I'm not prepared to make any assumptions about the man based upon the constant withering fire of spin against him which I notice, but nor do I know enough about him or his views to support him. What I do know is that if he is widely seen as a victim of a privileged political elite which has already ignored a democratic vote and tried to enforce its will against a democratic outcome, that may lead to trouble .
That's a very Wales Bales like final paragraph there I must say.

If you are able to interpret what surge said as implying that "the deprived and disenfranchised don't care about the country", then I feel it's perfectly reasonable to conclude that your use of the word "spin" tells us an awful lot about your real feelings concerning the person who calls himself Tommy Robinson - that's if "the victim of a privileged political elite" was not a big enough hint.

Besides being an apparent victim, it seems that Robinson is very unfortunate in the company he keeps or, perhaps, all of the links below are just fake news?

One other thing, the question in the Referendum was just a straight yes or no one, there was nothing about the kind of Brexit it should be. Therefore, with that in mind, it should be said that we probably could have left the EU on 29 March as planned if the likes of the Brexit ultras in the Conservative Party and the DUP had accepted the negotiated withdrawal agreement - are they the "privileged political elite" you talk of? It's hard to argue that a democratic vote is being ignored when there have been three attempts to pass something that would enable that vote and a negotiated departure is still the policy of the two main parties in Parliament.
