- Did the Daily
Mail's lawyers have to check with the British government,
which had placed a gag order on reporting about the arrest, to
make sure that it was permissible to report on the protest, if
not directly on the arrest itself?
- It seems fair to say
that the incident has shocked, outraged, and scared people
around the world who, until now, had thought of the United
Kingdom as a free country.
- "Britain used
to be a bastion of free speech. Today its leaders are behaving
like North Korea and Saudi Arabia." – Geert Wilders, MP;
The Netherlands
- Meanwhile, Robinson
remains in jail for daring to exercise his free speech, and
what the mainstream media have won back is the right to resume
repeating their lockstep lies about who he is and what he
stands for.

Hundreds of supporters of Tommy Robinson filled the
streets of London on Saturday in protest against his arrest in
Leeds on Friday, but it was not until shortly after midnight on
Monday that the Daily Mail posted a report about the protest
on its website. The story, which was unsigned, was updated on early
Monday afternoon. How to explain the delay? Did the Daily Mail's
lawyers have to check with the British government, which had placed
a gag order on reporting about the arrest, to make sure that it was
permissible to report on the protest, if not directly on the arrest
itself?
