Future ages will see the UK’s persecution of foes of jihad terror as its darkest hour. My latest in FrontPage:
Britain’s darkest hour has followed its finest hour by 78 years.
Tommy Robinson has been freed from a stint in prison that he never should have been serving in the first place. The New York Times reported: “On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ordered his release, pending a new hearing in his case. The court questioned the speed with which he had been tried and convicted, noting that it took five hours from the time of his arrest to a conviction.”
Indeed. Tommy Robinson was arrested, tried, and sentenced with a Stalinist rapidity, for the crime of calling attention not only to the Muslim rape gang crisis in the UK, but to the abject failure of British officialdom to deal adequately with that crisis, for fear of being charged with “racism” and “Islamophobia.”
Thus it was only just to free Tommy Robinson, and lessens the impression that Britain is becoming a police state in which it is illegal to criticize Islam and mass Muslim migration in Britain today. Britain is still on that road, but apparently in this case the May government was feeling too much pressure to keep Tommy in prison.
However, no one should get the idea that Theresa May’s government has suddenly decided to behave decently toward foes of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, and others. Ezra Levant reported Thursday that “Tommy was physically and psychologically abused in prison. You can see it in his face. His appearance is shocking — he lost 40 pounds of weight in just two months. If he were to have stayed in prison much longer, I fear his very life would have been in danger.”
“I’m not a victim, I’m a target,” Robinson said in an interview with Levant, and the Mailonline reported that he said: “What they tried to do was to mentally destroy me. That wasn’t a prison sentence, that was mental torture.”
The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was unconscionable, and consistent with the British government’s determination to crush all resistance to its program of mass Muslim migration and capitulation to Sharia supremacists. The treatment of Tommy Robinson in prison was a demonstration of pure police state tactics.
Meanwhile, the establishment media defames him as “far-right” and as a “white nationalist.” Note the contempt and the vicious bias of the New York Times piece. This is Leftist propaganda disguised as a news story. Tommy is described as “anti-Muslim,” the universal label applied to those who oppose jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women, gays, etc. Was opposing the Nazis “anti-German”?
The Times also characterizes Robinson as a “far-right activist.” Anyone, no matter how socially liberal and how committed to the principles of secular, republican rule, is “far-right” for opposing jihad terror and Sharia oppression. There is no substance to the term other than to try to equate such opposition with Nazism.
The Times semaphores to its dwindling Leftist readership, if the point weren’t clear enough already, that Tommy is not to have their support, for he is supported by “former Trump aide Stephen K. Bannon but reviled by others who call him a violent purveyor of hate.” Who calls him a “violent purveyor of hate”? Hope Not Hate, a Leftist smear group akin to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Then there is the open libel that Robinson’s “divisive, anti-Muslim rhetoric has resulted in acts of violence,” he added, the most extreme of which occurred when a man, inspired by Mr. Robinson, rammed a van into a congregation of Muslims leaving a mosque in north London in January.”
In reality, there was no “inspiration” from Robinson, who never called for any attacks on mosques. The Times makes this connection based on a mass email that the perpetrator received, which itself did not call for or justify any violence. The Times rushes to connect Robinson to this incident, while it can never quite see the connection between Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” while killing people and the violent passages of the Qur’an.
And so Britain descends further into madness while the international media smears and defames one of its few remaining sane citizens. Will the free British people go quietly into the night?
Bill says
Did the NYT’s Sarah Jeong write the article? It is the height of hypocrisy for the NYT to smear anyone as racist while it proudly hires and defends a journalist who proclaim their anti-white, anti-male bigotry while advocating violence against police.
mortimer says
WHAT IS MADDEST is that CRITICISM OF POLITICAL ISLAM is NOT a crime in UK, but perfectly legal, but they are PUNISHING CRITICISM OF ISLAM ANYWAY.
THAT is TRULY ‘INSANE’.
mortimer says
Agree with Bill.
NYT is clearly discriminating on the basis of identity and then calling names when anyone disagrees.
NYT has become the organ of the authoritarian globalist 1% while cunningly playing the game of endorsing ‘diversity’. They do not endorse diversity of opinion, since they lead in calling for censorship, the sure sign of totalitarianism.
If they hate white men so consistently, white males will stop buying NYT and will boycott it.
For a paper that considers itself intellectual, there is almost NO ONE at NYT who has done the necessary reading AND study to understand political Islam. It is as if NYT considers a TOTAL VACUUM REGARDING ISLAM is a virtue in reporting on Islam.
Lydia Church says
Yup.
1. The ‘purveyors of hate’ are those who want to shut him up.
2. He is fighting for women and their human rights, so of course he must oppose all things muslim. And, the problem is??? I am 100% opposed to islam in every way as well!
3. There is nothing wrong with being ‘far right.’
4. For that matter, there is also nothing wrong with being a ‘white nationalist’! I am a nationalist, and I am white. That does not mean I don’t want any non whites around, that is another definition. Their semantical twistings never end.
5. In the process of persecuting Tommy, they are also paving the road for doing so to all who are like him. The smear campaign using words, so Orwellian in nature, the same propaganda as the nazi’s, is so obvious. All the buzz words like ‘islamophobia’ pave the way of the road to our persecution.
WPM says
The NYT proudly said Stalin was a great kind leader of Russia in the 1930s .That he would lead his people to peace and prosperity , as he kill millions of his people by starvation and deportation to the frozen wildness Now they are all aboard the Islamic booster train the NYT always ready to believe propaganda of the latest “in” ideology .
gravenimage says
Grimly true. That was largely the late unlamented Walter Duranty spouting that vicious apologia.
j_not_a says
I was just going to mention the NYT’s hiring of that disgusting racist piece of trash Jeong! That “paper” is absolutely revolting! and it comes as NO SUPRISE they would slam and slander Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. None at all! This rag needs to be shut down – by readers leaving it in droves.
Westman says
It appears that British Elite have sunk sufficiently low to use, without conscience, the machinery of government to literally kill anyone who draws attention to their obvious incompetence in dealing with Islam-related criminality.
The Elite Brits invented the term, “Working Class”, with the intention, since the beginning of Feudalism, of not being in it. From their perspective Robinson is of the working class and presents a serious challenge to the validity of the Aristocratic Class who are incompetently running the nation, unable to “Brexit”, and particularly failing in the sphere of immigration.
Robinson, if he can remain free, may become the “Boris Yeltsin” of Britain – which frightens the upper class so badly that they are willing to see his demise while running to their bowls, washing their hands, like Pontius Pilate.
mortimer says
Westman is ONTO SOMETHING here:
… the “British Elite have sunk sufficiently low to use, without conscience, the machinery of government to literally kill anyone who draws attention to their obvious incompetence in dealing with Islam-related criminality”.
Islamic CRIMINALITY STATISTICS, cousin marriages which produce congenital illnesses in great numbers, low IQs, and VIOLENT JIHADISM all PROVE that the political decisions leading to importing ISLAM into the UK was BONE-HEADED and OPPORTUNISTIC.
I assume that the CRIMINALITY of leading politicians includes their TAKING LARGE BRIBES from Arabian oil in exchange for relaxed or non-existent policies towards Islam.
Phil Copson says
“…Robinson, if he can remain free, may become the “Boris Yeltsin” of Britain …”

