    I wish that was true. I live in the South Wales valleys, and a significant number of people here think that he’s a man of the people who’s standing up for them and their rights. Tommy Robinson too :(

      All he has to do is put on wellies every now and then and attend the odd farmers protest and everyone thinks he’s some kind of saint.

      All this despite the fact that he never turns up to parliament and has still not converted reform into an actual political party despite saying he would do so “in the next few weeks” over a year ago. I despair of the human race.

        Don’t forget that when he ‘represented’ us in the EU parliament, he barely turned up to work, and let the UK fishing rights get taken away, then protested with the fishermen!

      Stephen Yaxley-Lennon or whatever posh name that guy has. Wasn’t he ordering riots on a pool deck in Cyprus or something?

        How dare you dox poor old tiny Tommeh like that! He was working hard from his lilo before the loony left outed him!

        For anyone reading this who’s out of the loop, Tommy Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, provoked and organised riots in the UK, but while the perpetrators were being arrested, he took his family away on a foreign holiday ‘for their safety’.

          I thought he was already on holiday when it was all kicking off?

            Ah, possibly, it’s been a while. Either way, he was one of the main organisers / agitators, and acted like a victim when it was pointed out that he was perfectly safe on holidays while the muppets who followed him were getting arrested.

              Then he got locked up for being a lying bag of shite. Well he was first proven in court to be a lying piece of shite, and then refused to stop being, you guessed it, a lying sack of shite, so they locked him up for contempt of court.

              He’s currently crying that his mental health is suffering from being locked up in solitary during his time inside. They have to keep him in solitary because there are a lot of people inside that want to skullfuck his twitching corpse, apparently.

              Personally, I’m good either way. Let the fucker suffer the consequences of his abhorrent actions.

              Edit: Worth pointing out that during this whole time, he continues to spew the exact set of lies that got him where he is, as if he has the sway to make it reality. He’d be hilarious if he wasn’t such a dangerous influence on the truly fucking stupid amongst us.
