We've reported on Tommy Robinson in the past. The media calls him 'far-Right', but he's a British journalist and conservative activist who -- rightly -- has an issue with mass immigration. In June, he was arrested in Canada for giving a speech.
Today, he was arrested in the UK for holding a peaceful rally. Arrested for TERRORISM.
British journalist Tommy Robinson held a peaceful protest yesterday against mass immigration.

This comes days after actual riots in Leeds by the immigrant community. We're gonna guess no one there was arrested for terrorism.
What did he do that was considered terrorism?

The answer will (and won't, if you've been paying attention) surprise you:

Get down on your knees and thank whatever deity you believe in for the First Amendment.
This is despicable what they’ve done to the UK, and if Americans don’t stop voting for liberal sh*t stains it’s going to be here soon..

It's a warning we should all heed.
This is tyranny.

It sure is.
Get back out in the streets, in larger numbers!

They can't arrest everyone.
Imagine living in a nation that arrests you for terrorism for protesting terrorism.

Everything seems so upside down.
They want fearful submission by making examples out of people who would dare speak up.
— Planet Of Memes (@PlanetOfMemes) July 28, 2024
They sure do.
They are trying to destroy dissenting voices. Today it’s the UK tomorrow it will be America. Let this be a warning https://t.co/mst8CfUZGA

And take this warning very seriously.
How, exactly, can they charge Robinson with terrorism? Well:
1. Why would Tommy Robinson be detained under the Terrorism Act? He's not a terrorist and has never been accused of being one.

The answer is the powers granted to police under Schedule 7 of that law: you do not have the right to remain silent under it: https://t.co/XNKD420ZRE https://t.co/0vW90UEkDX
Also give thanks for Miranda rights and the Fifth Amendment.
2. Click the link to read it for yourself -- it's a long document: https://t.co/XNKD420ZRE Here's a screenshot of a key passage. If you're arrested under the law, you cannot remain silent. You must hand over anything (without a search warrant). pic.twitter.com/GD9HCvV8tO

Wow.
3. You do have a right to consult a lawyer. But police can delay your right to consult one.

This is an astonishing law, designed for extremely rare instances where, for example, a terrorist knows about a ticking bomb that's about to go off.
They're using it illegally on Tommy. pic.twitter.com/OzRrSAss1x
Government abusing a law to punish political dissent.
Sounds familiar, no?
Read Ezra's entire thread.
Really, really scary stuff.
