Should Tommy Robinson be allowed into America.

[vinty]

As Tommy has been convicted of entering America illegally what are his chances of being allowed in again.
His fans in America have invited him over and he could take in a million quid giving speeches and personal appearances.

The right wing climate in the US will be welcoming of Yaxley-Lennon presently. Is he a good representative for the UK? No.
As a business decision, he would be stupid not to try. It could backfire but I doubt it will. As far as mainstream outlets are concerned, he is considered a 'toxic' individual. He appeals to the far right and rightly so.

However, the crux is that Yax is banned from the US.

No.

"WHO"
is he off any relevance to me ??

 

[charliegolf]

Yes, better the git is there than here!

Yes, better the git is there than here!

I'd normally agree with that type of sentiment. But with the current political climate he would get too much exposure and extremism support.

So the best answer is no. He broke the rules, deliberately, so should suffer the consequences. Otherwise what is the point of having rules?

 

[Bodd]

They will not let him in.

My mate got turned away states side and put on a flight back because of a minor record when he was young and nieve...

Years later got a visa from US embassy and was assured he will now be allowed to enter the US..

For a 2nd time he got put back on a flight home leaving his new wife in NY...

Utter garbage!
How will he make a million quid giving a few speeches?
Your believing the mainstream news that's all fired up to lie about him.

 

[vinty]

You could be right, the £1 million figure comes from the hope not hate charity which is an anti fascist group.
However there are other far right activists with a lower public profile than Tommy Robinson who have pulled in a million quid in donations and funding from followers and rich patrons.
I have read of decent working class guys making monthly donations to Tommy to fund his ''political activities' let's hope they aren't being ripped off.

He is not a criminal. He was wrongly imprisoned and tortured by left wing Marxist partisans. He's a British patriot who wants to make Brits aware that their freedoms are being taken away. He's a modern day hero. He's a target of Soros funded MSM.

Your rose-tinted specs are on too dark, stopped you from seeing the truth.

"Robinson was jailed for assault in 2005, has convictions for drugs offences and public order offences, was jailed in 2012 for illegally entering the United States using a false passport and jailed again in 2014 for a £160,000 mortgage fraud."

And that's not taking into account the recent stuff.

Facts clearly don't matter to you.

Let he who is innocent cast the first stone.

All those offences he served time for. Time served and now a free man, not a criminal.

The 'recent' stuff carries no clout at all. He was falsely imprisoned and tortured by the state and is owed not just an apology but reperations.
