Good old Tommy.....one of the 'Best of British'.
Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has indeed been involved in anti-immigration activities in Ireland, which have raised concerns about the growing influence of far-right extremists in the country. He has traveled to Ireland on several occasions, most notably in 2023, where he presented himself as a journalist covering protests against asylum seekers and immigrants. His involvement has sparked tensions and has been criticized by both local activists and members of far-right groups in Ireland. Some Irish far-right figures have even distanced themselves from Robinson, seeing him as an unwelcome “foreign” influence in their activities .
Robinson’s presence has contributed to the increasing network between far-right groups in Ireland and the UK, further intensifying protests against asylum seekers. These activities reflect broader trends of growing far-right mobilization and anti-migrant sentiment in both countries .
