Tommy Robinson UKIP Adviser

[M Testa]

very much coked up. there are unsubstantiated rumours about money laundering from coke profits in early EDL days and he's fucked a few 'appearances' up by being off it. on some of his videos he is obviously in furious coke sweat rant mode. embarrassing. thanks fuck he didnt get in but he got quite a few votes but didnt meet the %.

 

[M Testa]

Apparently a result in the North West - 38,900 votes, 2.2%, lost deposit... but I'll take small mercies tonight.

yes, me too.

He got a lot of publicity and following his "martyrdom". In march he was addressing adoring crowds of thousands outside parliament. He clearly thought he was on a roll. But in the end all he got was the baseline bonehead vote - pretty humiliating id say. He got milkshaked by the voters.
Its interesting that immigration and evil muslamic refugees didn't feature in the debate around Euro campaign - and Yaxley Cokehead's attempts to steer it that direction clearly fell on deaf ears. That is grounds for some small optimism id say.

Maybe, although in a different (more typical) context he'd have likely picked up more votes - can only speculate but fair to assume a lot of his potential base voted brexit party

Absolutely - the celebrations from hope not hate et al that he'd been seen off by their campaigning is total bollocks as a result - he was crushed by electoral forces beyond his or their control. If anything I'd imagine the hnh campaign may have motivated a few thousand who wouldn't have voted otherwise to vote for Robinson.

HnH strategy of encouraging local media to blackball coverage also bit errr - understand rationale but so much of his appeal is as an outsider, against the establishment, common sense political martyr. Might be being harsh there, a tricky one tbf

 

[Proper Tidy]

Also low votes aside, his/their strategy of campaigning in estates and tight w/c communities is dangerous (for us) and what 'we' should be doing

I'd have thought that the coverage and possible networks built up would have been a positive thing for him. I'd certainly have thought that if it was a left wing campaign. But this prick doesn't seem to see it that way. I take some comfort in that.

 

[killer b]

I dunno, if part of your shtick is about kicking against the rigged system, more evidence of the system being rigged is just grist to the mill.

Hate to sound like I'm even slightly defending that little arsehole but his 2nd vote calls in that article are clearly him taking the piss out of the 2nd ref crowd

in a different context all sorts of different things could have happened. But what did happen is that he got humiliated after a year of steadily building momentum and exposure for his brand of racist shit stirring. So what if him being banned from facebook and twitter and ignored by the rest of the media supports his narrative of being persecuted by the establishment for "telling the truth"? It didn't do him any good. The farage floating back up the political u-bend may well have fucked him.

I wasn't talking about him being banned from social media, I was referring to HnH lobbying local print and digital media to not cover his campaign at all, either positively or negatively. Not sure whether that was good or bad move, but it does feed his image of anti establishment crusader.

But anyway. Maintain view that, given dominance of BP with obvious appeal to his natural constituency, his vote share was neither surprising nor humiliating

 

[Serge Forward]

To be fair he is persecuted a bit. But there's a reason... he's a cunt.

The Lancashire Post has apologised for a report on TR's Preston’s Ashton Park.

“But did we get everything right on Monday night? In a word, no. Many of those complaining were concerned we had overestimated the numbers of people present on Ashton Park. And we should have made it clear that it was an estimate. “We reported the crowd numbered 600, many of those complaining said it was more like 100. Lancashire Police put the figure at 200.

“This is important as the figure is an indication of Robinson’s popularity every bit as relevant as his claim to have pulled his largest crowd of his campaign in Preston. We also upset people with the suggestion that it must have been ‘galling’ for the organisers of the protest in the city centre to have drawn 40 people.

“It may well have been galling to them – it may well not have been – but that was an opinion and in a factual news report there’s no place for opinion and we apologise for that aberration.”

Scuffles broke out in the centre of Portsmouth today after groups of football casuals marched through a protest against the US president’s presence in the city during D-Day commemorations. A few dozen men marching behind a banner with the crest of Portsmouth Football Club at the centre of a Union flag chanted ‘scum, scum, scum’ as they arrived midway through speeches by trade unionists and others who had organised a gathering of a few hundred people in the city’s Guildhall Square.

Police stepped in as the men scattered and tried to square up to those in the protest, who broke into chants of ‘nazi scum off our streets.Amid some pushing and shoving, one man with a US flag wrapped around his waist grabbed one of the protest placards and snapped after waving part of it around.The group then adjourned to a pub as the rally continued with speakers evoking the sacrifice of D Day veterans who had fought to liberate Europe from nazism.

Minor scuffles in Portmouth as Football 'casuals' walked into an Anti-Trump protest, but not good for the veterans to see their day messed up either way.
