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 )

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.

You do realise the person who (allegedly) shot Kirk was a right wing Trump supporter don’t you? Did you miss that news too?

If you’re British I’d also suggest you focus more on what’s happening if this country before the right wing racists take over here too

Thought agility here.

Might I suggest that you gain an understanding of how the British legal system works before you embarrass yourself further.

it’s good, but I object to the use of the word ‘documentaries’.

Steven doesn’t make anything resembling a documentary. If anything they are closer to dramas, seeing as they are almost entirely made up.

Do you know how justice systems work? You don’t get found not guilty because you plead not guilty. Are you for real? Where are you getting your news? Telegram?!

That’s not how it works.

Plenty of murderers and rapists behind bars who plead not guilty.

However that kind of hatred and incitement of violence is
never acceptable whoever says it - I wish people would stop equating freedom of speech for freedom to incite violence on every side tbh

Hang on… you think he was found not guilty because he pleaded not guilty? Do you have literally any idea at all how the criminal justice system actually works?

ByDearBear · 20/09/2025 18:38

This man is a hateful little twerp. He needs to crawl back under his slimy rock.

Kazza26Mc · 20/09/2025 18:42

He IS a grifter, and 'economical with the truth' but not a racist...did you see the all different cultures at the UTK demo ? Ive never seen the 'nazi' thing. Over a million people at his last event, so seems you may be in the minority. Could we deport Nick Lowles from 'No Hope Just Hate' instead please ?!

Oh God, I didn't spot this. And we aren't allowed to use the S word when describing SYL supporters.

Bernardo1 · 20/09/2025 18:43

Why didn't he go to the U.S. thought he was very popular there?

He could stay at Mar a largo, sure Trump would find a nice job for him, if he wanted to stay.

PandoraSocks · 20/09/2025 18:44

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

Hmm. Thinking about it, you may have a point @5128gap . Maybe it was deliberate.

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.

It's an interesting theory and you are right that he's not stupid, he is arrogant though. I would generally treat anything he posts with a massive amount of scepticism, but I'm not sure in this case. Would he have been confident that Columbia would stop him coming in and agree to let him fly to Panama and been confident that Panama would deport him? He also doesn't strike me as the kind of person who has the patience to voluntarily spend that much time sitting on planes or in immigration detention, but who knows if he thought it would help his cause or someone was funding him to do it.

It doesn't matter how many times you claim there were a million people at the march, it will never be true.

Doubt he can. Got caught using a false passport but sneaked in!! Prob regarded as undesirable now

So others agree but most of their names are not on the thread.
I suspect they feel it is too nasty and vile a thread, to join in?

itsgettingweird · 20/09/2025 18:54

There were about 100-110k from reports.

The nazi thing was a SM post posted advertising the march with a number 88 bus in the picture. The number 88 is used to indicate nazis.

Don't need to see it live. It's in your history books, in films and museums. The template doesn't change only the characters.
