So you don't even know who he is. Nice to know you've been following the news.
(Yaxley-Lennon/Tommy Robinson) - I said I didn't know who he was a few months ago - even the BBC say in October 2018 - "Who is he?"
I make no apologies for not wanting to listen to what he has to say - which explains why I haven't heard him speak.

I'm all too familiar with racism in EEurope. Having had to physically defend a UK colleague from a racist assault in an EEuropean country. We, two women, had to punch and kick our way to safety from some big pissed up blokes. My colleague got the worst of it because she was the target.Being a black woman.
No surprise to me.Not sure what you're point is.
If you are worried about the increase of racism in the UK - would you want to veto Montenegro joining the EU in 6/7 years time? The European Parliament Think Tank seem to think that Montenegro is on track to join the EU by 2025.

As for the ethnic makeup of the Commission.It's shit.Pale Male and Stale.Like much of Parliament.
Much of this thread concerns racism - yet you dismiss racism within the EU Commission itself with a throw away comment??
In the article I linked to - Syed Kamall, a British Conservative MEP of Indo-Guyanese origin and the first minority ethnic leader of a European parliament political group, says, “We are way ahead in the UK.Please don’t take this to say we are perfect, but relatively we are way ahead.”
Also, But campaigners have detected little enthusiasm from the European commission, the EU’s elite civil service.The commission’s latest diversity strategy had no targets for promoting minority ethnic people, while promising action to support women, disabled people, the LGBTI community and older employees. Shaped by French bureaucratic tradition, the commission does not collect data on race, ethnicity or religion on the grounds of éqalité.^ Convenient.

Perhaps you've forgotten the murder of Jo Cox.
Not at all - absolutely awful.
Quite why should I take responsibility for some psycho
But equally, you expressed no sympathy at all for the man who died - following a violent attack by a Remain voter, upset that his neighbour voted to Leave. I was shocked by the newspaper report, but apparently you don't care at all - because it has nothing to do with you.
