First
they came for the communists and I did not speak out because I was
not a communist.
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.
Finally,
they came for me and there was no one left to speak out.

Activist
Lauren Southern held by Article 7 of Terrorist Act without suspicion
of terrorist activity – 'blasphemy' and 'racism'
This came out of examining the case of Tommy Robinson's arrest in Leeds yesterday for livestreaming on his phone on the proceedings of a major pedophile grooming trial in Leeds.
Just a couple of months ago right-wing activist,Lauren Southern was held at the UK border under the provisions of the Terrorist Act. She was questioned on her religious and other beliefs and even what she thought of people driving a car into groups of Muslims (sic). She was threatened with dire consequences if she didn't co-operate with the authorities even though in a late-night telephone call to her father the police said they did not have any suspicion of terrorist activity.
Turns out it was all related to a previous occasion where she conducted a social experiment to see how people would react to a "Mohammed is gay" compared to a "Jesus was gay" (which was perfectly alright).
So, it turns out that Lauren was held under the Terrorist Act for a social experiment (for "blasphemy " against Muslims) and for her views and for non-violent activism.
The only other prominent example (until recently) of a foreigner was that of Glenn Greenwald's partner David Miranda being held under the same provisions.
As an example of egregious double-standard Tommy Robinson cites the case of a Pakistani cleric, banned for violent hate speech in his native Pakistan, being welcomed into Britain for a lecture tour. I was slightly dubious of this until I found several articles on exactly this.
So, in Britain's "war on Terror" actual practitioners of real hate speech are given the green light while non-violent activists that have a viewpoint that goes in the face of the dominant Liberal ("Centrist") ideology are banned, held under the Terrror Act or, in Tommy Robinson's case, put away in prison with the very Muslim gangs he has been protesting against.
From my own personal perspective I doubt that I would want to sit at the same dinner table as either Lauren or Tommy but that does not matter. They are shining the light on some very dark areas of British life that the mainstream is trying to suppress, which I think is praiseworthy. But even if they were filthy, rotten liars (which they are not) they still don't deserve to be held under the Terrorist Act, still less be sent to jail.
But that is not the position of what I have seen called the Extreme Centre, the liberals, who use labels like 'far-right', 'alt-right' 'white supremacist', 'fascist' - innuendo - to describe people they don't like as code to tell us that we should rejoice when the State takes away their liberties.
I certainly can't fault Katie Hopkins when she describes yesterday's events (in a parallel to Pastor Niemoeller's dire warning) in this way:
"Tommy
warned us about these rape gangs.
You
laughed and called him a racist
Tommy
will die in prison at the hands of these gangs.
You
will laugh and say it served him right"
Then
you will remember YOU have a daughter"
I used to know what "Left' and "Right" stood for but I am not sure any more. It seems to me that in a concern for the downtrodden and their livelihood, an opposition to laisez-faire or any form of capitalism as well as in an acknowledgement of climate change I am firmly on the "Left" while in a concern for ethics and morality and a keen awareness of what I call liberal fascism with its duplicitous support of Muslims (not wanting to upset their sensibilities while having no problem in bombing them and killing them in their thousands) I am firmly on the "Right".
I have no doubt (and in fact I know it) that the liberal fascists would use any, or all the above labels t describe me ("white supremacist", "far right" etc....).
I rather suspect that you are "Right" if you are concerned with things like large gangs of Muslim rapists and pedophiles and "Left" if you insist on political correctness and multiculturalism, all the while denying the real nature of the situation - at most these people are "Asians", never "Muslims", implying that there may be gangs of rapists and pedophiles from Singapore and Japan running rampant,
I prefer to avoid labels or even ideology of any sort and to base my views on a rational and balanced analysis and on values.
Now listen to Lauren Southern and Tommy Robinson in conversation.
Lauren Southern Detained, Banned From Entering U.K. For 'Racism'
Southern
made the claim via a series of tweets on Monday morning. The activist
says she was on a bus traveling to England Sunday night in order to
appear at a free speech event. Border police, however, stopped her
from entering the country, citing "racism" as their
rationale for blocking her entry into the country:
Investigated me under schedule 7 (terrorism act) because of alleged racism. At least they let me identify as Pakistani on my report lol. Still being held by police.
They just locked me out and said "au revoir"... Officially banned from UK for "racism".. doing fine though, all the cool people are being banned anyway 
Need to gather my thoughts and call family. Interrogation story is pretty crazy though. Will tell it soon.

