Tommy Robinson’s announced a London march for 16 May and ended up magnificently owned into next year
Tommy Robinson wannabe Stephen Yaxley-Lennon is going back on the road for a big ol’ protest – well, big-ish – in London on 16 May.
And it looks just as lame as you imagine it would. And more.
May 16th is the date.
Central London is the place 🇬🇧
Four Nations. One Kingdom. Under God.
The world will be watching, and your voice will be heard.

And there was something about it that didn’t ring quite right.
First of all – but very much the lesser of the two – was this.
He’s planned this on FA Cup final day so when it gets cancelled due to policing, he can say the government are “silencing” him again
Tommy Robinson is a massive fraud, it baffles me people listen to him https://t.co/rcD41rFyUE

Well quite, FA Cup final day does seem an odd choice for a march through central London. Although if only a few dozen people turn up it obviously won’t be an issue.
But more importantly, Yaxley-Lennon’s announcement came just a few days after he told everyone he was fleeing the UK because of an imminent threat by ISIS.
BREAKING NEWS: I’M A PRIORITY TARGET FOR ISIS!!!
I have now left the country, I need time to work things out for my safety and the safety of my family.
I will probably have to relocate them.
I will update you when I can. pic.twitter.com/CSE2aYYlWQ

And these people were very quick to put two and two together, mental gymnastics that may be beyond the mind of SYL.
Tommy Robinson: “ISIS are chasing me and I fear for my life”
Also Tommy Robinson: “I’LL BE IN LONDON ON THE 16TH MAY!!”

Well, quite.
Let me get this straight, Tommy Robinson is hosting a massive event in Central London even though apparently he’s a high priority ISIS target.
If the threat is real that he had to flee the country, why is he potentially putting his supporters at risk?

We can only hope his personal security detail are on hand to advise him otherwise.
He meant to say HMRC, not ISIS
He got the wrong 4 letter organisation.

I think I read somewhere that ISIS are taking the 16th May off, hence Tommy should be ok that day.

And the country he claims to care so much about!!
How they don’t see through his lies is really telling

Apparently ISIS can’t find Benidorm on a map.

ISIS will be busy watching the FA cup final. Tommy will claim 80,000 football fans were in London for the March!!

Let’s all just hush and send him money. Lots of money.

I mean if I was running away after being threatened by a terrorist organisation one of the first things I would do is publicise my location on a particular day https://t.co/F8BqrZknuP
