oh the irony, the number of Brexiters seeking to run off to the sun in the EU to escape the ravages of Brexit. Makes me quite angry and I do hope he is turned down for residency.

Callistemon Wed 29-Jul-20 18:04:44

But I thought he was against refugees and immigrants?

confused

There doesn't seem to be anything on here to suggest his flight is to escape the ravages of Brexit.

Chewbacca Wed 29-Jul-20 17:48:02

And I still haven't found out why Tommy Robinson is seeking asylum.
biba70, please could you confirm where you got this from as there's nothing in the media at all to support this? I want to know if he'll be claiming refugee status in Spain!

I can't decide should I celebrate because he's gone? Or commiserate with my Spanish brothers and sisters because they have to put up wih him now?

I’ve asked GN to change the title of this thread before they get sued.

Well done

I didn't see the original title, thankfully, as I'd have been very worried. Baldrick deserting a sinking ship. He couldn't, he's an institution.

Spain has more sense, surely?
But we don't want him back so perhaps we could start a petition to keep him there.

I am a supporter of Tommy but, yes, I do agree, it's quite ironic. Not sure of the truth about his wife's house being set on fire but I see no criticism of that crime on here, if it is true!

Blimey! Very brave of you to admit supporting such a racist and facist. There aren’t many would admit to that.

Spain’s not far enough.... now if the moon had a flight going
I d help him onto it and even pay his fare
He’s a far right racist and extremely violent nasty piece of goods I think bigoted is not strong enough to describe him more like spawn of the devil

Chewbacca Wed 29-Jul-20 16:40:25

Sorry for my ignorance....but who is Tommy Robinson?

A bigoted man. Google him.

He won't be short of English speaking subjects of his ilk there !

Quizqueen is a supporter of Tommy Robinson? Well, who would have guessed? ?

Chewbacca Wed 29-Jul-20 15:28:25

To be fair I've only seen one post that's said that they support him, all the rest have been condemnatory.

We are always being told there are no right wing extremists on GN, but I don't know what else I would call someone who claims to be a suppporter of Tommy Robinson.

I can think of loads, but my posts would be deleted.

I wonder if the upcoming libel case against him is the reason the property is in his wife’s name? I also wonder if he speaks, or will learn to speak, Spanish?
I seem to remember him asking Donald Trump for political asylum last year, which was presumably refused. I haven’t seen him asking Spain for asylum, so maybe he’s just moving there ‘for his own safety’.Who knows?

Apparently he's eligible for an Irish passport. If he has one, he's still an EU citizen, so would have the right to live in Spain. Oh the irony!

^Where is there anything on^ this thread about him being an asylum seeker?

In the title of the OP?

Oh yes! Sorry! I need to go to Barnard Castle! blush

maddyone Wed 29-Jul-20 13:48:26

I’m glad he’s gone, Spain or wherever is welcome to him.

I don't know what to make of this thread! The title refers to the wrong man and when I've searched for Tommy Robinson, I can only find that he's gone abroad and is seeking to relocate because he believes his family are no longer safe in the UK.

I can't find anything about him going anywhere as an asylum seeker? Am I looking in the wrong places? --good riddance to him wherever he's going--

Where is there anything on this thread about him being an asylum seeker?

I can't do a link, but he's issued a video of claims that he's not safe. He's a professional victim. There's no evidence of the attack he claims. If he's punched a few times, he deserves it and has incited enough violence in his time.

I couldn’t care less one way or another.

timetogo2016 Wed 29-Jul-20 13:41:38

Well lets hope he stays there,if they let him that is.