Reporter
Chris Tomlinson, who has been tracking the story, provided a few more
details:
Another message from @Lauren_Southern . She's being held in Calais, asked about her relationship to @BrittPettibone and a recent speech she gave for @vbjongeren the youth movement of @vlbelang . Now her phone has been taken away. No word on when she will be released.
Among
the reasons she was detained is "distribution of racist material
in Luton." Here's a copy of the letter to Southern from British
authorities concluding that she presents a "threat to the
fundamental interests of society and to the public policy of the
United Kingdom":
Dear @AmberRuddHR - you have detained @Lauren_Southern in Calais and prevented her entering the U.K. She is a Christian Conservative. You have sided with Islamists of Luton. You need to make better decisions ma’am.
Southern
was traveling to the U.K. after producing a documentary about racial
tensions in South Africa reaching a "boiling point,"
escalated by a government that has increasingly embraced racially
discriminatory policies, including the confiscation of white-owned
farmland. Southern posted the trailer for the documentary soon after
she was released by authorities:
Southern's
banning follows a similar situation with Austrian right-wing
"Identitarian" activist Martin Sellner and journalist
Brittany Pettibone, who were both detained a few days before at
London Heathrow and ultimately blocked from entering the country for
similar charges. Southern recently sat down with Pettibone for an
interview on her South Africa documentary, in which she presents her
rationale for undertaking the project.
The
BBC provides some more details on the U.K.'s controversial Schedule 7
anti-terrorism law (formatting adjusted):
Under
the schedule, UK police can stop, examine and search passengers at
ports, airports and international rail terminals. Unlike with some
other police powers to stop and search, there is no requirement for
an officer to have a "reasonable suspicion" that someone is
involved with terrorism before they are stopped.
A
passenger can be held for questioning for up to nine hours and those
detained must "give the examining officer any information in his
possession which the officer requests". Any property seized must
be returned after seven days, but data from mobile phones and laptops
may be downloaded and retained by the police for longer.
Those
detained are compelled to answer questions from the police and must
not "obstruct" or "frustrate" any police
searches. If someone fails to co-operate they are deemed to have
committed a criminal offence and could face up to three months in
prison, a fine or both.
David Miranda row: What is schedule 7?
While inconvenient people are held at the border under the terror Act or put away jail real practitioners of hate speech are given the green light.
Is it any wonder that people get angry, even violently angry?
Muslim cleric banned in Pakistan attempts preaching tour of Britain
A
controversial Muslim cleric who has been banned from practicing in
Pakistan for allegedly celebrating the murder of a popular politician
is touring UK mosques.
Syed
Muzaffar Shah Qadri, who has been dubbed a “firebrand” by
Pakistani authorities, is due to speak at a number of British mosques
in a series of heavily promoted events, despite being prohibited from
speaking in his own country.
In
Pakistan’s Karachi, he has been labeled “prejudicial to public
safety and maintenance of public order.” He was banned from
addressing crowds in October, according to a legal document obtained
by Scotland’s Sunday Post.
Qadri’s
UK visit has sparked concern from religious experts and politicians
who fear the tour will cause divisions within the Muslim community.....
This is the official position. Instead, the British State turns everything on its head and uses its considerable power to go after social critics.
LONDON
(Reuters) - Britain faces a new and significant threat from organized
far-right terrorism, the UK’s most senior counter-terrorism officer
said on Monday as he revealed police had foiled four plots by
right-wing extremists in the last year.
“The
right-wing terrorist threat is more significant and more challenging
than perhaps public debate gives it credit for,” Mark Rowley,
London’s Assistant Commissioner, told reporters.
Britain
has been a prime target for homegrown and foreign Islamist militants
since the 2001 attacks on the United States. But Rowley said until
the last two years, far-right activity was limited to unpleasant
protests and hate crimes, with serious incidents limited to the
actions of isolated individuals.
The
MI5 domestic spy agency are now involved in investigating the
far-right and he warned that British groups were seeking links with
international extremists.
“It’s
a significant part of the terrorist threat. Right-wing terrorism
wasn’t previously organised here,” Rowley said.
“There
are many Western countries that have extreme right-wing challenges
and in quite a number of those the groups we are worried about here
are making connections with them and networking,” he said,
declining to give further details because it was a new, live
intelligence phenomenon.
Last
year, there were five deadly militants attacks in Britain including
one carried out by a man who drove a van into worshippers leaving a
London mosque after developing a hatred of Muslims by reading extreme
right-wing material online.
The
previous year, a Nazi-obsessed loner murdered lawmaker Jo Cox in a
frenzied street attack a week before the referendum on the European
Union. Since then, Britain has banned National Action and two other
spin-off groups, the first extremist right-wing organizations to be
outlawed since the 1940s....
This is the reality that the liberal Establishment would like to keep silent about.

The British government’s so-called anti-radicalization scheme has now become a mainstay in schools across the UK. Despite having full backing from the government, human rights experts have criticized the program as counterproductive and an obstacle to the freedom of expression in schools. Our correspondent Mohamed Walji has spoken to one of the many families who have been affected by the controversial scheme.
In fact, if you insist on the truth (as described below) you become a danger to the 'security of the Real'
Up
to 1,000 children could have suffered in Britain’s worst known
abuse scandal - where sex gangs targeted girls as young as 11.
The
rape hell of vulnerable young girls in one town - Telford - went on
for a shocking 40 years, the Sunday Mirror can reveal.
As
many as 1,000 children could have suffered at the merciless hands of
perverts and torturers in Telford since the 1980s.
Girls
as young as 11 have been lured from their families to be drugged,
beaten and raped in an epidemic that, say victims, is still ongoing.
THREE
people were murdered and two others died in tragedies linked to the
scandal.....
The BBC’s shameful silence on the Telford sex scandal
