Guest Post by Joshua Winston
I remember cycling through the streets of South London on that blood-soaked day five years ago when Lee Rigby was killed. Riot vans screamed and hurtled past me. I’d no idea what was going on. It wasn’t until I got home that I saw there was an attempt at a beheading on the streets of South London, which explained the riot vans. I was traumatized, along with any other normal and sane human being who watched the murder unfold. The raised and bloodied hands of the devout Muslim who tried to behead Lee. The knife. The interview he gave.

I watched the news very closely in the ensuing days and shook my head with disbelief at the falsehoods that were being spread by the media and other Muslims. They were saying things like, “The killers were not true Muslims,” and that the killers’ motivations were a “misinterpretation of a beautiful religion.” All of this nonsense spouted by media and politicians alike. It was as though they were reading off a script. Lee’s killers had been mobile in Woolwich and their associates were still on the streets. Questions had to be answered, and there were more jihadists to be rounded up. I expected people to demand answers and not rest until we had them, but instead there was some graffiti sprayed here, some name-calling occurring there, and life carried on as usual.
I never expected to see the likes of it again, not on a UK street in broad daylight, but we’ve had less public beheadings in London since then, as well as car jihads and random, multiple stabbings. After each Islamic terrorist atrocity, I keep wondering, WHAT will tip the scales? We are becoming inured to terrorism and bloodshed. Terror attacks are as normal an event as a clock ticking in the UK today. And after each one, we have the moronic lefties spouting utter nonsense such as, “We Londoners will carry on as normal.” Well, of course we will. What else can we do? We aren’t all going to carry out a mass exodus of the city or lock ourselves indoors. But how about the illogical left start thinking of ways to thwart jihadists and extremists, instead of stepping aside and letting them carry on with their barbaric ways?
What will make the people rise up out of their armchairs and realise that hashtags and candles and politicians aren’t fixing the problem? I was still wondering what the tipping point would be until Saturday, 26th May, 2018, when I went to a Free Tommy rally outside of 10 Downing Street. Tommy Robinson is the answer to my question. Tommy Robinson’s well-being will be the tipping point in the UK for authorities, police and politicians, and if they’re smart they’ll take notice of this. The energy and the passion at Downing Street and the anger was palpable at the doorstep of our current MP’s offices. There was a line-up of about 5 right-leaning MPs and others lined up to address the crowd and put forward their own opinions and inform and motivate us. But the crowd was not in a mood to listen, not even to people who are on our side. The consensus seemed to be that enough talking had been done. It was now time for action, and we had all the motivation that we needed – Tommy’s well-being – and we wanted the parliamentarians to be sure they heard us, so we shouted as loud as we could.
After the first man addressed the crowd, we surged forward to the black iron gates of Number 10, which are manned by police with machine guns. A couple of men tried to scale the fence, and I feared they would get shot. One of them opened a bottle of beer and sprayed it over the policemen and threw the bottle at one of them. It was clear the armed cops had orders to stand down, or at least put up with a certain amount of violence from us. We blocked the roads, stopped the traffic, and we chanted for about four hours. A thousand and more of us with less than 24 hours’ notice. Imagine what we will accomplish with a week’s notice and an action plan. It’s time for the authorities to take note. If Tommy Robinson isn’t released from prison and allowed to go about his business and enjoy the same protection and human rights and dignity as Anjem Choudary was afforded, then the authorities need to realise that Tommy represents We the People, and We the People have had enough.
If the government were at all smart and strategic, they would hire Tommy Robinson as an adviser on terrorism. He has consistently identified extremists, because he grew up among them in Luton. He has consistently told us the names of the mosques that are churning out radicals, as well as naming the imams. He has been right time after time, and instead of hiring Tommy (whose information could contribute to keeping us all safe), our government bent down to the MCB and MEND, both of whom have ties to extremists. All of this is okay with our government, because these Muslim organisations bring with them the Muslim voting bloc, and so the parliamentary doors are flung wide open to them at the same time that our liberties get thrown out the window. Or else the government is too busy monitoring extremists, keeping a supposed eye on them while they gather intel rather than locking them up. It serves you well to remember that Lee Rigby’s killer was under observation, as were the London Bridge attackers. No more monitoring – lock them up where they can’t radicalize anyone else, and where they can’t commit acts of carnage.
The treatment of Tommy Robinson will be the tipping point for the people of the UK. If the government are smart, they’ll realize this. We the People, have had enough. No more listening to lies and excuses. It’s time to do right by Tommy, and time to do right by us.
I sure hope this is the tipping point – but I don’t think so.
I agree. Tommy Robinson has been demonised and branded as a fascist. I suspect most people, especially ‘leftists’ simply will not care about Tommy’s plight.
I don’t know what the tipping point for Britishers is going to be. If the suicide-bomb slaughter of teenagers attending a concert didn’t tip them over the edge, then what will?
The Cucks in Charge need to have the fear of god from the protestors. When they think the protestors might actually burn shit down and start populating lampposts, then things will change.
I was taught in elementary school that fire is your friend.
Despite the protestors wanting him freed, Tommy pleaded guilty to contempt of court. Judge said he may have caused an expensive retrial of the men accused that were on trial in Leeds. Outcome may be no justice for the victims. At least for now. Reporting ban lifted.

