   Yes, two horrendous people, but what do they have to do with the thread topic ? 

   What does this story have to do with Tommy Robinson ?

 

 

Pretending to be totally naive is not a good look.

The answer is yes........

 

Figures like Tommy Robinson, who has gained notoriety for his racist rhetoric and far-right views, contribute to an environment that can permit, encourage, or incite racist attacks by normalizing hate speech and framing entire communities as threats. 

 

Through his inflammatory language and actions, he reinforces negative stereotypes about minority groups often linking them to crime.

 

This kind of messaging can embolden individuals with racist or xenophobic tendencies, making them feel justified in targeting certain groups. By portraying his views as a defense of free speech or national identity, Robinson and others like him create a space where bigotry is more socially acceptable, encouraging some to act on these prejudices, whether through verbal abuse or physical violence.

 

Whilst he may deny direct responsibility, the rhetoric he promotes helps foster a climate where racist attacks become more likely.

   So in that equation,  Tommy Robinson is Hitler and the Sikhs are Jewish kids and the attack on the Black man is the Holocaust ?

“We’re being taken over. It’s an invasion. 

 

“These people are backward savages, and they are trying to enforce their way of life on us.”

 

"The reality is there is a war being waged and we need to wake up to it.”

 

 

The generalizations and inflammatory language in his statements can incite hostility promoting racism and social division.

This is mostly for the Brits on here but lesser nations can join in too.

We have had a rather stormy couple of months here in Thailand but this question is about what is happening at home.

What does the average Brit here think of Tommy Robinson?There doesn't seem to be any middle ground with him.You either love him or hate him.

I'm writing this because on 1stJune he organised a massive peaceful protest in London which was a huge success without any trouble at all but the MSM either refused to acknowledge it or reported it as right wing football supporters.

I like the guy.Yes he is rough round the edges but was first in the firing line with the grooming gang scandal when all others turned a blind eye.

Oh,Tommy Tommy.

Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson.

Total bigot who has lots of useful idiots following him who are making him richer.

    This attack wasn't racially motivated , the case wasn't prosecuted under a racially motivated crime and the car drivers had previously attacked a White man a few days previously , again with their car

Never mind Hitler who did not adopt anyone, give us an example of Tommy's so called racist rhetoric. Being anti mass Immigration, rape gangs and islamisation has nothing to do with racism. People who tell others to grow up rarely have any evidence for their lies.

Most on the far right are Islamophobic.  My mother only decided she liked Jewish people when she found out they killed Muslims.  Devout member of the Hang'em & Flog'em brigade since 1955.  I have heard all far-right fascist lunacies prior to her death.  I doubt Satan will let her into Hell.

Just a violent ultra right-wing, highly convicted felon. "Wants his country back" means nothing.

A few highlights.

 

"Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon (born Stephen Christopher Yaxley, 27 November 1982), better known as Tommy Robinson, is a British anti-Islam campaigner, convicted criminal, and one of the UK’s most prominent far-right activists. He was a political advisor to former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader Gerard Batten.

 

Robinson has been active in far-right politics for many years. He was a member of the British National Party (BNP), a neo-fascist and white nationalist political party, from 2004 to 2005. For a short time in 2012, he was joint vice-chairman of the far-right British Freedom Party (BFP). He co-founded the far-right English Defence League (EDL) in 2009 and led it until 8 October 2013. In 2015, he became involved with the development of Pegida UK, a now-defunct British chapter of the German far-right Pegida. From 2017 to 2018, he wrote and appeared in videos on the Canadian far-right website Rebel News.

 

Robinson has been convicted for multiple crimes involving violence, stalking, financial and immigration fraud, drug possession, public order offences, and contempt of court. He has served at least four separate prison terms: for assault in 2005, for using false travel documents to enter the United States in 2012, for mortgage fraud in 2014, and 13 months in 2018 for contempt of court after publishing a Facebook Live video of defendants entering a law court (contravening a court order that disallows reporting on such trials while proceedings are ongoing). In August 2018, due to procedural errors, he was released on bail pending a new hearing. In July 2019, he was again found guilty of contempt of court at the retrial and was committed at the Old Bailey to nine months in prison․ Before his sentencing, he appeared on the American far-right website InfoWars to appeal for political asylum in the U.S. He was released from prison on 13 September 2019 after nine weeks.

 

In July 2021, Robinson was found to have libelled a 15-year-old refugee at a school in Huddersfield and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs, although he had filed for bankruptcy in March 2021. In October 2021, he was made subject to a five-year stalking order for harassing journalist Lizzie Dearden and her partner.

 

"....but lost his job when he was convicted of assaulting an off-duty police officer in a drunken argument. He served a 12-month prison sentence."

 

"Robinson has appeared masked at protests. Although Robinson repeatedly insisted from the early days of the organisation that the EDL was "against the rise of radical Islam" and that its members "aren't against Islam", its rank and file were noted for including football hooligans and members who described themselves as anti-Muslim."

 

"Robinson was convicted in 2011 of using "threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour" during a fight between supporters of Luton Town and Newport County in Luton the previous year. Robinson reportedly led the group of Luton fans, and played an integral part in starting a 100-man brawl, during which he chanted "EDL till I die". He was sentenced to a 12-month community rehabilitation order with 150 hours' unpaid work and a three-year ban from attending football matches."

 

"On 29 September 2011, Robinson was convicted of common assault after headbutting a fellow EDL member at a rally in Blackburn in April that year.[1][18] He was sentenced to 12 weeks' imprisonment, suspended for 12 months."

 

 

😴 This is what the average British expat thinks of him. They lap all that msm tat up. Very naive. The bloke is no angel and is aggressive in his speech, has been scapegoated and set up no end and has repeatedly stated violence is not the way. Just glad that someone over there still has some balls and patriotism. The place is a wishy washy mess.
