It’s clear what group is in charge in Britain today. It has been clear for years. They might as well make Anjem Choudary Prime Minister and be done with it.
“WATCH: Police Threaten Independent Journalist After He Reported a Mosque for Violating Restrictions on Public Gatherings,” Caldron Pool, April 13, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
UK Police have threatened a radio show host after he reported a mosque for violating COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings.
North Yorkshire Police turned up at the apartment of Tom Linden, host of UK Preppers Radio Network, after he issued a complaint to West Yorkshire Police about Muslims flouting the restriction rules by gathering in mosques for Friday prayers.
In the complaint, Mr Linden informed police that as an independent journalist, he intended on monitoring and reporting on the mass gatherings.
“All other religious denominations places of worship are of course closed and quite rightly so in my opinion,” Mr Linden said in a statement on his website.
“I read two articles in two different newspapers, on covering Bradford, The Telegraph and Argus, the other covering Leeds, The Leeds Press. They both talked of mosques flouting the CV-19 social distancing rules.
“This incensed me and made me feel very angry indeed,” Mr Linden added. “I, therefore, reported these mosques to West Yorkshire Police via their online COVID-19 report form.”
Mr Linden said his mistake was letting the police know of his intentions to “drive around” and report on open mosques and large outdoor meetings.
Despite journalists being deemed “key workers” under COVID-19 rules, the North Yorkshire police warned Mr Linden that monitoring mosques would be considered “unnecessary” travel.
“I am an independent radio journalist and as such a ‘key worker’,” Mr Linden said. “I, therefore, have the RIGHT to travel without restriction.
“Welcome to the Police State,” he added.

