The Speaker
Something’s rotten in the state of Britain… As mid-March is
seeing sub-zero temperatures and snow storms, a Russian despot indiscriminately
committing murder on our shores, South Asian Muslim gangs systematically raping
hundreds of young, white girls without much media attention, a socialist opposition
leader making strides to becoming our next Prime Minister, and young
journalists are detained at our borders under terrorist acts for the crime of
not aligning with Leftist hegemony while Islamic preachers too radical to give
sermons even in Pakistan are welcomed with open arms, one is forced to confront
the question: What the hell is happening?
The case of Lauren Southern, Martin Sellner and Brittany
Pettibone marks a turning point for us as a nation. If you are not familiar
with the details, please take a moment to read up on the events that lead to
three journalists being detained by the border police, when trying to enter the
UK.
To my knowledge, this is the first time British law
enforcement has refused members of the press entry to our country under the
suspicion of thought crime. Lauren Southern, the 22-year-old Canadian
conservative, was stopped and detained by British police for the crime of
handing out flyers in Luton with the caption “Allah is Gay” in February. Even
discarding the fact that this was during a staged social experiment, where
Southern and her team posed as radical Leftists who were promoting LGBTQ rights,
and assuming the most insidious motives to them (that they intentionally
insulted Islam’s deity), the justification for detainment and refusal of entry
to the UK remains preposterous. The outrageous absurdity is further exalted when
one finds out that Southern was detained and interrogated for suspicion of terrorist activities!
As the Kafkaesque politics of this Great Britain reached its
peak, Tommy Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League, took it
upon himself to speak about these issues when the mainstream media remained
silent. On his Twitter account, Robinson announced that on the 18th
of March, he will be reading the speech Martin Sellner was due to give in
Speaker’s Corner. One could reasonably assume that, had Sellner himself been
allowed to give the speech, the attendance would’ve been in the dozens. However,
thanks to the actions of the British state, over 1, 000 people attended
Robinson’s talk in Hyde Park.
Observing the crowd, the devotion to the man from Luton was
striking. Chants of his name were being sung forty minutes before his arrival,
and as he took centre stage, one middle aged gentleman next to me exclaimed “He’s
real! He’s not a figment of my imagination, he’s actually real!”
Although the lead up to the speech was slightly marred by
couple of clashes, between Islamists and Robinson sympathisers, as well as few
of Tommy’s fans attacking a communist speaker who hurled insults at the former
EDL leader, things did go rather smoothly once Tommy started speaking. But that didn't stop the media from portraying the event as a “Far right march”, despite there being
people of all backgrounds, stripes, and social status in attendance. This was
not a far right or far left issue – most people who came did so out of
exasperation with the eradication of British values to appease a single minority
in the society. There is one question in particular on people’s minds:
Why are Islamic blasphemy laws being enforced in the UK?
The ramifications of such policy may not be apparent to the
naked eye – after all, social media is awash with criticism, ridicule, and
contempt for Islam. But when one starts to look at why thousands of young,
often prepubescent and mostly white girls in the UK are being gang raped by exclusively
Muslim men from Pakistan and Bangladesh without it garnering anywhere near the
media attention as that of the latest celebrity breakup, or why journalists are
refused entry to the country for having been critical of Islam, the average
British person will start to wonder what is happening to her country.
When she sees the failure of the law enforcement, of social
care workers, of politicians and of education professionals to act when 11 year
old girls are being raped, yet at the same time, resources being invested in
keeping journalists out of the country, both for the same motive (not to hurt the
feelings of Muslims), she realises that her country is becoming unrecognisable
to herself, and it’s eradicating all the principles for which it once stood.
Less than three weeks ago, leaders of Britain First, Paul
Golding and Jayda Fransen, were imprisoned for 18 and 36 weeks respectively, for
“religiously aggravated harassment”, having been arrested for distribution of
leaflets and posting online videos during a gang-rape trial.
Although the actions of Golding and Fransen were despicable
and their sentences fair, the British justice system refuses to acknowledge
that groups like Britain First are reactionary movements to a far bigger
problem that is being ignored by every major institution in the land. It is in
this vacuum that Tommy Robinson emerges, asking how we are giving up that most
sacred of values, Freedom of Speech, to appease a minority within a minority,
for the fear of being called racists and bigots.
Tommy Robinson has become the spokesperson for this group of
people who still believe in the principles which made Britain an enlightened
country, while media and The Left spew lies and hurl abuses on anyone who dares
deviate, however slightly, from the Leftist ideals of multiculturalism and
diversity.
Britons are now sick and tired of being called racists, bigots,
“islamophobes” or fascists for refusing to compromise on values such as Freedom
of Speech and Freedom of Expression. Britons are sick and tired of seeing their
principles eroded to accommodate anti-democratic dogmas, in the name of multi-culturalism
and fear of giving offence. Britons are sick and tired of seeing their young
girls raped, abused and murdered without the legal system doing anything about it.
It is those Britons who stood up at Speaker’s Corner on Saturday
18th of March, 2018, and expressed their allegiance to a man who has
been called every derogatory and pejorative label under the sun, without any of
it being true. Britons are now seeing through the lies and baseless accusations
of xenophobia, and aligning themselves with a man who has demonstrated that threats of such labels won’t prevent him from speaking his mind.
Tommy Robinson did not rise from the ashes of racism. He did
not come to prominence for hatred of Muslims. He was created by the vacuum left
behind by a cowardice media, an incompetent law enforcement and a dictatorial
Leftist narrative that labels anyone deviating from it as bigots. His rise is because
he speaks what many others think. For many, he is the sole voice of the
forgotten class – the class which still holds dear the values of these islands.
For them, he is the speaker when their own voices have been muted, whether through
self-imposed censorship or leftist threats of name-calling.
Tommy Robinson is the creation of those who abandoned
British values and thought they can get away with it. Of those who devalued
terms like “racist” and “fascist” to the point of meaningless, by labelling
every ideological opponent as such. He speaks for those who are told that they
can’t speak their thoughts. He will only be strengthened, and his followers
will grow in number, if those in power continue to eradicate the values that once
made Britain a great country. If they keep preventing journalists from entering
the country, if they keep banning people from speaking, if they keep hiding
their heads in the sand instead of dealing with systemic gang rape of children,
if they keep calling everyone who disagrees with them “fascists” and “racists”,
then we will continue to listen. And Tommy will continue to speak.
