Putting all the other awfulness aside how can you support a man guilty of domestic violence.

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!

In what way are you a supporter of this man Quizqueen?

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

I wonder if he'll acknowledge that he's an immigrant. Considering his criminal background, I hope Spain doesn't deport him back to where he came from.

Apparently he's lied about the reason too. He claims his house was subject to an arson attack.

1 No such attack has been reported to the police.
2 The house is now in his wife's name (apparently they're about to separate/divorce)
3 He's on the verge of losing a court case and will probably be landed with hefty legal costs, which will be more difficult to get back if he's in Spain.

Spain is welcome to him. Apparently, he's eligible for an Irish passport, which he might or might not have, so he could be an EU citizen. If that's the case, I hope his supporters can see what a hypocrite he is.

Yes, corrected- but no idea how to correct title- thanks

Think you have to contact GNHQ to get title changed.

biba70.....you need to take care to get your facts right before you go sounding off about someone. It's TOMMY Robinson who has fled abroad.

Is there a link for this Biba?

Lawson wanted to go to his house in France /turned down by authorities. Farage wanted German nationality for him and kids, Stanley wants to go to Greece ... in a way, let them go, we would be well rid. But !

Oops of course- sorry, typo- Yaxley-Lemon what's his face ...

so what do you think about his move to Spain?

lemongrove Wed 29-Jul-20 12:08:16

Oh....you mean Tommy Robinson.

lemongrove Wed 29-Jul-20 12:07:39

Tony Robinson.....Baldrick??

Whitewavemark2 Wed 29-Jul-20 12:07:33

Who on earth would want him? Apart from Farage supporters I suppose.

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.