which mosques?
west yorkshire police have form

I’ve twice reported Muslim gatherings to the police over the last few days. Police responded by turning up and dispersed the group but when the same group gathered the next day one officer turned up and basically let them carry one with the barbeque etc. You can’t trust the UK paedo police when it cones to Muslims.
Gork says
Hey, Journalists –yeah, the few of you who really look for news to report instead of making up ignorant opinions from the opinions of others…
Do you still think the right to keep and bear arms is so stupid? You do? Then you deserve everything that comes of such stupidity.
I wonder if the police, never mind the Mosque, would have dared to do this against someone who might be reasonably well armed.
carpediadem says
Of course they would, they’d have brought more police, a SWAT team and heavily armed riot squads.
being armed is not everything in these situations.
Lee Buttler says
I think you will find that police would not make such a ludicrous intervention in a country where you are allowed to bear arms. This is the result of decades of suppression granted as a direct bye product of a defenseless nation.
Mario Alexis Portella says
This is absolute frustrating! That’s the politically correct world for you!
mortimer says
Response: if we cannot polemically discuss Islam, then Muslims see no reason to leave it. Muslims reconsider what they were taught only after they experience sharp cognitive dissonance.
Muslims are brainwashed to accept Islam’s contradictions without independent, critical thought and analysis. Muslims are told they must rely solely on the authority of the mullahs, who, in fact, may say almost anything they wish without facing any criticism from within the Muslim community. The mullahs have wide power to make up any convenient explanation they want because they will seldom be challenged.
The UK police are further helping the mullahs to keep Muslims away from critical thought.
Terry Gain says
Are Muslims even aware of the contradictions? How can Muslims become aware without freedom of speech? Paraphrasing the traitorous Islamophile (or closet Muslim) Obama: the future will not belong to those who are afraid to criticize the prophet of Islam.
gravenimage says
Mortimer–with all respect–the idea that Muslims immediately leave Islam on hearing its being criticized is mistaken, In fact, they are more apt to threaten to murder the critic. Just look at the constant stream of death threats Anti-Jihadists like Robert Spencer and Bosch Fawstin receive.
But you are right about the threat we face from censoring freedom of speech.
FYI says
True.
Even when you show muslims that the koran is flawed on many levels{Theological,logical,scientific.. even in the grammar of the written Arabic itself}that does not mean that muslims will abandon islam:
As ex-muslims have learned in dealing with muslim fanatics.
The ‘holy’ men of islam and the dawa fraudsters certainly will not be sidetracked in their koranically-sanctioned mission to promote islam even if they can see it is as a false religion with a false god and a false prophet and a false plagiarized scripture.
They have too much invested in it:like a salesman who sells a product he knows to be faulty but can make a few easy bucks by selling it to the gullible fool.
Jayell says
This is the politically CORRUPT world for you.
The West Yorkshire police cover Leeds and Bradford, and I believe places like Keighley as well. Leeds used to be one of the UK’s Jewish centres – I wonder if it still is? Bradford is now virtually an Islamic State. Keighley is the den of islamic depravity that was first brought to light by Anne Cryer, the then local MP, back around (I believe) 2002, and Nick Griffin picked the case but was dragged before a kangaroo court on a charge of ‘promoting Hate Speech’ with a possible 7-year jail term because he described islam as an ‘evil and vicious faith’. So much for freedom of expression. The West Yorkshire police would no doubt have been involved in all of that.
The South Yorkshire police cover Rotherham. We all know about Ritherham. the whole world now knows about Rotherham. The South Yorkshire police were heavily inviolved (with the BBC – no comment) in the appalling Cliff Richard harassment debacle which – strangely – occurred at the same time as the cover was about to be blown on the whole Rotherham fiasco. The whole world has now known about the South Yorkshire police for many years. Both the South Yorkshire police and the BBC had to pay out huge sums in damages to Sir Cliff when they were forced to face a court case brought by Sir Cliff that they probably thought they’d get away without having to face. This court was arguably given about the minimum attention by the media that they thought they’d get away with bearing in mind the huge popularity of Sir Cliff Richard. Sir Cliff sold the house that was raided by the South Yorkshire police because he couldn’t bear to spend any time there anymore after this atrocious outrage. I believe that he has now permanently left the country possibly for the same reason. By the way, for those who don’t know, Sir Cliff is not only famed for being a pop star, he is also famous for being a Christian. Now, isn’t that interesting? Funny that someone with his profile should be publicly ‘investigated’ for (non-existent) sexual misdemeanours at exactly the same time as the lid was being blown off an all-time.gross hstoric national scandal involving a entire Yorkshire town caused almost exclusively by – I wonder what community? And aided and abetted by the local police? Very interesting! The last I was aware the South Yorkshire Police were still ‘conducting investigations’. And I believe I came across a report that the Rotherham rape gangs weren’t entirely out of business.
Given the zeal with which.a lot of police around the UK have been investigating individual and communal breaches of lock-down, I wonder if the South Yorkshire police have been investigating illegal gatherings in (shall we say?) ‘places of worship’ in their area? Or have they, like the West Yorkshire Police, been turning a blind eye where it might be ‘politically inconvenient’ and have maybe instead been investigating individuals who have been investigating what the police should have been investigating ion the first place?
By the way, the performance of the West Yorkshire police constable in the video, in this sort of situation and involving the activities of the same sort of people, is by no means unique. You won’t see many reports of this sort of thing in the British MSM but other internet agencies are crawling with them.

Jayell, according to Localstatslocalstats.co.uk, Leeds is 5.4% Muslim, but just 0.9% Jewish. These figures date from the 2011 census, though–things may be much worse there now.
James Lincoln says
I strongly urge all Jihad Watch readers to watch the entire 15 minute video embedded in the feature article.
This is exactly what the “early stages” of sharia law look like.
These particular “politically correct / muslim apologist ” UK police officers are actually trying to shut down journalistic coverage of mosques that are ignoring the current UK social distancing rules.
Absolutely despicable – and it will get worse with each passing year…
mortimer says
The UK Home Office should be purged of these pc ideologues. The police on the instruction of the Home Office are suppressing the freedom of expression guaranteed in British law.
The UK are being sent out as THOUGHT-CONTROL POLICE.
PRCS says
I did. The police were either unable or unwilling to cite the law. Tom should send a copy of that video to the appropriate police department—if doing so isn’t illegal.
Terry Gain says

It’s quite distressing to watch. I wonder how much Trumpism Boris Johnson has in him. If this idiocy doesn’t soon change I will have no faith in him. The first step on the road to recovery is to end Muslim Privilege. They should stop treating Muslims as if they are above the law and stop harassing ordinary Britons who are demanding equal application of the law to all citizens.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain says,
“They should stop treating Muslims as if they are above the law and stop harassing ordinary Britons who are demanding equal application of the law to all citizens.”
100% agree.
As Prime Minister the UK, Boris Johnson should make this happen immediately…
GOLDMANN says
Yes ?Mr Lincoln! And why the l o n g conversation! ? The cheek of that police man calling him by his first name ? did the journist say he could?!!?

