Tommy Robinson once again Arrested – the English Police in a Renewed Authoritarian Clampdown

Once again, the English police behaves like the STASI of former East Germany

Yesterday, Saturday March 9, 2024, Tommy Robinson was walking with his daughter and her friends to celebrate her birthday. This was used by the English police as an opportunity to – once again – arrest him. Robinson behaved peacefully and dignified and had done nothing contrary to the law as he was forcefully dragged away by the English police. This amounts to a rough and authoritarian assault on the freedom of assembly as well as his personal freedom. Once again – one loose count – the English police treats Tommy Robinson as STASI did the population of DDR – or like corrupt forces of law and order do in authoritarian governments like e.g. Russia – normally criticized by the English government for assaults on rights of freedom.


Last November 2023 Robinson was arrested, because he as a journalist was on the street in London covering a demonstration against antisemitism. He was then pepper-sprayed in the face by the police and dragged away by force – for no fair reason. This behavior of the police was afterwards sanctioned by a judge, ordering Robinson henceforward not to be present in London. Presumably Robinson was not willing to respect a decision by a political and corrupt English juridical system taking unreasonable measures against his personal freedom to travel to London – which is probably the pretext for this latest STASI-action against Robinson by a rotten English system of men-in-power. 


We are in the Free Press Society closely following Robinson’s case as well as the treatment he receives from the English authorities.


And it is only from the Free Press Society (and certainly not from the state sponsored media) that You will get trustworthy and qualified information on Tommy Robinson and his cases.
