat by the British judiciary - and there's no doubt whatsoever that Muslim terror supporters and extremists are facilitated and treated with kid gloves by cowardly UK authorities; but the fact remains that he showed total disregard for the laws of the US and the UK by attempting to enter your country illegally.

The fact also remains that the EDL has some very shady connections indeed - violent soccer hooligans, antisemitic skinheads and Nazis and more. Not the kind of people we need on our side.

We deserve better company than this in our struggle.

Political prisoner in the UK: Tommy Robinson gets 10-month sentence
............................

Tommy Robinson *is* a political prisoner.

As noted, actual Muslim violence is winked at, while Robinson is sentenced to almost a year in prison.

His using a false passport was very unwise, but his being barred from the United States in the first place was absurd.

He is telling some very "inconvenient" truths about Islam. Can't have that...

His public order offences are no doubt connected to him being in the EDL and being attacked by "anti-fascists" and Muslims and having the nerve(!)to fight back.

So what if he has drug offences, does not Obama, the leader of the free world, admit smoking weed everyday for a long period of time and doing cocaine?

Also, this man is a REGULAR GUY, not some politician or elitist or rich person. He is the working class. He has to live in the neighborhoods being taken over by Islamists! So what that he is not perfect! Its beside the point.

Any petty crimes (and some I wouldnt even call crimes) he has committed are beside the point! Do not politcians commit grand crimes every day, and you listen to them and respect them as sheep?

This man is your average 'working joe' Brit who had the balls to speak out! If you can't respect that, then I don't know what to say to you. His whole life wasnt planned with the thought of being a public figure and carefull guarded as most who become the elite are! He is a normal person who is a patriot and because he speaks out, as he lives with Islamic violence and supremacism IN NEIGHBORHOOD the spotlight was on him, and he gladly took the reigns. Warts and all. More than we can say for those of you who criticise him! Who sit safely behind your computer and smear him as if he is a low-life. Shame on you!

He didn't use "a false passport"- he used somebody else's passport.

Tommy has been convicted for an alleged offence in a foreign country.

What right has the British judiciary imprisoning an English patriot who has broken no law in the UK?

If a crime was committed, it was committed in the U.S. A.

In that case, why didn't the U.S. ask for him to be extradited?

I get it: Britain still has jurisdiction over the U.S., the revolution never happened, or did it?

Why was he not allowed to come to the US in the first place is the biggest question. Because he has some misdemeanor BS on his record??

But he did break a law in the UK - he used someone else's travel documents and impersonated them; that is tantamount to using a falsified document.

He then went on to attempt to enter the US illegally.

Whether or not you think he is a freedom fighter, he did act contrary to the laws of the United Kingdom - as well as the United States.

Also, let us remember, while it was a stupid move by Tommy Robinson, he did it to display solidarity with Americans on 9/11.

Yes, he is a political prisoner, and yes, he was foolish in not considering a sadly important fact: He is not going to be judged on anything resembling a level playing field, so any miss-step on his part, would be jumped on, exaggerated, and used to beat him over the head or even to death with.

He is trying to take on a very corrupt political and legal system, one which in no way reflects England’s history and is transforming into a very literal fascist state.

He should have ‘attended’ by a video link, and his effort posted on any sympathetic websites, with captions outlining the degenerate state of England’s previously quite noble heritage.

If your enemy is NOT playing by any rules (Islam and rules?? Pathetic thought.) you have to step outside the rules, without breaking them…. Until you have overwhelming support. He might actually have overwhelming support at this point, but the English lickspittle media would make sure it is never known to be there for him.

Shame on those Hypocrites whose lives are planned in public life.

Shame on UK dhimmies!!!!

There is no doubt that Tommy Robinson acted foolishly in entering the US on another person's passport.

Given the dhimmi enabling of the current governments of both the US and the UK, his being railroaded should come as no surprise.

But that does not mean that his draconian sentencing or his barring from the US in the first place is right.

It just shows that any Anti-Jihadist must be an absolute boy scout, lest they give the dhimmi authorities *any* excuse to come down hard on them.

Meanwhile, of course, both garden-variety criminals and—especially—Jihadists get the benefit of the doubt—even where there is no doubt...

Madness, and suicidal madness.

I have decided that rather than complain about the dhimmi British authorities I am boycotting all British goods. It means that my family also won't be buying British goods because I control the purse.

Has anyone seen the Jihad Watch regular "Westward Ho"? Haven't seen him in a long time, and I wrote a message to him as an essay on my blog back in August, but no reply from him.

http://hesperado.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-belated-note-to-reader-westward-ho.html

While it is not any sort of 'justice' that he sits in jail in solitary confinement (as Muslims would murder him given half a chance and we know how many Muslims are in UK jails), I am willing to bet that he is serving his sentence with pride and with the knowledge that he is fighting for a just cause.

They cannot break him. He will come out stronger, and the officials know this fact, so let's hope that they do not try to prevent him from coming out alive by looking the other way as Muslims murder him in jail. He is safer on the outside where he has control of his own life. I fear for his life when the officials have any part in the control of it.

The best way we can prevent that is to let the officials know we are watching, are aware of him being there, and we hold them responsible for his safety. http://englishdefenceleague.org/

I really wanted to believe in this guy. up until now he has been able to represent the interests and concerns of native Britons with a kind of streetwise eloquence, putting things succinctly into perspective with unvarnished honesty and showing himself able to do so even when the cards were stacked against him.

Whatever his past going forward into his role as leader of the EDL, he should have scrupulously obeyed the laws that all are (still) expected to adhere to. Who here has traveled using another person's passport or would advocate doing so. I know I don't. And I wouldn't want anyone to do so using an excused Tommy Robinson as a precedent.

I don't know if Robinson's reputation can be rehabilitated after this. I hope so. His image in the British counterjihad has proven beneficial. But it will take time and time is one thing that is in short supply.