Yes–chilling video.

UK POLICE ARE NOW ‘THE THOUGHT POLICE’
‘You have become the Thought Police.’ UK Police Chief questioned over recording of hate incidents
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu6EPYjEUbQ
James Lincoln says
A London Assembly member questions the Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police:
“How do you feel about the police potentially recording ‘hate incidents’ against your name without any evidence required, based on the ‘perception’ of a ‘victim’ that you have offended their personal characteristics?”
The Assistant Commissioner thinks this is “OK”.
He is totally PC brainwashed – the UK is now fully Orwellian.
Do NOT travel there – the police will NOT protect you…
PS: Interestingly, this particular YouTube video does not allow comments.
I wonder why…

mortimer,
Thank you for posting this video, it is absolutely frightening what is happening in the UK.
gravenimage says
Terrifying, Mortimer. It is not the business of the state in any free nation to check its citizens’ thinking.
Carolyn Marlin says
Sir should local UK people start start throwing rocks at UK police who are pro muslim????
gravenimage says
Patriotic Britons should make a stink–not start acting like Muslim barbarians.
Peter Dale says
The English police obviously police everything but crime.
Terry Gain says
The UK police officers wish to keep their jobs. They are obeying the orders of the politicians who are ruining the country.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Terry. I’m sure most police are disgusted by this.
Not that this excuses their silence, of course.
Terry Gain says
The implied threat of terrorist attacks is very effective in conditioning acceptance of Sharia imperatives and need only be reinforced by the occasional terrorist attack. As a “religion” Islam is an evil and irrational ideology. As a conquest ideology, it is brilliant, especially when attacking limp-dicked nations.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain,
Regarding the implied threat of terrorist attacks:
Sounds like an exercise in the psychology of classical conditioning:
The unconditioned stimulus of an actual terrorist attack produces the unconditioned response of fear/panic.
The conditioned stimulus, islamic dress, or anything islam, etc., will then also produce the conditioned response of fear/panic.

More insanity, this time from the police. I hope Tom Linden gets the word out, and British citizens demand action.

Fascism is what now controls most western world nations as evident within the United Kingdom, Canada, United States, and more. None here need to be reminded of Fascism’s long romance with Islam (right Adolf?). King Fahad mosque (intentionally used lower case for all houses of slaughter deserve such) in California was allowed to remain open after the F.B.I. post-9/11 Report identified it as aiding and abetting two of the terrorist plane hijackers. Moreover, Democratic President William Clinton (circa 1997) began allowing both Saudi Arabia and Turkey to build mosques throughout the United States. Moreover, there is now belief the entire 9/11 attack was orchestrated with western world “help”. Think about it folks… what is the best way to control a population? Islam. Get used to it is all I can suggest for no matter where “we folks” go… we will be targeted merely for our skin color and/or our beliefs in God, Country, Family.
gravenimage says
Who believes that 9/11 was actually the West waging violent Jihad against itself?
And it you think that Infidels can control Muslims you are much mistaken.
Kevin A. Hiatt says
I don’t care what race, colour or religion there is one rule which applies to all, and if they want to spread the virus between themselves doing everyone a favour gets the idiot genes out of the gene pool.

Why do the police address him as Tom? The familiarity is very rude. To the police, tax funded officials, he should be Mr Linden.
Giacomo Latta says
‘ “unnecessary” travel’?
and congregating at a mosque is necessary?
steven john says
if i was a pub owner i’d ban both those cops and any cops like them. they can go to a hookah bar or a beer free mosque
