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 )

I wonder if the British Government had a word with the Colombian Government, maybe they sent them a list of his convictions.........Would not surprise me. TR was banned because he was a "National Threat to the country" and a threat to "Citizen coexistence" ...... how did they come to this conclusion? Does anybody know it Colombia bans everyone with a criminal record of any sort?

They probably just googled his name and found the list.

2005: Jailed for assault occasioning actual bodily harm (12 months)
2011: Community order for football brawl (12 months)
2013: Travelling on another man's passport to the USA (jailed for 10 months)
2014: Mortgage fraud (jailed for 18 months)
May 2017: Contempt of Court finding, three months jail suspended for 18 months
July 2019: Jailed for nine months for interfering with a grooming gang trial in Leeds.
July 2021: Loses defamation case and ordered to pay Syrian refugee £100,000
July 2024: Fails to attend Contempt of Court hearing for allegedly repeating false claims about the refugee
Other offences: Possession of drugs, threatening behaviour and breach of court order

What makes you think that black and brown people would enjoy a racist rally?

I don't doubt that there were some black and brown people there, and they will have had their own reasons for being there, whatever those reasons might be.

But I can't really see how spending the day on a racist march would have been enjoyable for them. Unless they're into masochism or something, I guess.

"You can visit Colombia for up to 90 days without a visa for business or tourism, at the discretion of the Colombian immigration officer on arrival"

So no need for the UK to have a word. The immigration officer could simply have decided to send him back.

I think TR is actually on a flight home to the UK probably smiling and laughing his head off right now. Even if he did not plan to be banned from entering Colombia or Panama, it has turned into an incredible and very clever PR stunt..... He has got the attention of the whole world and especially the USA. Given what has just happened in the USA - Charlie Kirk murdered because people kept saying again and again and again and again that he was a racist, a nazi, far right activist, a misogynist. So many people have since said they are so happy he died! I really wish we could all calm down, all this hate is not going to solve anything. I am sure TR gets hundreds of death threats every day......are some of you only going to be happy if something really horrible happens to him and he is no longer here?

Some of his followers are calling for the assasination of the UK Prime Minister, are you as worried about him as you are about TR?

A bit embarrassing for you. It was on the news.

This is what we have to contend with - uneducated and ill informed people have no resistance to the lies and false info criminals like SYL posit. I don’t really know what the answer is.

It’s very noble of you to speak up on behalf of Asians against other Asians like me, but do you not think your time would be better served speaking up about Tommy Robinson calling Muslims ‘muzzrats’?

Yes sorry I must have missed that bit of news. Concentrating on other bits of news like Charlie Kirk actually being shot.
But it seems there are people on both sides that call for others to be killed such as Ricky Jones, a labour councillor who called for far-right activists' throats to be cut at an anti-racism rally ....... he was arrested too, but because he pleaded not guilty , he was not found guilty of encouraging violent disorder by a jury.

But he’s neither of those things.

I have heard of criminals using fake names, though, so as you were.

Whatever shit name he goes by, he’s still a racist, paedo-supporting, woman-beating grifter.

Er... no.

Because Ricky Jones pleaded not guilty, his case came to court and he was found not guilty by a jury.

And because I think you might be about to start in on 'two tier justice' - the people sentenced for their crimes pleaded guilty, because they were caught on camera or had posted screeds of racist incitement to violence online.

Facts matter.

They can deport him to my house. I would be glad to have him. I understand his agenda and he is only frightening to idiots who are so blind they cannot see what he is trying to do. Disagree all you like with me but there are millions of us, not only here in this country but around the world who agree. He is my hero, always has always will be.

This has to be the absolute most hilarious thing I have ever read in my life. And who are these millions by the way. What majority. The delusion is absolutely real here.

Not a single person saying how terrifying it is that there's no free speech anymore and that being patriotic and protesting against immigration gets you barred from places? And that its The Left silencing people? You wait. I'll bet my house there will be.

Show quote history

Tommy Robinson is no patriot. He is, however, an immigrant.

I do agree that he's not totally stupid. He lives it up in his villa in Spain, can afford expensive holidays and a coke habit all funded by the really stupid people.

Thank you. And thank you @nomas
I obviously have been unclear. I'm saying that, while on the surface this seems an amusing example of being hoist by his own petard, the incident is not a laughing matter as I believe it will serve to strengthen him.
Whether this was a stunt (which I believe, because the timing is too convenient) or genuine, it will not harm TRs cause.
The extreme right have had a lot to say this week. Not just about immigration and their idea of patriotism, but also about free speech, with a narrative that 'The Left' are conspiring to silence them. This would be the same Left who are his vocal opposition.
TR will capitalise on this fully to ramp up fear that we're living in dangerous times, when simply protesting about immigration and loving ones country is punished, and that any one who cares about the right to speak and protest should be very worried by this 'left wing threat' and look to his faction as the alternative. People will believe him.
Whether this opportunity has been orchestrated by him (as I believe) or fallen into his lap through his 'stupidity' (I don't believe he is stupid) he will gain from it. And I don't think that's funny.
