Tommy Robinson is marching through London again today. He presents himself as a patriot, a journalist, and a victim of the establishment. But in reality he is a serial criminal with a rap sheet two decades long. Here’s the record he’d rather you didn’t read. 🧵

🚨 Right now, Tommy Robinson is in London claiming to speak for us. It’s the ultimate distraction from the very real problems we face. But we know the truth: migrants aren’t the problem, far-right billionaires are. ✊ Share this post to make it clear: Tommy Robinson does not speak for us.
A graphic on a black background featuring large, bold text at the top that reads, "ROBINSON & MUSK ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS." The word "NOT" is highlighted in bright red, while the rest of the text is in a light cream color.

In the center of the image are the floating heads of two men: Tommy Robinson on the left and Elon Musk on the right.

At the bottom of the graphic, smaller white text reads: "Hate won’t pay our rent. Division won’t fix the NHS."
