UK MEP says Tommy Robinson arrest “politically motivated” amid massive protest in London over his arrest, by Robert Spencer.

This case is much bigger than Tommy Robinson. Whatever one may think of him and his work, style, or approach, he is being harassed and persecuted by the British government for calling attention to the activity of Muslim rape gangs, which British authorities have done everything they could to cover up, and to jihad violence and Sharia oppression in general.

Yes, he was arrested for violating the terms of his probation by filming outside a courthouse where a Muslim rape gang was being tried, but the prohibition on him doing that was wrong in the first place.

Clearly he was arrested, rather than simply given a warning as Janice Atkinson says in this video, because of who he is and what he does: his arrest was of a piece with the government’s desire to keep people ignorant and complacent regarding Muslim rape gangs and the high cost of mass Muslim migration.

Totalitarian government in the UK, here we come. Why? To protect from criticism those who have made about the most grievous mistake in British history.

Recap: “Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser,” by Tom Whitehead in 2009:

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its “core working class vote”. …

Inviting into your country millions of adherents of a totalitarian ideology forever stuck in seventh century Arabia, from the backwoods of Pakistan, then allowing them to ravage your country’s young women unchecked for decades, is … poor public policy. Who is responsible? Why isn’t the media all over this? Why are people who try to talk about this (such as the political party set up directly in response to the rapes, the BNP) systematically shut up and smeared by the establishment? Isn’t this the biggest scandal in the British Isles, ever?
