Government Harassment of Dissident Voices.

Over the weekend a number of Tommy Robinson Supporters on YouTube have essentially either relinquished vlogging about politics, or have removed themselves from YouTube altogether.

Prime amongst these is Paul Thorpe, a patriot, TR supporter and supporter of free speech in general. 

He's alluded to the amount of harassment he's had to put up over the past few weeks. Not from other YouTubers, or nasty commenters, but THE STATE, in the form of the Police.

He's a frequent traveller to Spain and back, having family over there and the past few times, he's been detained at the airport. No real valid reason, just harassment. 

But in a Vlog at the weekend, Paul mentioned that he's been stopped by the Police several times. Again, for not real reason, other than that the Police can. 

So he has markers on his passport for entry at ports and airports and it seems he has markers on his vehicles now as well. 

Paul really needs to get a subject access request in play with the Police to find out why those markers have been placed and by whom. 

We all know that the Police is full of far-left activists or Muslim Activists, any one of which could have misused the National Police Computer system to put a marker on Paul and his family.

I get that he must have been under intense pressure from his family to put his head down and shut up, to be quiet on the political subjects he vlogs on. 

But the thing is, it's not just Paul. Two or three more vloggers have gone silent, or released videos saying they are not going to vlog about politics going forward. 

So it's not just one guy being persecuted, it's half a dozen. 

But when does the Police get involved over political opinions? Why should they? Why are MPs not up in arms about this overreach? It's not like they are spewing extremism or hate. 

This stinks to high heaven. We are in a Police State.
