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 )

Thanks. I'll have to look into them and learn more, although i enjoy that i do learn quite a lot just from casually browsing mn. Smile

I read a book called White Riot a number of years ago about C18 and the extreme far right is populated with cranks and weirdos.
Back in the 80s I was shown photos from a Rock against Communism rally it contained pics of grown men dressed as Nazi brown shirts and SS officer's and a couple of Hitler's.
The National Front organiser for the area I lived in liked to spend his weekends with teenage Skinhead's,he was in his 40s he was later busted with child abuse imagery I think it was magazines.

Robinson has such a known drug problem - hopefully he’ll die of ‘natural causes’ before long

Ah, and I thought he was going to Colombia for the scenery and culture!

How does he manage to look both red faced and orange faced.

Ah yes Kisin from Triggernometry was the one that claimed Sunak couldn’t be English.

He said he was British as opposed to English… because of my heritage I’ve always called myself British too.

I think Rishi Sunak should be free to determine for himself. And that goes for anyone else.

🙈

Triggernometry used to be brilliant. Bringing logic, facts and intelligent insight into emotional arguments.

Now it is not. It's become the partisan, political, propaganda, tech bros thing it claims to oppose.Sad

It’s really unsettling to think about the kinds of people involved in these movements but such is life really. Those photos from the rally must have been a real shock and it’s disturbing - though not surprising - to hear about the organiser being a creep. It really shows the bizarre and troubling nature of some people.

The only good thing about Tommy Robinson is that he is extremely damaging to Reform. His allegiance to them does them no end of harm. The greater his presence on the political stage the worse Reform will do. He seems to be trying to reinvent himself as a moderate but he’s not.

He doesn't support Reform, he supports one of the offshoots, can't remember which.

I live in London, my experience is crime numbers have peaks and troughs.

Here are the numbers for crime in 2025 as compared to 2024:

  • Theft from a person from 25,272 to 21,937 (13%)
  • Robbery of personal property from 7,106 to 6,209 (13%)
  • Residential burglary from 7,974 to 7,144 (10%)

Nobody really bothers reporting theft anymore do they?

That's the one. Reform UK isn't quite fascist enough for Our Tommy.

Or Elon Musk. He has thrown his lot in with Tommy Robinson.

But given his Hitler salute, this shouldn't be that surprising.

Does TR realise Ben Habib is a Muslim who was born in Pakistan??

And the rapist Conor McGregor for president of Ireland.

But then he also supported Donald Trump...

Yes.

The real question is does Ben Habib realise he's being used and will be thrown under the bus by TR as soon as its convenient? You'd have thought he would have learned his lesson with Farage and Reform UK, the party he was "co-deputy-leader"🫠 of.

RoundandSad · 21/09/2025 00:29

Ben is Christian, but I don't understand why he let Tommy join the party

I feel like we are surrounded by really scary things

Yeah, it is really scary to think about the characters involved and I also thought that active patriot guy was a bot or something

I wonder what the convictions are

The other account linked to has got some scary stuff on it. They say they are uncovering abusive people, but there's a clip with a man who looks like he's agreeing because he doesn't understand English.

Do they hand them over to the police or just bully them and put the video online?

They just bully loads of people and put the ones they can spin, online.

Am I stupid?
I didn't know this was going on
there's one clip where they bully a man and they say he admits to being a paedophile but I think he's just nodding. Yes because he's surrounded by people who he thinks will attack him.

TooBigForMyBoots · 21/09/2025 00:45

No, you're not stupid. Far from it @RoundandSad. You recognise when stuff doesn't make sense and question it.Smile

TR is a product of where he grew up, he openly admits he was a football hooligan and enjoyed a punch up. Absolutely not something I agree with but it used to be part of the football culture across Europe, thankfully diminishing in recent years.

Have you seen the Stacey Dooley documentary she made 10+yrs ago about Luton? TR briefly features in it (slightly less red faced and wild eyed!

Piggywaspushed · 21/09/2025 06:35

Oh, get off. Plenty of young lads (and girls ) grew up perfectly nicely in Luton , many rubbing shoulders happily with its sizeable Asian community. He comes form Luton so it's OK is a crap excise. He literally founded the EDL.

There are also plenty of examples of people who knew TR, were embroiled in similar things and have not gone down the hateful path he has. In fact, the opposite.

I have family from Luton. Its vile what has happened there over the past 70 years. The indigenous culture irradiated, decimated. The locals aren't supposed to mind? Not a very middle class place of course so they can just be written off as knuckle-draggings racists.

The racism I regularly encounter on here is towards white working classes.