He was up in front of the Judge from the trial in Leeds as he was in contempt of that Judge’s Court.
@Rossa: Complete bullshit – here’s and excerpt from the link you posted:
But Judge Geoffrey Marson QC said: ‘No one could possibly conclude that it would be anything other than highly prejudicial to the defendants in the trial. I respect everyone’s right to free speech. That’s one of the most important rights that we have.
‘With those rights come responsibilities. The responsibility to exercise that freedom of speech within the law. I am not sure you appreciate the potential consequence of what you have done.
I bolded the bullshit part – he’s not yelling fire in a crowed theater – he’s posting his opinion on YouTube.
Rossa: What would your reaction be if I were a judge and told you that if you made your post (above) that I will hold you in contempt and grab you off the street and throw you in prison surrounded by criminals from an alien culture who hate you specifically? Probably wtf is going on and am I down the rabbit hole?
How do you know he pled guilty – from some fucking article (one the few that is being allowed to publish on the matter)? Do you have a copy of a transcript or a recording from the Kafkaesque “trial”? Do you usually have trials in the middle of the night in the UK with the convicted whisked off to prison within mere hours? Did he have legal counsel? Was he able to face his accusers, call witnesses? What a fucking joke. The UK isn’t trying to silence him for fear he might queer the trials of those animals. They’re trying to silence him because he’s embarrassing the cucks who run the UK by bringing the animals’ behavior to light.
His “solicitor” was informed by the court there would be no hearing at that time, except there was, sticking him with a public defender and off to jail he went.
Well ,my tipping point was almost reach this morning as a road rage incident almost turned deadly.
That being said the English white people will do nothing at this point but piss to themselves in the silence of their own hearts . It’s sad but that’s just the facts.
BB, at least a thousand turned out at Downing Street and the next one which will be organized could light off a civil war. Won’t the elites shit themselves when the Muzzies pour out of the mosques with AK’s?
If he has a go-fund-me account, I would be tempted to contribute. He fought the law and the law wins. As one who has 5 months to go on a ten year probationary period, and an order not to profit from details of my crime, I walk on eggshells as he should have.
……we have been trained to allow our governments to deal with barbaric behavior from islamist….we expect that justice will be swift, just, and final….it doesn’t, it lingers on…we grow complacent….we forget and move on, after-all there’s bills to be payed……..it repeats itself, again and again…..and then…..it hits us personally, it’s our daughter raped, it is our son murdered…..now it grabs our attention at the core of our being……..we want justice……we want retribution for our loss, our grieving, our f**king pain……and we scream: WILL SOMEBODY HELP ME GET JUSTICE….and the masses are quiet, the government is quiet….we linger in silent suffering………until we re-figure it out…..it is our history and system of justice they want us to forget…….

I echo others here. This is no tipping point. Nothing will happen to change the trajectory of the UK. It’s a surveillance state (as we’re becoming) where saying the wrong thing can land you in jail/prison. Ask our Holly O. The difference between that and North Korea is only one of degree.
The difference is one of geography and not degree.
The problem is not that the uk is a police state. The problem is that the police enforce sharia. The uk is a muslim state. They have been bought lock stock and barrel. Now everyone from the queen and her cuck offspring to the dyke prime minister and the paki home secretary down to the lowest street sweeper will have to bow five times to mecca and beat their wives. Not their wife, they will be required to have four and all will need to be beaten properly to comply with sharia. I am sure that the british wyman will all feel much better after a good beating and we all know that they look better with a bag over their head. It’s a win win.
“Page 3” will look a lot different when they have pictures of sheep and goats instead of naked women.
at some point people do come to the realization that if something happens to one, it can happen to any. Over the past year or so article after article on blogs have shown those speaking an opinion jailed in the UK … by now folks know they are tracked online and probably in many other ways. Folks saw the contempt the “judge” had for Tommy when he was arrested. This isnt judicial, its personal. The facade of the system is crumbling, even for those that would just rather get along and go along. One the crowd moves in a direction, the meme takes hold in a “mass psychology” kind of way that is entirely different from individual thought. Though this has taken time to occur, it finally has occurred and there is seldom the ability to reverse this tide without mass reformation of the root cause. There has been plenty of study and documentation into this exact thing and all would suggest that this is the snowball rolling down hill.
The whole Tommy R debacle was the first news story in my life that made me break into a true nervous sweat. I likewise doubt that this will be a tipping point for the UK…too far gone now. But if Americans don’t stand up, in a few years we’ll be right there with the Brits. Our rights are already being threatened and denied on a daily basis (just look at TSA for instance), it’s just a matter of time before they’ve stripped from us entirely. One of the many reasons I’m ditching the West coast, already on a trajectory similar to the UK, and heading to a more remote and easily defendable location where people still have a lick of sense.
