John Plunkett. Updated July 28th, 2020

You’ve probably seen that Tommy Robinson, AKA Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has claimed he has been forced to leave the UK because he doesn’t feel safe here after an alleged arson attack on his wife’s home.

The former EDL leader is reportedly in Spain and is said to be looking to set up home permanently abroad.

And it generated no end of responses as you might imagine. Here are our 13 favourites.

Tommy Robinson, a man who slags off refugees for a living, has fled the country claiming “ I didn’t feel safe in my own country anymore”.

Hey Siri, define ‘refugee’?

Tommy Robinson feels his family are at risk in this country. So he is relocating to another country to ensure they are safe and can thrive. Finding a house. Putting his children into schools. Hoping to give them a better life.

Let. That. Sink. In.

Also anyone else find it ironic how Tommy Robinson spent him time endlessly abusing refugees and now he has gone to another country for safety?

I really hope Tommy Robinson’s just emigrating and not part of a racist exchange programme.

I hope the people of Spain extend ‘Tommy Robinson’ the same warmth and understanding as he’s always extended to those seeking to make a better life for themselves in the UK.

So Tommy Robinson who has made his entire career about demonising people fleeing their home countries due to fear of violence – he is now fleeing his home country due to fear of violence AND does videos expecting us all to feel sorry for him

The man is a next level charlatan

He changed his name from Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to Tommy Robinson to hide his Irish immigrant parents, now he’s a refugee in Spain, perhaps Juan Kerr?

Wait, so Tommy Robinson is a refugee now? Also, does he realise Spain is filled with all those foreigner types he’s not too keen on? What next? Katie Hopkins moving to Dubai?

To be fair to Tommy Robinson, he has persuaded me to his way of thinking a bit. I was all about helping refugees, but now he’s one, I’m really not so sure anymore.
