    "I feel like I'm two days away from being sentenced to death."

    No, you're not.

    "For journalism."

    You're not a journalist.

    "My name is Tommy Robinson"

    No, it isn't.

    I would have thought he'd scare off some people. Farage would certainly want to distance himself from him.

    Fact is, Tommy doesn't have the traction you wish he did. He has traction with bigots, ut you'll be hard pressed to find a more working class British town than Warrington, which is why Tommy decided to run there as he knew he would never get elected in his own constituency where people know what he is. Aaaaaand... He lost. Badly. Really, really badly.

    And why did the Brexit party not allow him to run as a member? Was it that he was unelectable, that he was too racist for even them, or something else?
    Exactly what country was this Muslim man born in by the way?

    I don't thinks that's relevant the fact is he was of South Asian origin. I was talking about white working class Brits not people born in Britain of South Asian heritage.
    So you're saying because he is not British and are basing this entirely on his skin colour? There's a word for that.

    Do you understand the meaning of the term racist, clearly not.

    It's relevant but of course you'd like to dismiss it as you only see white people as being British. Thankfully, the government has a different opinion.

    By the way, I've not met a single white or otherwise working class Brit who's a racist so you can stop demonising them as well.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    Probably depends on whether you are white or non-white.

    Funny that nigel himself seems convinced that it was the reason. he even wrote a newspaper article about it.

    The thing is they will have a criteria of what makes you say Irish may include going back generations etc and if they looked at there own family they would not be Irish

    Like all the ones in the videos below?

    Just some of the many videos in which Yaxley-Lennon had to be escorted to safety by the police. There's videos of him being told to piss off by proper scousers, as well as one when he had to hide up a tree because he was crapping himself in the face of the working class. Police had to form a cordon around his tree to keep him safe.

    https://twitter.com/LiverpoolLeft/status/1130142185603719169

    Here's another bunch of scousers having a good laugh at him by playing the Benny Hill tune at he and his hard men again require police protection from the working class
    https://twitter.com/Scouse_ma/status/1124983887053099011

    And what's these locals chanting you ask?
    https://twitter.com/MikeStuchbery_/status/1130108554365546498

    More proof you ask?
    https://twitter.com/KathyCu48984514/status/1130146004311957505

    And one more for the craic where he has to leggit to the safety of a blacked out van.

    How far away are you from looking in the mirror and thinking you see a Muslim looking back at you?

    You're refusing to recognise people who aren't white as British... Sounds pretty racist.

    The only people who claim to think it has lost all meaning are people like you who are racist and trying to devalue the meaning of the word.

    It still means what it always meant: you're prejudiced against people who are of a different skin colour to you.

    Saying 'it no longer has any meaning' is just another way for you to try and devalue the arguments of others, who can see you for what you are.

    Its just an updated version of "I'm not racist but (insert racist statement here)."
