I have mentioned "Tommy Robinson" here before - click here to see his address to the Oxford Union - excellent! He is the chap second from the left in the photo above. Now he has been arrested for inciting racial hatred against Muslims. Even though Islam is a religon and not a race. Even though the flag he made up doesn't mention Islam or Muslims but only ISIS. And as we are all told ad nauseum, ISIS has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam.
Somebody's confused.
Robinson's barrister notes:~
"The mainstay of the application by Bedfordshire Police is that Tommy Robinson, while in France was pictured wearing an Anti ISIS T Shirt, and holding up an English Saint George Cross flag with ‘F*** ISIS’ written across it, and that this was aimed at inciting racial hatred against Muslims. Both I and my client are very concerned that the Chief Constable of Bedfordshire Police and the UK Football Policing Unit have equated Tommy Robinson’s demonstration against a banned extremist terrorist organisation as being the same as showing hatred towards people of the Muslim faith. The Prime Minister David Cameron in his House of Commons speech on 2nd December 2015 referred to the ‘Evil’ of ISIS, and that British Muslims were appalled by ISIS. He further said that the attacks in Syria by the British Military were “far from an attack on Islam, we are engaging in the defence of Islam… failing to act would betray British Muslims”. It now appears that both Bedfordshire Police and the UK Football Policing Unit are linking ISIS to the general Muslim people and population, because it suits their purpose of the campaign of harassment against Tommy Robinson."
Gates of Vienna has the full article on this matter, which I encourage all to read. It's not fun when you're own government decides you're an enemy.
