The former head of UK counter terrorism policing is making demands via a direct competitor to self-generated social media.
He's made a number of demands:
-
The violence from the "far right" (not other groups) and "lies" (also speculation and rumours, never mind fake news and disinformation) spread on social media should constitute terrorism and be treated as such. Naturally they deadname Tommy Robinson, declare him the leader of far right terrorism and demands his arrest.
-
They want social media boycotts by advertisers, giving particular attention to Elon Musk's X (a.k.a. Twitter) in order to either shut them down or get them to tow the Government line (which will be impossible to do with user generated content). Also advocates for further laws regarding speech online, more on that imminently...
-
And he also wants the bar of criminality for "hateful extremism" to be lowered. So that a lot more speech that may be, for example, not complementary of the Government, to be criminalised.
So the UK is now in a death spiral where terrorism and extremism are being watered down and will apply to a lot more people in the future if the Government caves in to his demands. All at a time where they don't have the prisons to house so many more people who now are law abiding citizens, will soon unwittingly find themselves criminals.
ETA - In the last hour, the Justice Minister on the BBC has called for Elon Musk to face potential criminal action for his "civil war" post on X, deeming it "deplorable" and "inflammatory", which the UK law will deem incitement (as Blackbelt Barrister detailed in a YouTube video last night). Stating that laws apply online to websites accessible in the UK. If a UK police force requests his arrest, the second he comes to the UK, he'll be arrested.
Say what you will about Tommy Robinson because there are people trying to shit on him for being in Cyprus, like others he's got a family to think of and he has faced targeted state harassment multiple times and had his life put at risk as well as family being targeted including his children. For somebody as high profile like him at least making sure his family is out the country so they can't try anything is the smart thing to do.
As for the wider issue of the unrest and riots, this shit is not going away, I don't know how many people have checked on this. It's so bad now that in Belfast ( Northern Ireland ) the unionists ( Pro-UK ) and the nationalists ( IRA types ) are marching together against the government, yes that's actually a thing right now.
As a Brit I have never seen anything like this, they will definitely target social media in order to stop people from organising and communicating. However they don't realise that many people are making use of private servers and decentralised networks these days so being typical boomers they're completely behind. Work arounds to any kind of blocking attempts of websites if Elon tells them to fuck off which he likely will are going to be circumvented within five seconds thanks to autists.
If they had half a brain they would try to go out of their way to calm people down and at least negotiate, but you're correct OP, it does look like the WEF is going for a clamp down which is a big mistake. Just looking at it from their perspective, if I were working for these retards I would be going out of my way to warn the WEF not to do what they're doing but they really have no idea that they're playing with fire.
This is the key thing right now, as one of things I can see happening is the UK returning to 'The Troubles' only instead of it being focused on Irish territory claims, it will be about establishment backed racial issues and lead to bombings of government, illegal immigrant centers and even media institutions.
All of it well deserved.
Doesn't Robinson deserve criticism and suspicion for being at a posh resort in Cyprus when things in the UK finally pop off?
I didn't see any pictures of his family in the Daily Mail photos, just Robinson lounging alone.
So Robinson protests for years, then saves his own hide when his fellow countrymen finally wake up & have enough?
My only reservations about that criticism is it looks like Robinson fled the country just before the mass stabbing that set everything off. Claiming being out of the country for the riots is a tactical choice implies he had some advance knowledge of the attack and did nothing to stop it, which is 100x worse than just not backing up his talk and leading from the front.
Even if Robinson had no advance knowledge of the Southport stabbings & the ensuing unrest (which I don't think he did), wouldn't you cancel your holiday once you are confident that your family is safely outside the country & rush back to lead & participate in the race war you've been championing for years?
Instead of lounging around in the sun at a Cyprus 500$/night resort while your target audience gets stomped by zogbots & Muzzies?
Well, assuming I were in Tommy Robinson’z position and legitimate, I would expect that if I tried to return to the UK at this particular time through any sort of official channel, I would immediately be detained upon arrival. If he wants back in right now, he’ll have to arrange to be smuggled in.
I’m not saying that I don’t have my own doubts/complaints about Robinson, just that—devil’s advocate—it probably isn’t as simple as booking the next British Airways flight to Heathrow or whatever.
I'm just very mixed on it all and being an insufferable centrist, on the flip side yes I get that argument, at the same time though Tommy Robinson was constantly harassed for red pilling normies on muslim rape gangs and getting arrested by the police for protesting before it was cool.
I don't know if you saw this video from a few months back where Tommy was "arrested" in Canada.
The two dudes are Derek Harrison and Jeremy MacKenzie from Diagolon - two podcasters and meme terrorists who were blamed by Trudeau for requiring martial law to clear out the trucker protest.
The woman is Bethany Nodell?, an event organizer involved in Robinson's tour through Canada who lost her job due to this whistleblowing.
Ezra Levant is a secular Jew who owns Rebel News in Canada and backed Robinson's tour.
Bethany was at a Montreal dinner with Tommy at the start of his tour. They had dinner at a shady Indian restaurant. The restaurant owner offered Robinson drugs, which he partook in. He subsequently disappeared for hours on a rager, eventually turning up at a shady massage parlour.
Bethany reports that Robinson was disappointed that his tour wasn't selling enough tickets, something like less than 50 for some of his stops.
She also reported that he telegraphed his arrest by telling her that this would be his "last time in Canada" before getting apprehended in Alberta shortly thereafter on immigration offenses, canceling the rest of his tour.
The Diagolon boys have pretty good instincts. If they are unmasking him as a fraud and a Zionist pawn, then there’s likely fire there.
