What next for Tommy Robinson?

Good for him. Maybe he didn't actually intend to start a new National Front, or maybe he's just grown up & realised there are better ways to deal with radical islamists.

The knuckleheads swelled the ranks and gave them a voice but were always going to be their undoing in terms of anyone ever taking them seriously.

 

Best not to be too smug though. We don't know what will happen to the EDL without his influence... maybe it will attract even more knuckleheads and things will really kick off?

 

In the same way its the knuckle heads within the muslim community who make all the problems and stop people taking islam seriously. I believe it was Mr Robinson's aim to show this but sadly that message may have been lost over the years. He has certainly done the right thing in leaving the EDL.

Look on the bright side.

 

He can spend more time running his tanning salon.

Maybe we'll see an upsurge of violence on the terraces?

 

There will be a political vacuum that some will try to fill. Some of this will be for political control and some for financial gain. I can see different far-right groups - the NF, BNP, et al - competing to recruit and sell badges, masks, flags, etc, to the lager-drinkers. It won't be pretty.

Of course there aren't any Muslim knuckleheads:

 

 

Their views aren't even extremist compared to those that are!

Come to think of it, do you Tommy will move Oop North to Sheffield?

 

After all, he's already graced us Good Folk of Sheffield with his noble presence three times this year

 

He must absolutely love the place

 

And I will look forward to welcoming another fellow of a similarly Irish / Catholic background such as my goodself to the city

itll be interesting to see where the EDL fit into things and how they go about "business" once their spiritual leader has left

will get they more violent, more political or just vanish into the ether

 

its funny how the far right ALWAYS seem to fragment into smaller and smaller groups seems their hate isnt just vented at their chosen enemies but also manifests itself towards each other after a while too

All politics can be guilty of that.

 

Ask the Judean People's Front.

True.

 

Nick Griffin tried to purge the BNP of its thuggish element in an effort to make the party more electable.

 

Problem with the EDL, is that Tommy's a convicted thug anyway. Maybe that's why he's decided to call it a day, now he's taken the EDL as far as he can?

 

Because for all their rhetoric and their supposed legions of followers on SF, they're only a single-issue pressure group, NOT a political party.

 

Or perhaps he's as ashamed as the Mosque-bombing mentality of his followers as most ordinary white British folk are.

Ask the Judean People's Front.

 

yeah but the right seem to do it more than most

 

and its the peoples liberation front of judeah
