I don't follow Tommy Robinson much for obvious reasons, but I have been watching various right wing telegram groups since they organised a ~~protest~~ riot near me.

What's weird (or at least unexpected to me) is they don't seem to like him either, claiming he's Jewish (which of course they have an issue with) and funded by Israel?

It might well be that this is a particularly extreme right wing group, but I'm still very confused at this point.

Either way, fuck the lot of them.
