Tommy Robinson deported for being a threat to national security

Oh this cheered me right up this morning.

Tommy Grifter Robinson decided he needed a holiday (wonder where he gets the money from) and flew to Colombia where he wasn't allowed in, then flew to Panama where he wasn't allowed in and was put on a flight for deportation back to the UK.

I'm not sure why Tommy Robinson wouldn't be happy that other countries don't want to let in dangerous rabble-rousers with a history of violence.

(sad video here about how much he was looking forward to his holiday https://x.com/gadget440/status/1969217159470428210?s=61&t=U9XrcF693-JpMxeIueYG7g )

He has previously committed immigration offences - using false documents to enter the USA - that’s a barrier to entering some countries, as are criminal offences - such a credit to the U.K.

I see no one has put forward a single link to show racism or being far right. Instead just snide remarks because you’re all very clever

Find your own links, you lazy fucker. They’re literally everywhere. But that’s not what this is about, is it?

So some countries do defend their borders and deport people they consider undesirable. Maybe we could learn from them.

The UK already deports foreign criminals, 4,000 were deported in 2023.

No it probably means the poster is pissing in the wind trying to make herself understood. Like the rest of us ,what are we called Oh yeah Supporters of the evil one!
She is as I am ,probably laughing her socks off at the uneducated blind comments on here. She probably has more important things to do today than explain herself to the righteous amongst you.

What's your definition of "uneducated" exactly?

He lives in Spain.

Interesting. An immigrant who hates other immigrants.

Or just the ones who aren’t white

LoisGriffinskitchen · 20/09/2025 13:03

He’s an asshole…but hardly lives in the UK anyway. He also loves a bit of the old Columbian Marching Powder allegedly.

Hateful man preaching division and hatred.

if people are too stupid to see that then that’s on them. Blame migrants while the powers that be have systematically underfunded and underinvested in public services for years. But it’s all the fault of the migrants. Some of you are truly thick

You think a man who lives in a different country to his kids is an active parent?

Obviously..is it not the whole point of the post about Tommy being here in the UK causing all this bad feeling. Is he here or there the most? You can't have it both ways! Rethink your argument ...

noblegiraffe · 20/09/2025 13:09

I’m astonished that this proud patriot who loves his country doesn’t live in it.

Can I just say that the EDL does not exist nor has it for many years..again facts matter. Formally the english and jewish defence league before it changed its name. Just saying Facts matter.

The name has faded but it’s still a banner under which far right goons operate, according to the news:

‘Merseyside police said supporters of the EDL appeared prominent in the Southport disorder after rioters clashed with police outside a mosque on Tuesday night.’

https://news.sky.com/story/does-the-english-defence-league-still-exist-and-could-it-be-banned-in-the-uk-13190517

BUT, it’s good to see you think facts matter. Hopefully you’ll apply this philosophy next time you see an attack on Muslims or any other minority or people and speak up.

Does the English Defence League still exist, and could it be banned in the UK?

Angela Rayner said the Home Secretary will "be looking at" whether the English Defence League should be banned in law. But what - if anything - is left of the organisation is in a very different state to when it was founded.

He pops over for parents' evenings, though. Such an attentive father. Warms the cockles of the heart, doesn't it?

You’re the one who said he attends parents evenings in the UK and that Spain is only 2 hours from the UK!

If that’s your idea of a good father, then I wonder how you parent.

as far as I know, all countries defend their borders from convicted criminals…

Piggywaspushed · 20/09/2025 13:14

To be honest, it's not clear if the EDL still exists or not. Because they all fell out.

By 2023 and 2024, news publications and anti-extremist group Hope not Hate considered the EDL defunct as an organisation, though they said that some members of the far-right still identified themselves as supporters of the EDL, and that its ideology still remained prominent in the now more decentralised British far right. Following far-right violence at London's Cenotaph on Armistice Day 2023, an event at which Robinson was present, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned those involved as "EDL thugs".Following the murder of three children in Southport in July 2024, far-right rioting broke out locally before spreading to other parts of the UK. Individuals who identified as EDL supporters were among the rioters, and in response the Deputy Prime Minister suggested the EDL could be proscribed as a terrorist organisation. Joe Mulhall, head of Hope Not Hate, dismissed the idea that the EDL was responsible for the riots or that banning it would be effective, "because the organisation no longer exists"

MN has gone right downhill. FFS.

Strange, isn't it. Almost like posters are just waiting to jump in with something racist as early as possible. Almost like some aren't here in the best faith.

Look how easy it is to deport people.

UK should try it

Perhaps we could get started by deporting you back to the US?

It must be hard for them, coming from their echo chambers on X to here.

My parenting..2 children, well adults now , both privately educated ,one on a full scholarship and both attended Russel Group Universities. One gay ,one straight both with their own families and homes thriving in well established careers...lucked out there with them having a mother like me! Sorry..we are not all at the bottom of the food chain as you would imagine!

YourAmplePlumPoster · 20/09/2025 13:21

He lives in Spain, availed himself of an Irish passport so he could live there and is divorced from his wife.

catofdestiny · 20/09/2025 13:21

there definitely seems to be an agenda from far right posters coming on here and spreading crap on MN these days. it's so bloody obvious.

Many of the Black people on that march are only in this country because their grandparents and parents withstood the brutal violence of the equivalents of Yaxley Lennon and his mob in the late 50s. That generation doesn’t talk about it because the memories are so bad. Those white riots we saw recently? Well the same thing happened in the late 50’s. The black people who were its victims were attacked in the streets as they went about their lives, by ordinary people who hated their presence. I am black and if this ever happens again I have decided to stand my ground. Tommy Robinson and his buffoons will have to take me down. I won’t fight back because I believe in non violence, but I am going to make a stand.

When Elon Musk spoke at the rally he legitimised violence against black and brown people or anyone who seems different. Friends of mine stayed away from the march for fear of violence. If any of those blacks who marched with Lennon had been separated from their “friends” they would probably have been set upon by others in the mob who saw them only as black. And I can’t help thinking that would teach them a crucial lesson.

I don’t know who you are or where you are WeeGeeBored, but if that day comes I’ll be beside you in spirit, as I am now.

Good for you. So would you have lived in a different country to your school aged kids?

And also, why did you name change for this thread?

You only have 22 posts to your name.

And where did I say or imply you are at the bottom of the food chain?

Whether or not they lucked out by having a mother like you is a matter of opinion.

Some of us think that passing on good values to our kids is the most important thing that we can do as parents.

We can only hope that their education has helped them to move away from the values that you presumably tried to pass on to them.

He has a criminal record. A lot of countries don’t like that even if they don’t have a blanket ban.

His rap sheet from things that aren't even remotely political is enough to get him banned from pretty well every country in the world, including as it does multiple counts of assault, stalking, mortgage fraud, and using a fake passport (which definitely does not go down well with immigration officials anywhere).

Of course, the "political" stuff (contempt of court, twice — one of which he pleaded guilty too, the day after launching a crowdfunder to pay for his defence) is unjustifiable too, but the guy is also a full-on lawless thug when he's not being a martyr trying to "save are country".

He is only able to travel to and from his patriotic British home in <checks notes> Spain because he has an Irish passport and so has full freedom of movement — EU states can't stop any EU citizen entering unless they make a very specific order via a court (as the UK government did for Geert Wilders in 2009). One of the genuine arguable benefits of Brexit is that the UK can now keep undesirable Europeans out much more easily.

Anyway, I expect Mr Yaxley-Lennon to be the guest of honour at the White House before Christmas.
