I did notice Tommy Robinson was back in Court the other day, it seems the Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, has decided to prosecute Robinson on new charges relating to Contempt of Court which carry a sentece of up to 2 years. The trial is set for the 4th and 5th July, so even if he wins a seat in the Euroean Parliament he may well not be able to actually take his seat as a Member of the European Parliament.

What is this lovefest from American rightwingers for a British felon? Is it just because he shares their Islamophobia and bigotry?
blah blah bigotry blah blah blah......
When the police in a country are afraid to investigate grooming gangs that preyed on 1400 young girls over a period of seven years because they may be called "racist," something is wrong. Something is rotten.
They adore Putin and the Russkies because it is a white race nation. Interesting thing is that I have seen so many young Russian girls who have come here at a young age or born here of Russian parents dating black guys.
And your ilk hates Russia because it is a "white race nation."
Don’t know why you guys get so giddy about some British guy frothing at the mouth. He probably still thinks Britain is what it used to be. Fact is, Britain is a nation in decline...a fast and steep decline. Other European nations have surpassed it and left it in the dust. All Britain has that’s even worth talking about is military power and a decent banking sector. Its industrial base is long gone, and its middle class is one of the poorest and smallest in Europe.
Muslims didn’t do that to Britain. Hell, most Muslims probably live better than the average Anglo-Brit does. The UK is quickly becoming stratified into a society that’ll mirror most Latin American nations before long.
They can turn the country over to all the extreme right wing nut jobs in the UK. They can’t and won’t fix the problems. In fact, they’ll just exacerbate them.

Russia isn’t even worth hating. Most of it is backwards and dirt poor. Lol...talk about a dump.
To boot, it’s not even a “white race nation” as you describe it. Head east, and the people look like Mongols. Head south, and they look more Turkic than anything else. Russians have a dizzying array of different appearances and ethnic groups.
The population may be majority Caucasian in a technical sense, but it’s not a nation of Norwegian looking people.

Firstly Robinson isn't a mainstream politician, he doesn't represent any political party and is standing as an independent for the European Parliament, a parliament that has very little power (less than the House of Lords), generally has a low voting turnout across the UK and Europe, and which Britain is actually aiming to leave via Brexit.
Secondly most European countries have much significantly more powerful right wing parties and political figures than Britain does.
Thirdly Britain is actually a good place to do business and has thriving tech, bio-tech, pharma, aerospace and numerous other industries, as well as a very good financial services sector, and the country is not in decline, indeed Forbes have just voted London the best place to do business in the world. Whilst British cities, including those in the North have seen so much new investment it's incredible to see the transformation.
Finally, in terms of most political figures who want Brexit, they want Britain free from an ever increasing poilitical entity, which is increasing it's powers by stealth, and that is the main reason for Brexit and not Robinson or extremists on both the left and right. The truth is the US would not and indeed could not due to it's constitution and bill of rights join anything ike the EU, so there is nothing more hypocritical than Americans stating we should stay in the EU.
As for the Tory Party, they are currently at the start of a leadership battle, and it's likely that a Brexiteer will take over from May in a few weeks time.
Theresa May is likely tp go in the second week of June, when MP's will decide on two candidates and grass root local parties who are very Pro-Brexit will get the opportunity to vote for a new leader. One of the last things May will do is to meet with Trump during his official state visit to the UK from the 3rd to the 5th June.

Yeah...Britain is a great place to do business. You’re exactly right. And THAT’S part of the problem. It’s been a bonanza for the business class. For blue collar Brits, it’s been a nightmare. You simply can’t deny that the British middle class has shrank considerably and inexorably. You can’t stop the bleeding.
As for the tech, pharma and aerospace sectors, let’s not play games. You and I know that only a tiny number of people qualify for those jobs at any given period. The overwhelming majority of people that have lost jobs in traditional British industries don’t have the background for employment in those sectors.
Moreover, British wages are tenaciously stagnant for the middle class, and Britain is VERY expensive to live in. Yes, British wages have ticked up a bit recently, but not nearly enough to recover to pre-2008 levels. And wages weren’t even good THEN!!
Look, not picking on Britain. The United States has far worse issues than you guys do by a long shot. Every problem you have, we have too, only our version of it is on steroids (pardon the pathetic fallacy).
