Nick Lowles: From Searchlight to Hope Not Hate to.... with a penchant for Islamophobia

Nick Lowles: From Searchlight to Hope Not Hate to.... with a penchant for Islamophobia

In 2016, the National Union of Students attempted to ban Nick Lowles to deny him a platform because he stood accused of Islamophobia. It has been reported that Nick Lowles is no longer the head of Hope Not Hate, in spite of the fact that articles signed by Nick Lowles are published by The Guardian. 

If such penchant for Islamophobia happens to be true, then Nick Lowles would have joined the likes of Nick Griffin, Paul Golding, Jayda Fransen and Tommy Robinson that - surprise, surprise - stand accused of Islamophobia. 

Nick Lowles: Anti-Muslim campaigner?
To have spent quite a few years as an 'Anti-Racist' campaigner, ending up being accused of Islamophobia like many of those active in the so called Far Right seems a bit of a fall from grace.

On this day and age, perhaps the Security Services using new legislation should ask him his pins and numbers of all his electronic devices to find out what he actually up to.

I wonder if Nick Lowles has any links with Moscow. Having links with Moscow was the reason why the Security Services detained Paul Golding at Heathrow Airport and took him away with handcuffs when Paul Golding refused to deliver his pins and passwords. Trump charges for terrorism were made against Paul Golding that will be in Westminster Magistrates Court on February 27th 2020 at 2:00 o'clock to answer against the said charges in what is nothing more than another piece political persecution.

The British mass media and some British politicians want you believe that we live in a free country, but unfortunately when somebody who has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism and stands against terrorism is arrested, manhandled and falsely accused, all illusions of being in a free country fall overboard.

Every single piece of repressive legislation - like a knife - can be used for the right reasons and for the wrong reasons. When Jacqui Smith, then Home Secretary under a Labour goverment, introduce anti-terror legislation, voices were raised to caution against the certain possibility that anti-terror legislation could be misused. Nick Lowles was more interested in demonising and harassing those he didn't like and not even paid lip service to public freedoms. What Nick Lowles should take into account is that he himself could be targetted with the tools he used against others. The Porno Home Secretary - she and her husband used to claim Parliamentary expenses for pornography videos - took an active party in putting aside Habeas Corpus and the Presumption of Innocence, making possible to detain individuals without access to legal counsel. 

We live in a very strange world. Nowadays, regardless of ideology, race, gender, et cetera, you could end up in court accused of terrorism simply because you refuse to surrender access to your private information contained in electronic devices. We started fighting against terrorism and we ended up creating a terrorist state. And, once again, Nick Lowles was instrumental in the creation of a terrorist state.

Terror Legislation: Security or an excuse for political persecution?

Terror Legislation: Security or an excuse for political persecution?

Habeas Corpus and the Presumption of Innocence are vital pillars for freedom in a democratic society. Legislation introduced by Jacqui Smith as Home Secretary of a Labour government introduced legislation that got rid of Habeas Corpus and the Presumption of Innocence. Detention for indefinite periods without the assistance of legal counsel has now been legalised. 

As if this wasn't enough, Police offers were authorized to request access to pins and passwords of all electonic devices. Failure to provide the information requested now leads to arrest and finally to charges for Terrorism. How has this happened? Somebody who has no involvement whatsoever in any kind of terror activity can find himself or herself in the dock and finally end up in jail having committed no crime whatsoever. 

Paul Golding, leader of Britain First, finds himself accused under anti-terrorism legislation because he refused to provide access to his electronic devices when he was detained at the Heathrow Airport having returned from Moscow where he participated in a series of meetings with political representatives.

Using anti-terror legislation in political persecution is the way to Hell on Earth.
