I don’t want to go into the politics of the EDL we did that thread a few weeks ago. I do have one question, where does Tommy Robinson get his income? It said he used to run a plumbing business, he has been jailed but still seems well dressed etc, anyone know.
Wild smash in the dark that ton or have you got proof?
Last documentary I saw him on he had a tanning-shop…All the tanning-shop owners near to me run about in flash motors so I would say that’s where he gets his money, that and donations.
Well, he doesn’t seem as thick as the vast majority of neanderthals who comprise the EDL membership, so I’d suspect he’s managed to get by quite comfortably on party ‘donations’ for the last few years, and if he’s got any sense, has spirited away some of those funds for a rainy day.
Any backing evidence that TR is a racist is also welcome…
It’s confusing to ascertain exactly what Tommy Robinson is, given that he choses to hang out with Zionist extremists, white supremacist neo Nazis, anti Semites and more recently, even Muslims. What is clear, is that he is confused, angry, frustrated, violent and hateful young man who has chosen to direct his ire towards Islam and Muslims in general. Maybe he got bored with beating up women.
It will be interesting to see whether a violent thug can be rehabilitated into a positive member of society. Maybe he has seen the light, who knows. Maybe it’s all just a cynical publicity stunt. We’ll see.
Oh,as a side note,he’s quite an interesting violent thug,in that he has got to his advanced age without being able to decide who he hates most,hence him hanging about with seemingly random other violent thugs.

That is the beauty of PC gone mad it means even the racists have to speak of cultures and other things to make sure their message is not racist. It must hurt to know you have lost to such an extent you cannot even say what you really mean – does it?
Hopefully he is having an epiphany, I am not convinced as yet, hopefully you will too
So where you shopping these days ?
The Muslasmic Ray Guns thing always made me laugh; then I found out he was trying to say Islamic Rape gangs – if someone more with it said that there are a few areas were they could really stir up trouble before anyone actually bothered to investigate… oh, they did…
I actually wonder if this is just the first steps in preparation for trying to get into politics proper. The EDL isn’t a political party but if they had a party that represented their raison d’être then I’m sure it would do better than the BNP.
Of course we all know proper political parties espouse peace etc. even when they have close ties with thugs and murderers.

This is a very good point, Tommy Robinson left the BNP when he found out that black people weren’t allowed to join.
Mind you, it took him a year of BNP membership before he discovered this shocking revelation, something which most people might have concluded after their first party meeting.
I saw the programme last night and I have to say that I was left fairly convinced that he was being genuine. And of course this sort of transformation from being a bigot to a liberal is hardly new and has occurred throughout history, an obvious recent example is Matthew Collins of Hope not Hate.
I did find him not wanting to see his old mate Mo Ansar a little strange.
And I’ve also always been highly suspicious of Quilliam, which appears to me as some sort of dodgy Blairite front organisation.
So I’ll wait and see how this plays out before being totally convinced of Robinson’s Road To Damascus miraculous conversion.
ton – So the eye-rolling was sarcasm? If ive misread your comments then i sincerely apologise. 🙂
Junky – your twittering as usual…
PS – i heard Tommy buys his stone-island gear off of MO’s bro’s market stall but its not real so much cheaper – PS I have no proof of that so take with the pinch of salt all the other snippets of mellow-dramatic speculation on this here thread.

I’m guessing because as Press TV is Iranian, it proves that the clip must have been tampered with in some way to make the EDL supporter look incredibly stupid.
Surely no one who supports the EDL can be that stupid ?
Yep, the whole thing was probably staged managed by the Iranian government. I bet the Iranian government even organised the EDL march. Just to discredit the EDL.
Having seen the “infamous” Robinson-Paxman interview, he doesn’t seem particularly stupid, but just so pissed off that his mouth is moving ten times faster than his brain. It’s maybe not surprising that he lost the incoherent Muslim-baiting once he calmed the flip down. Just weird that it took him so long to get there.
Because PressTV found the stupidest, drunkest, most incoherent idiot they could(not an easy task in the circumstances) in order to maximise the effect of the end product, that being propaganda.
I don’t usually like propaganda, for obvious reasons. But this case does seem to be an exception.
Having witnessed a few EDL ‘demonstrations’, I’d say the bloke in that video is fairly representative of the average EDL member. Tommy Robinson may be a touch more intelligent than most of them (really not very difficult), but he’s still an ignorant, uneducated, hateful violent thug. Perhaps he’s now a bit less ignorant, hateful and violent. Who knows? Only time will tell.
can i just ask, does anyone on here think that it is possible to agree with some of the stuff edl and mr robinson stand for, but not be a mindless racist thug?