Do you mean Lech Walesa, leader of the Polish shipyard workers in Gdansk, who – if memory serves correctly – was an inspirational figure who led a popular revolt against the Soviet-stooge General Jaruzelski ? Am sure that GI would be delighted to fill in the details re Walesa.
Boris Yeltsin is now best remembered as Mikhail Gorbachev’s opponent, and for arriving on an official visit to the Irish Republic in ’94 so drunk that he couldn’t even get off the aeroplane – a fit soul-mate for the EU’s Jean-Claude Juncker (aka “Druncker”) who regularly appears drunk at EU functions – in one video even having to be held upright by other members of his Politburo.
Getting back to Tommy Robinson – he has in common with Lech Walesa that he is a skilled working-man – an aircraft engineer, I believe – and is instinctively more trusted by ordinary people than the articulate-but-amoral political classes who’ve never done anything useful in their lives.
gravenimage says
I think you are right, Phil.
gravenimage says
Actually, I can’t find the Yeltsin reference.
Westman says
This will help define Yeltsin: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-14589691
He is credited with saving democracy in Russia. Drunk or not the man was important to ending the cold war.
gravenimage says
Westman, I know who Yeltsin is. I meant I could not find the Yeltsin reference in the story above.
As for democracy in Russia, it may not be completely dead under Putin, but it is certainly on life support. Not Yeltsin’s fault, of course.
Westman says
Yes, I’ll agree that Walesa is a better example. And you’re spot on with Robinson, “instinctively more trusted by ordinary people than the articulate-but-amoral political classes who’ve never done anything useful in their lives.”
mortimer says
Leftarded Globalists desperately need the MUSLIM BLOC to ensure their election at the polls.
They are presenting Muslims as the misunderstood NOBLE SAVAGES who have a ‘different’ culture. Yeah!
Muslims have a BRONZE AGE CULTURE with the rape of married captives, slavery, cruel and barbaric practices, ethics based on discriminatory, supremacist double standards, misogyny, extreme patriarchy.
Leftarded Globalists desperately need the MUSLIM BLOC to distract from their DYSFUNCTIONAL GLOBALIST ideas.
Leftarded Globalists have no CONSISTENT DOCTRINE. All the issues they supported are contradicted by other issues. They boycott Israel for being a nation-state, but ENDORSE THE NATION-STATEHOOD of the Palestinian Arabs! They endorse feminism and women’s rights, but they ENDORSE Sharia INEQUALITY for Muslim women.
We could make a long list of the CONTRADICTIONS OF THE LEFTARDS.

The shameful NYT that also failed to report on the extermination of Jews and NAZI death camps during WW II. IOW they didn’t find it important to report the holocaust. They must be Facists themselves at the NYT.
The elites won’t risk an insurrection by making a Martyr of Tommy Robinson. Only reason he’s out IMHO.
Bill says
Even worse, they completely whitewashed and condoned Stalin’s genocide in Ukraine.
Understandable in some ways, since Uncle Joe was a rock ribbed Communist in the NYT’s most honored fashion. That is why the lefties at the NYT and the Democrats hate Putin. He is an unworthy successor to their beloved Communist political infrastructure in Russia. He is more like a run of the mill tyrant and warlord, not a pure and morally superior Communist tyrant and dictator.

