I still think the comment should be deleted.

Agree.

The Tory plan - do have different sorts of money depending on how deserving you are would be a perfect case study for a cr*tocurrency.

Imagine the value of the £ in your pocket being dynamically adjusted depending on who you are. And we know the public will accept it, as they have already swallowed surge pricing. Which is another way of ensuring the Right Sort get ahead.

You’re most definitely highly educated.

placemats · 24/09/2026 12:24

It doesn't give a measure of affluent or highly educated, which is important. Highly educated people can also be poor economically, some may even be on the NMW. Ergo affluent people may not be highly educated but also have left wing political leanings.

This is not the first time one of his group has filmed themselves doing something and put it on their own social media while wearing masks to disguise themselves. They are not geniuses.

Captain Thugwash leader of the nonce bonnets is hilarious.

Isn’t he already on bail for something else. I’d hope the chances of him getting bailed again are fairly slim. The French might also like a word given it was one of their emergency workers he tried to kill.

So, I have a theory about this behaviour.

He and his fellow travellers saw how Tommy Robinson managed to set himself up as a sort of protestor/truth teller using the grooming gangs as an opportunistic stick to beat institutions. (Actual concern for women and girls in short supply, of course.)

Undermining institutions (not just employees or groups who may have messed up badly, whole policies, laws, legislation, etc) is the goal. The “alternative” is being presented as this vigilante, masked mob who want to be seen as martyrs who are just “standing up for Britain.”

The fact that they are increasingly looking more like football hooligans beating up or even attempting to murder ordinary “bedrock of society” British volunteers and undermining our country’s law and order is probably not part of an electoral plan, but it may be part of a broader intimidation one.

“Don’t disagree with using mob violence or we’ll come after you” is quite a striking approach for any political party to endorse. Is he clearly linked to Reform/Restore?

At least 5 Reform councillors signed up to 'Tommo's patriots'

Robinson has set up.a crowdfunder for Tommo. What a surprise!

countrygirl99 · 24/09/2026 14:21

Whenever I see they've posted a video of them doing something criminal I just think " there's the advert for the GoFundMe"

TemperanceWest · 24/09/2026 14:41

Someone has set this up. Genius.

Maybe they can raise £72,000,000

Bet Tommo is never seeing a penny of that.

So true.

BIossomtoes · 24/09/2026 17:05

I bet he isn’t either.

DuncinToffee · 24/09/2026 17:41

This is worrying

Tommo's supporters have been called to gather at the police station with the message "Dress code: all black/faces covered"

Apparently the patriots are all meeting outside Basingstoke police station at 6. Not sure what they think this will achieve other than more arrests. Although I’m guessing not much actual thinking was involved.

DuncinToffee · 24/09/2026 17:44

I think the Police can ask them to uncover their faces.

RafaistheKingofClay · 24/09/2026 17:48

These are the people Burnham wants to allow to drink in the stands again aren’t they?

DuncinToffee · 24/09/2026 17:54

They are probably banned from the stands but I don't think it needs bringing back.

You can always go to the women's game if you fancy a drink during the match.

Indeed, under a spectrum of various public order laws.
