Tommy Robinson speech: "The British Police State"

This is not dissent. It's bigotry wearing a mask of dissent

My point is next time it might be dissent.

And as I've already said it doesn't matter if all he's said is true. If only a small percentage is true then we should all be concerned about where our country is headed.

I'm not going to try and prove him right or you wrong. I really have better things to do than trawl through articles about the EDL.

However it only took a few seconds to back up the claim he made about being in solitary confinement and that was one of the more worrying claims as thats basically torture.

I've seen enough articles on the anti terror legislation being used to spy on dog walkers, enough articles on shady tactics being used against environmentalist groups to give TR the benefit of the doubt and accept that at least some of what he is saying is true.

Either you are allowing your views on TR to cloud your view on the bigger picture or I am doing a poor job explaining why the allegations he has made against the police trouble me.
