As the linked article points out. Yaxley-Lennon is more than anything else, a convicted criminal.

Almost as if Batten’s done this for publicity.
Almost as if the BBC has given it to him.

I couldn't understand how the hell he got a visa to do his speech tour in the US especially as he was convicted of entering the US illegally with a stolen passport.

A far right activist who claims to be one of the organisers of a Ukip rally and who attended a top level meeting with the party’s leader Gerard Batten has a conviction for attempted kidnap, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Batten has survived the no confidence vote, so things can only get more extreme. There were rumblings about Tommy, but they seem to have kept the 2 issues separate. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46422821
