MEPs [Members of European Parliament] want the UK Government to release ‘political prisoner’ Tommy Robinson immediately
1June 2018
The leaders of the Europe of Nations and Freedom group, held a press conference on the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson on 30 May. The MEPs call on the UK Government to release Tommy Robinson immediately. Janice Atkinson, an independent UK MEP and Marcel De Graaff, Dutch MEP for the Party for Freedom, didn’t mince words when stating that the current state of Britain resembles a police state more than the bastion of free speech we were in times gone by. “It’s a pity that the Government, police, judiciary and local authorities didn’t act with such eagerness and speed for the girls who were systematically sexually abused for over 20 years by Muslim grooming gangs, as they did with Tommy Robinson,” Ms. Atkinson says. She continues: “Since 1997, with Blair’s Human Rights Act, the introduction of hate crime laws, slowly we have sleep walked into a near totalitarian state. It’s a lie that the public just don’t buy any more. From the working classes, to millennials, to those of colour, Sikh, Hindu, Christian or other, or of no faith. We support Tommy and demand his release. We have to for our children’s sake.”
During the press conference, Mr. De Graaff stated most emphatically that, “Hate speech is the new legal instrument to silence unwanted opinion, to cover up crimes, to silence political opposition. The so-called legal warfare of jihad. Contempt of court has yet become another instrument in the toolset to silence the free press and free speech, to cover up horrendous crimes and the complicity of local and national authorities.” He goes on to describe the extreme measures the government has gone to in order to shield from the general public the many crimes against women and children, mutilation and rapes of non-Muslim women, in order to hide the true nature of Islam. “Do you really think that this case of Tommy Robinson is about contempt of court? It is about keeping this information away from the general public.” “The establishment is silencing the voices of those who unveil the truth. Kevin Crehan left a bacon sandwich outside a mosque. The court sentenced him to a year in prison, because this was considered as an act of terror. He was found dead within five months.” De Graaff said. Both MEPs called for the immediate release of Tommy Robinson, for his safety and protection. So far, the UK government has not moved to do any such thing, despite the protests and the more than 560,000 signatures on a petition to release Tommy. In fact, yesterday, they have cancelled, without explanation, his family’s visit to the prison to confirm his safety.