Grimly true.
If Not Now When? says
The one problem with the British facing up to and fighting this cultural marxism is this: The UK has a serious cultural problem with alcoholism. You can’t fight back if you are drunk and/or hungover. The whole society is based around binge drinking – by the whole family. When I lived there, all the TV shows were based around going to the pub – the whole family with lines like” I am going to the pub to get properly pissed”.
When I last visited, there was vomit and blood on the streets in the morning, not once, buut every morning. When riding the tube on a Sunday morning, I sat across from a young woman, well dressed who looked like she had been rode hard and put up wet – she was green. She reached into her purse and pulled out a ziplock bag which she proceeded to vomit into. Women routinely have signs of cirrhosis of the liver by the time they are 27.
This binge drinking atmosphere/culture is hampering any movement to fight back.
Phil Copson says
Dear INNW – enjoyed reading your account of life in Britain – the revolting specimens you encountered and the garbage TV you watched are an embarrassment to us all – but I must advise JW readers that it bears no more relation to daily life than imagining that all Canadians are lumber-jacks, or that all Americans weigh 300 pounds minimum – presumably as a calorie-controlled defence-measure against being abducted by aliens ?
In short, Sir – you’re completely crackers – please keep it up…..
vlparker says
My dad was a lumberjack and he was okay. He slept all night and he worked all day.
gravenimage says
Uh huh. Perhaps If Not Now When? is hoping for a nice Shari’ah ban on drinking. Perhaps some flogging might to called for?
If Not Now When? says
Nope graven – I believe in personal responsibility – not more laws.
gravenimage says
I believe in personal responsibility, as well–and that likely begins here by condemning Jihad and the crushing of freedom of speech, rather than by smearing all native Britons as drunkards.
Notice, also, that this was a pretty anemic criticism of the horrors of Shari’ah law from If Not Now When?. Would he say the same thing about stoning women to death?
Westman says
Perhaps Big Ben will restore with an additional audio:
Allahu Akbar
God is Great(er)
(said four times)
Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah
I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.
(said two times)
Ashadu anna Muhammadan Rasool Allah
I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.
(said two times)
Hayya ‘ala-s-Salah
Hurry to the prayer (Rise up for prayer)
(said two times)
Hayya ‘ala-l-Falah
Hurry to success (Rise up for Salvation)
(said two times)
Allahu Akbar
God is Great
[said two times]
La ilaha illa Allah
There is no god except the One God
Some call to prayer: 13/15 supremist advertising for Allah and Muhammad and 2/15 call to prayer. No wonder they are unwilling to use cell phone apps that won’t loudly declare the supremacy of Allah and Muhammad to all the community, 5 times a day.

Robert Spencer: Tommy Robinson and Britain’s Ongoing Descent Into Madness
…………………..
Thanks to Robert Spencer for speaking out against this grotesque miscarriage of justice.
Rob Hay says
I am not so sure Tommy is the victim that he is being made out to be. I believe he is being used as means to shut down
Wider descent against the Muslim invaders.
gravenimage says
How are these two things mutually exclusive?
James Lincoln says
And I had the mistaken belief that only backward, Third World countries served out justice and treated prisoners in the way that Tommy Robinson was treated.
The current government of the UK is absolutely despicable!

Stacy Girl says
I still fear for Tommy and his family, praying for their constant safety. There seems to be far too many Brits whose disdain for him is inexplicable, to me anyway.

Grimly true, Stacy Girl.
Buraq says
Tommy Robinson’s videos and tweets reach millions more people than the NYT or the fascist-left “The Independent” publications do. They would cut their mothers’ throats with a rusty razor to have Tommy’s viewing figures and reach.
Tommy is a journalist they fear and hate! Clowns!
Rita says
While the torture of Tommy Robinson happened under the watch (on order?) of the MUSLIM State Secretary, installed by Theresa May, the banning from Britain of yet 2 other heroes of the Counter Jihad happened as that execrable May, daughter of clergy like her Stasi counterpart Merkel, was in charge as Secretary of State: her two targets-not-victims ?
Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.! And so, by not allowing our two islam critics to pay tribute to the islamically slain ENGLISH soldier, Lee Rigby, that despicable woman got “3 for the price of 1”.

Also the jailing of Jayda Fransen and Paul Golding.
vlparker says
I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again. The left in Europe and the US are just a small step away from going completely over the edge and committing mass murder to achieve their megalomaniacal goals. They are already complicit in the mass rape of young girls. They are totally and utterly depraved.
Walter Sieruk says
That awful treatment that the British patriot, Tommy Robinson received for speaking out the truth about dangerous and subversive powers of Islam in England and other Western nations is shameful. That Mr. Robinson was treated in such terrible ways and that recent British court ruling only prove the point that many zealous Muslims, by hook or by crook, are making gains in the West for Islam.
This is what is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
