Due to Covid, I hadn’t caught that in Feb Tommy Robinson flew to Russia to hold a “press conference” &was hosted by sanctioned Putin mouthpiece, Alexander Malkevich. Tommy’s new film “Rape of a Britain” features his speech in St Petersberg. A very bad move https://bylinetimes.com/2020/02/23/rape-of-britain-russia-rolls-out-red-carpet-for-tommy-robinson/">https://bylinetimes.com/2020/02/2...
I’ve been more vocal on the (grooming) gangrape of underage girls, disproportionately by Pakistani & Muslim British men, than most. Yet no amount of righteous anger justifies cooperating with Kremlin propagandists, and a regime that does far worse & which is against our interests
And I’m sure my colleague @NickFerrariLBC would be horrified to learn that his image & his @LBC radio broadcasts are being used in what appears to me to be a Russian propaganda film, fronted by Tommy Robinson but backed by the sanctioned Putin-mouthpiece, Alexander Malkevich
Incoming! Russian bots firing at full cylinders, backed by some naive Tommy fans who can’t tell the difference between righteous anger &patriotism. I stand my ground. My nation comes before my politics. Knowingly working with Russian propagandists to push any point, is a red line
And to all those making excuses for why Tommy is now working with the Russian state, just stop. There’s always a “reason” for why anyone chooses to work with a hostile foreign state.

You’re making excuses for ... working with the Russian state.

It’s that simple.

Just stop.
To be fair to the man, since he’s banned from here & most other platforms, I’m posting his scathing reply, uncensored. It kinda speaks for itself.

And dear Tommy, my answer is:
no, thanks
