Patriotic Platform's organiser, Danny Tommo's history is worth knowing.

Despite his working class pretences, Tommo's from a privately-educated backround and was (briefly) in the Army as a tank driver but was medically discharged without ever seeing any active service. He seems to have got involved with drug-related criminal gangs and was jailed in 2016 for two years for a botched knifepoint kidnapping. At some point after leaving prison he found God and Tommy Robinson and has travelled up and down the UK involving himself in anti-immigration politics. Tommo's "handpicked" masked blackshirts include many men who have criminal convictions for violence, including domestic abuse.

Tommo's said about himself:

“everyone deserves a second chance..I now go to church every Sunday and pray for forgiveness”

Another one who will probably fuck off to another country when shit of his own making hits the fan.

Not to judge someone by their looks, but he seems untrustworthy.

He seems to have shat himself and to have suddenly noticed the vinadloo burn.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
