So am hearing on Twitter and elsewhere that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson has joined the Conservative Party is urging his followers to do the same.
I have concerns about this as I don’t think these people have any place in a modern society no matter who is the ruling political party.
I know Clare Khaw (look her up if you have never heard of her) was rejected within two weeks of joining because of her far right extreme views. The Conservative Party at that time took a firm stance and she was on Twitter and elsewhere ranting about her exclusion.
This was some time ago though and I am hoping the current rules still preclude people like this and “Tommeh” from joining.
Am I right in my thinking? It’s just that there seems to have been such a surge in the Far Right from the days of Britain First spreading mis-information until they were finally shut down.
Katie Hopkins has already targeted Baroness Warsi with a photo of a letterbox in response to one of Baroness Warsi’s tweets and a caption about posting Christmas cards. I cannot for the life of me understand why Katie Hopkins still has a Twitter account to share this kind of nonsense.
Surely the Conservative Party won’t want these people will they?
