Matt Taibbi makes some critically important comments with respect to the fact Prime Minister Keir Starmer dove right in to allegedly create new Orwellian rules, some relating to pre-crime, as a result of the riots that kicked-off in Southport following the July 29th stabbing deaths of three young girls who have been named as six-year-old Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe, aged seven, and nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar.
Ironic, isn't it, that the man responsible for organising two peaceful London rallies in a bid to unite his fellow citizens of all colours, ages, religions and walks of life behind a common set of shared British values is being scapegoated for the sudden upsurge of violence now blighting the nation.
One popular newspaper has disgraced its profession - and possibly even flouted the law - by deliberately leaking the location of the overseas resort where former leader of the decade-long-defunct English Defence League, Tommy Robinson is (sorry, was) enjoying a family holiday, thereby putting their lives in obvious danger.
Upon his return, Mr Robinson is due to face a (contested) contempt charge, for which he says he has yet to receive an official summons, and whatever other lawfare a rotten-to-the-core Establishment can dream up as an excuse to lock up their much-reviled nemisis and (in their wettest dreams) throw away the key.
Prior to his departure from the UK, the much-maligned “far right, former EDL leader” was subjected to a six-hour grilling by police on the unsubstantiated grounds that he may have breached terrorism legislation. Clearly, the “lout from Luton” has recently been gaining too much critical mass for the liking of the cack handed Westminster cabal whose irresponsible immigration policy has become one of his main targets.
Gallingly, for the self-serving leaders of the Parliamentary dog and pony show, Mr Robinson appears to have his finger firmly on the pulse of an increasingly disenfranchised and discontented working class (as opposed to a jackboot on their necks). Moreover, on the back of the success of his two remarkably well-organised and massively supported pro-British rallies, he threatens to add a political dimension to his populist appeal as a man of the people unafraid to speak truth to power.
The Establishment clearly cannot allow this pilgrim's threatening progress to continue.
No surprise, then, that hard on the heels of Government proposal to extradite anyone deemed to have incited the rioting elements, the BBC (who else!) has announced the issue of a warrant for Mr Robinson’s arrest. Talk about guilt by association!
This leaves the bankrupted, deplatformed and divorced 41-year-old father of three with a devil-and-deep-blue-sea choice. He can, and has said he will, return to the UK and pray that the music he must eventually face does not turn out to be a funeral march (he has survived several previous attacks, including one while incarcerated in a jail which just happened to have the largest Muslim population of any in the UK.
Alternatively, he can resign himself to a future as a fugitive from the beloved homeland whose culture he has fought all his adult life to defend, and the wracking prospect of indefinite separation from the family he so clearly adores.

And you thought Wat Tyler had it tough!
