UKIP member Paul Weston speaks about the appalling treatment of Tony Roberts at the hands of Britain's totalitarian regime:
Regardless of how disturbing Roberts's viewpoints may be, it's impossible for this American to understand how on earth that gives any government the right to "disappear" him and threaten those wishing to publicly discuss the issues that led to his arrests. This shameful episode has reminded me that, as bad as things are in the US, at least I live in a land where free speech is still (more-or-less) enshrined as one of the nation's cornerstones. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in a country without strong First Amendment rights.
