UKIP were always the BNP in a (very long sleeved) suit, they`ve just reverted to a hoodie.
Robinson has convictions for assault, drugs and public order offences, and has been jailed for mortgage fraud and for using someone else’s passport to travel to the US. He is awaiting a decision on his contempt of court retrial, which was referred last month to the attorney general for review.
The other MEPs must look at him and be counting the days till he’s gone. And you thought it couldnt go any lower than “Dr’ Nutalls?Batten is on News 24 right now, he really is the nasty piece of work one would expect. A real thug.
As the linked article points out. Yaxley-Lennon is more than anything else, a convicted criminal.
Maybe Raheem Kassam or Gorka put a good word in with Trump?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.
Daniel Thomas, 29, has been instrumental in promoting “The Brexit Betrayal” march, a London demonstration in which the newly appointed Ukip advisor ‘Tommy Robinson’ is expected to speak on December 9.
In a picture tweeted by Gerard Batten on Friday, Thomas is photographed sat next to Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League, alongside the party leader.
Mr Batten tweeted: “Spent the afternoon planning Brexit Betrayal - Brexit Must Mean Exit March & Rally,” adding...
It's behind the Telegraph paywall, but enticing enough nonetheless. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politic...ip-brexit-demo-organiser-convicted-kidnapper/
UKIP said its ruling body had voted "overwhelmingly" against a motion of no confidence. However it said it did not endorse Mr Robinson's appointment.
He was barred from membership "through his associations", it added.
It can't happen here........can it?
...and the people with the will bought right into it, they f*ckin' lapped it up.It’s bizarre to think that this is the grubby little outfit that succeeded in bouncing a sitting Prime Minister into legislating a bent referendum on the biggest peace time matter in a generation, even such a chinless Prime Minister.
