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 don’t need to. I don’t need to explain my thoughts on here - only to be annihilated because you disagree. Sorry - but no.

If you are concerned that your thoughts and beliefs can be annihilated so easily, wouldn't you be better examining the evidence around them yourself. That way you can either demonstrate to yourself that you have sound reasons for your thoughts, and you won't be annihilated because you can support your thoughts, or you will gain an understanding of why your thoughts are so easily challenged, and maybe grow as a person.

So he’s a migrant then?!

Ex-pat. Different, innit?

Hyperbole much?

Stop imagining things that don't exist is my advice.

noblegiraffe · 21/09/2025 12:48

People have tried to annihilate me before for my posts. They even campaigned to get me banned from MN. But you can't 'annihilate' someone who is factually correct and knows what they are talking about.

Fair enough - I do see your point and understand what you are saying.
However, and no bad intentions meant , but some leftwing opinions and thoughts can be viewed as “ woke” .

For example , through specific posts on SM and on other platforms - not just on this site - may be interpreted and seen this way.

People’s opinion are all subjective and differ - which we’re all entitled to have 🤷‍♀️

Yes I understand that's what some people do but that's the point. Woke is misused in those cases. Woke shouldn't be co-opted and attributed to something people see as wrong.

For example: In the right context of woke, are feminists "woke" when talking about women's rights and misogyny? Yes. Is that a bad thing then? No.

Are people being "woke" when pointing out racism? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No.

Are people being woke when calling out classism, ageism, ableism, etc? Yes.

So why use "woke" to imply negative opinions when it's supposed to be an empowering stance? It makes one out to be trying to shut down and strip marginalised groups of their opinions and right to be aware of and call out issues.

I believe it's not your intention, as you've said, and it's fair to disagree with opinions but that's what it conveys when using "woke" to do so.

noblegiraffe · 21/09/2025 12:57

Dismissing things as 'woke' is merely the new 'political correctness gone mad'.

It's turning 'you shouldn't be racist' into 'you can't say blackboard'.

So we're stuck with him? 😞

He doesn’t actually live here. Ironically he is an immigrant to Tenerife.

noblegiraffe · 21/09/2025 13:18

Anyway, 'woke' isn't the opposite to what Tommy Robinson preaches and stands for.

Nigel Farage is opposed to Tommy Robinson and his ideas. His refusal to agree with Elon Musk about Robinson is why Musk is now posting against Farage as leader of Reform and saying that he is weak and that the UK should support Habib and his new party with Robinson.

And dare try calling Nigel Farage woke!

I’m not concerned about the vipers . I just don’t want to share my thoughts .
I don’t have to justify it and shouldn’t be singled out repeatedly about it.

And fyi, no, I definitely do not need to “ grow “ as a person and don’t appreciate your patronising attitude towards me , thanks all the same 👍

That's where we differ. In my opinion anyone who claims not to need to grow as a person, definitely does need to grow.

I cannot imagine being so closed minded that growth and development are written off as arrogant.

Fatandfluffy · 21/09/2025 14:07

@IstillloveKingThistle if you don’t want to voice an opinion perhaps you could leave the thread as it’s getting filled up with your repeatedly saying you’re not going to tell anyone what you think which is….odd to say the least.

The same! I only know him by TR, didn’t know half of his convictions. Had never heard of Stephen Yaxley whatever it is. The links have been horrifying. I had no clue about the 88 bus either. I’m now even sadder he’s allowed to visit here. And that there seems to be so many of them.

The 88 was a new one to me as well, didn't know what 88 meant in relation to Nazi.
Wow - eye opening and not in a good way.

Falseknock · 21/09/2025 14:22

If @Petitchat and other posters who are using black and Asian people who attended the protest with TR. I will be happy to give you a history lesson. How dare you posters use vulnerable ethnic minority groups to make a point.

If you don't have a say then you are part of the problem in enabling abuse and violence against migrants. If they looked white no one would know where they come from this is the issue.

That's why it's a dogwhistle. Most decent people are oblivious and it only reaches the people it is intended to and people around Robinson can say 'what, mate, it's a bus, what are you on about?'.

They're laughing at us.

Thankfully, though, more people are laughing at them.

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.

I just want to point out , all these hours later that I reported this post to MN for racism.

Approximately 10 posters have picked up on this afterwards so we all agree.

Yet, MNHQ did not see fit to delete it.
