David Lammy STARTS Massive Arrests Against Tommy Robinson & UTK Protesters!

You know, something very serious seems to be happening in this country right now because after we had the United Kingdom rally, after thousands of ordinary people turned up on the streets of London, the government’s now openly talking about arrests, prosecutions, extra court time, and bearing down on protesters.

Meanwhile, victims of the gangs have waited years, even decades in a lot of cases for justice.

So people are now asking a very uncomfortable question.

Why does the British state suddenly move at lightning speed when it comes to a political protest but moves at snail pace when vulnerable British kids need protecting? And tonight we’re going to break this down a little bit and have a look at it.

So as you know thousands attended the United Kingdom rally associated with supporters of Tommy Robinson and broader anti-establishment movements.

Whether you agree with Tommy or not, a lot of the people attending were clearly ordinary workingclass people frustrated about immigration, policing, two-tier justice, the cost of living, and the feeling that Westminster no longer listens to them.

Now, immediately after the event, the political establishment and large parts of the media moved in to the exact same narrative you’ve seen over and over again.

Labels, smears, far-right racist, extremist.

You’ve heard them all before and you know without actually addressing why so many people are angry to their face.

Now what I want to show you first of all is this first clip here.

Thank you Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, on Saturday, the Secretary of State promised extra court time for anyone arrested at the United The Kingdom March.

Yet, we know there are grooming gang survivors who have waited more than 20 years for their cases to come to court.

How is it that he is able to find court time to arrest protesters and yet some victims of vile sexual abuse are waiting decades to hear their cases in court? [clears throat] I would say that the honorable lady as a magistrate recognizes the right to protest exists in our country and we defend it.

But where people spew hate, where they incite violence, where anyone uh is subject to criminal damage or harm, of course the courts will bear down on bear down on them in the strongest possible of ways.

Now that is the usual kind of response that I would expect from David Lammy of all people and the Labor government as a whole.

And you know the thing about all this is is you know that question the way that it was asked by Sarah Poachin is going to hit home for a lot of people in this country because regardless of political affiliation most ordinary people understand there is a backlog crisis in this country that’s been created by the governments of this country and victims have waited for years.

Cases have collapsed.

People are unable to get justice.

And yet suddenly, according to critics, when it involves political protest, resources magically appear from somewhere.

Now, listen carefully to the government’s response, as you just did.

Where people spew hate when they incite violence, the courts will bear down on them in the strongest possible way.

Uh you notice something important about this the wording because critics are now arguing that the government increasingly conflates protest, anger and dissent with extremism itself and that is the concern that many people have.

Now things escalated a little bit further when David Lambie appeared on uh LBC.

According to critics online, Lambie effectively smeared everybody attending the rally as racist despite openly admitting he wasn’t even there himself.

And this clip I’m about to show you absolutely exploded all over the place.

You put out a social media post, Deputy Prime Minister, on Saturday.

The Unite the Kingdom March organizers are spreading hatred and division.

How do you know? Did you attend it? Well, actually, you’ll understand that uh uh I and my family are in central London.

Uh we’re very aware of the protests.

Uh there were 43 arrests made, 11 of them for for for hate speech.

And my job working with the home secretary was to ensure that people could not fly into our country from abroad to stir up hate and division on our streets.

So, we barred them from the ability to do that.

And the police did a huge operation in London.

Lots of resources, all of it at public expense.

People have the right to protest, but they must protest peacefully.

Just just to clarify, the 43 arrests were all linked to the United Kingdom demonstration.

Were they? Uh uh that was over the course of the weekend.

I know that there was another protest, of course, the Nagba protest uh was going on as well.

I haven’t seen the full breakdown of arrest relating to How can you know the Unite the Kingdom march organizers are spreading hatred and division if you didn’t attend? Well, look, uh, this was not the first of those marches.

Some of those that were asked to come and attend.

No, no, I appreciate that, sir, but you were referring to the ones on Saturday.

You didn’t know.

You’re making This is a Oh, come on, Nick.

Nick, Nick, Nick, you and I have known each other for years.

Too long.

Let’s be clear.

We know what Tommy Robinson’s about.

I don’t we found common ground around.

I don’t think that’s about all these years a discussion at LBC.

All your listeners know what Tommy Robinson’s about.

I don’t think anything I said was particularly controversial.

Now again, you may completely and utterly disagree with Tommy Robinson or you may completely disagree with everyone at the rally, but here’s the bigger issue people are raising.

Has Britain reached a point where huge numbers of ordinary citizens are simply dis dismissed, demonized and politically isolated rather than listened to because that’s what a lot of people now believe is happening.

And politically that you know in itself can become very dangerous for any democracy.

And this is where the hypocrisy argument really begins to bite because people are looking around Britain and asking where was this urgency during, you know, the grooming gang scandals? Where was this urgency during repeated failures in policing? Where was this urgency when communities were begging authorities to act? Now again, very important to say this clearly.

If anyone commits violence, if anyone commits criminal damage, if anyone breaks the law, then obviously police should deal with that.

But critics are arguing the government appears far more energized when confronting political disscent than when dealing with systemic failures that damaged ordinary communities.

And politically, the perception is becoming uh rather explosive.

Now, at exactly the same time this is happening, there’s also a major argument erupting over jury trials and the system backlog.

And I want to show you this clip here which uh goes through it.

Cal Turner.

Speaker, it must be absolutely exhausting holding on to an idea that only he, the justice secretary, still pretends is a good one.

The mayor of London is opposed to these changes and has tried to persuade him to bin it.

The mayor of Manchester is opposed to this ludicrous idea.

The leader of Scottish Labor was opposed to this idea and it doesn’t even involve Scotland.

The former Welsh first minister was apparently opposed to it.

When is he going to let his ego get out the way and bin this ludicrous idea of cailing jury trials? No long now.

Dave, no long now.

The the honorable The honorable makes [laughter] his point with real force.

He however never ever talks about victims and has not explained how we should bring down the backlog.

Um and the tr and the tr and the truth is we are determined to bring down the backlog and that is why order order order.

Mr Turner I took the question I want you to expect you to hear the answer as well.

Secretary, we are determined to bring down the backlog.

He knows that all governments are strikes.

Stand by our jury system.

Stand by the Magna Carta.

We are not scrapping jury trials.

I know he gets excited about this.

But he should recognize that.

Jes Liberal Democrat spokes.

This next package, stand by our jury trials.

Stand by the Magna Carta.

Those are the words you heard him say.

Now, this matters because many people already feel trust in British institutions is collapsing.

And when governments start talking about speeding up prosecutions, changing court processes, prioritizing certain cases, people rightly become nervous, especially when political protests are involved because Britain has already priority, due process, jury trials, and fairness under the law.

and England even more so to be quite honest with you and that is supposed to be one of the defining pillars of our nation.

And here’s what I think of you know Westminster still doesn’t fully understand.

This movement just isn’t about Tommy Robinson anymore.

For many people it becomes symbolic of something much larger.

A feeling that ordinary British people are losing their voice.

a feeling that concerns about immigration, national security, policing, and fairness are automatically treated as illegitimate.

And every time the establishment responds with more crackdowns, more smears, and more threats, it arguably pushes more people towards anti-establishment politics.

So, the question tonight is very simple.

Is Britain defending democracy or becoming increasingly intolerant or of disscent? Let me know what you think in the comments.
