England’s contested 1,100-year anniversary passed with little public interest, reflecting a broadly unbothered national identity, even as a small but vocal far-right English nationalism gains visibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/19/world/being-properly-english/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #england #tommyrobinson #donaldtrump #nigelfarage #mikenesbitt #georgeorwell #johnmajor #rishisunak #labour #tories #reformuk #conservativeparty #ulsterunionistparty #maga #englishdefenceleague

"The Church of England is to launch a poster campaign aimed at challenging the anti-migrant message of Tommy Robinson, whose 'Unite the Kingdom' movement has urged its supporters to join a carols event next weekend to 'put the Christ back into Christmas'.
The posters, which will go on display at bus stops, say 'Christ has always been in Christmas' and 'Outsiders welcome'."

"And another element that’s been really terrifying for many Palestinian friends of mine in Gaza, and this is something we show in the film that has happened in the West Bank before, but it accelerated in Gaza, is drones suddenly appear at night time, emitting sounds of babies crying.
Someone walks out of their tent, what is going on, where is this coming from? This sound is coming from a speaker on a drone. Someone comes out of their tent or a house or whatever they live in in Gaza and then the person is killed. There’s huge amounts of documented evidence of this. This is on one hand psychological terror but also actual terror, what can anyone say about that?"
"Israel as a model for the global far-right, it’s real and it’s worsening."

Un miliardario statunitense del settore tecnologico, Robert J. Shillman, ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nel finanziare l'ascesa del fascista inglese Tommy Robinson, come di altri vermiciattoli affini (Katie Hopkins, Laura Loomer, Charlie Kirk); ha anche speso 200.000 dollari per le spese legali di Geert Wilders, quando questi ha dovuto affrontare il processo per incitamento all'odio razziale. Shillman è stato anche membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces e conduce un podcast filoisraeliano. Al Technion, l'Istituto di tecnologia israeliano, c'è una statua a lui dedicata.

see, i'm not really buying that people on the UTK march weren't all racists. why would you go to an event organised by THE FOUNDER OF THE EDL if you don't consider yourself a racist? he's a massive racist. if you're not, you wouldn't want to be anywhere near anything even remotely associated with that rancid little prick.

Remember, a similar amount of people marched in support of Trans Rights but you didn't hear about it, ten times as many marched against Brexit in 2019.
The country isn't getting more open to Tommy Robinson, the Media and Politicians are.

![Britons tend to view Tommy Robinson negatively
In general, do you have a positive or negative view of [Tommy Robinson]?
@ Very positive @ Somewhat positive @ Neither positive nor negative @ Don't know
® Somewhat negative @ Very negative
-Basically as Sunder Katwala described, only Reform UK bucks the trends of viewing Tommy as anything but the violent street thug that he is. The Greens are the most vehemently opposed (that 1% agreeing with him are probably the Terfs) but most people are either ambivalent or hate the guy

"The Normalisation of Tommy Stephen Yaxley-Lennon Robinson"
He was (is?) a domestic abuser y'know, you would think that would be relevant to the Press when talking about his latest crusade but no....

Everyone thinks Kier Starmer is a wanker. Left and right are absolutely aligned on this. Probably for very different reasons, but Labour have a serious leadership problem that they need to acknowledge and address. It will lose them the next election.

My latest investigation for @leicestergazette into so-called 'migrant hunters' operating in #Leicester. One individual is an ex-EDL member with links to Stephen Yaxley-Lennon AKA #TommyRobinson.
This story was a huge collaborative effort over two weeks, involving our volunteer researchers, freelance reporters, our photographer, and our graphic designer. I'm immensely proud of the hard work everyone put in to get this investigation over the line.
