A fair and equal society is not one where we drag others down to the lowest level, it's where we give a hand to help everyone get up to our level!

After years away, I’m back — because I can’t just sit by while our rights are eroded by @UKLabour and a two-tier justice system becomes normalised. When speaking out feels like it could get you arrested, something has gone seriously wrong in this country. 1/

We’ve stood up before — for Brexit, for free speech, for fairness. 🧍♂️ We can do it again. 💯 Because if we stay silent now, we may not have the right to speak later. #TwoTierJustice #FreeSpeech #StandUp4Justice /End

We can’t allow this system to continue. We can’t let #TwoTierKeir quietly chip away at the rights that people died for. Migrants came here to escape persecution — not find it again under a different name. 9/

This isn’t about agreeing with what anyone said or did — it’s about equal justice. The rules are supposed to apply the same way to everyone. But clearly, they don’t. That’s why people are calling this what it is: #TwoTierJustice. 8/

Now compare that with this: Garron Helm was jailed for 4 weeks and fined for posting an offensive image of MP Luciana Berger online — no weapon, no physical violence Jailed for a tweet. But threaten to kill someone with a knife, and walk free. 7/ https://t.co/h84opKhiJd

So let’s be clear: ➡He made a threat to kill. ➡ He armed himself with a knife. ➡ He attacked the man he threatened. ✔ That’s premeditated violence — by any normal definition. ❌ Yet the system treated it like a minor lapse in judgement. 6/

And the sentence? ➡️ 20 weeks, suspended for 18 months. ➡️ Meaning: no prison time at all. This is despite the law being clear — threatening with a knife in public usually carries a mandatory minimum of six months in custody. 5/

The attacker, Moussa Kadri, threatened to kill Hamit Coskun, returned armed with a knife, and carried out a violent attack outside the Turkish Consulate in London. (Confirmed by Humanists UK and CARE UK). 4/ https://t.co/h4h9RXbAcu

What really pushed me back onto here was a recent case that exposes this double standard clearly! A man was attacked for burning a Quran — and the fact that he was attacked was used against him in court. That’s victim-blaming, plain and simple. 3/ 📄 https://t.co/zV3IUHFmqU

We send diplomats around the world promoting “freedom of expression” — yet here at home, that same right is quietly being undermined. Freedom of speech shouldn’t stop at our own borders. 2/

…on a whim! It would have been much easier to defend the nation from the 2-Tier police state if we had all done so at the start! Now when the 2-Tier system is used against those who secretly like it, it’s got precedent! Therefore it will be harder to stop! It will stop though!

…politics should work! When we vote, we should be thinking of the entire country and making it better for everyone, not just “winning” and not caring about others with different views! So I’ll defend those rights, it’s just a shame the left drop their apparent principles… 20/

I need to add, as I am unfortunately burdened with principles that I don’t drop just because it’s “easier” for me, I will still actually stand with anyone that tries to defend the rights to peaceful protest etc… I won’t change who I am as I’m now “winning”. That’s not how… 19/

…is real hope that at the end of this period of time, the majority (based on current polls and I see no way that the tide changes!) wake up, drop the insanity vote and vote for real change! It could be worse, it could be better, what it won’t be is the same! That’s a win for me!

Not one person on the side of Labour could come out and say it was wrong what was happening and as we know there was a lot of lies to brand local people as “bussed in far right agitators”! So, the refusal to stand for what is right, means I look forward to those same… 16/

…say it? Regardless, those accusations will not deter me and I hope they don’t deter anyone else either! What I will add is that I made an offer when Labour took power, stand with us now to defend the rights of peaceful protests and I’ll stand with you if the time comes! 15/

Of course, you’ll see (and this will become the same as the EU referendum closer to the election) the standard claims of racism. fascism, homophobia and any other insult intended to try and shame their supporters. Although what makes them racist will never be clear. I mean… 13/

…maintain the status quo if (more likely when!) reform form a government! Thankfully no parliament can implement laws that another can’t undo. Especially if it’s a clear manifesto commitment, then it will be more of a hindrance than a means to stop the next government! 12/
