Tommy Robinson’s rise in US is big problem for Britain… his proximity to power is sign America thinks UK is lost
The Sun ^ | 27 Mar 2026 | Harry Cole

BRITAIN has a growing Tommy Robinson problem.

Not back at home, where the anti-migration agitator remains a fringe figure, confined to the streets and the internet.

But here in the US it is a different story.

With the “special relationship” down the pan right now amid Keir Starmer’s desertion of Britain’s closest ally over Iran, the grifters smell an opportunity.

The PM has been relegated to the sidelines of global matters, scorned daily by President Trump, but facing seething anger across Washington that extends far beyond the White House.

With bafflement at Britain’s border incompetence, benefit spending, energy self-harm, and an apparent bonfire of free speech, the agitproppers are pushing at open doors.

Through the warped prism of deliberate social media distortion by Elon Musk and some hefty spin, “Tommy” as he is simply and increasingly referred to here, has a hugely overinflated reputation.

He’s become something of a free-speech folk hero, where convictions for assault, stalking and fraud are conveniently overlooked as he paints himself as a “political prisoner”.

Questions remain as to why Robinson was detained in solitary confinement at Belmarsh during his seven-month stay last year for Contempt of Court, but the charges were open and shut.

Yet both his sentence and his treatment have been ruthlessly weaponised and painted as another nail in the coffin of a free and fair Britain.

Quite how he got a US visa after a previous conviction for entering America on a false passport remains a mystery.

But the Trump administration rolled out the red carpet — not only granting him access to the country but also inviting him to the State Department for meetings.

He’s been hosted on Capitol Hill, feted by right-wing podcasters, influencers and, as I understand it, deep-pocketed donors.

Iran’s closest ally is Kweer Stormer, PM of the world oldest Third World Muslim country, across the pond.

America thinks UK is lost

There is no think about it. When the ship of state looks like the Flying Dutchman it is genuinely lost.

UK is way more lost than America. The EU is cooked. Once Trump is out the dems will destroy the border

America is not far behind. I’m not going to bother going into how much our intel, military, politicians, and media are owned by outside interests. If you don’t already know this, you are malinformed by the corrupted media establishment.

Anyone with a handful of functioning brain cells knows that the UK is lost. The Brits all need to get themselves some prayer rugs and burkas, a.s.a.p.

Bloody wankers.

It would be a safe bet that writer Harry Cole voted as a Remainer and accepts whatever the EU decides to legislate.

Nope. I formulate questions from statements.
I am one that wasn’t even happy with the lies of the first bombing of Netanz(etc).

I despise war and the war salesmen/liars. No one will thank us, no one will repay and we will not profit.

We may lose more blood and the bill will be dues exploding billions and there will be no unconditional surrender. The goal posts keep moving as usual.

From my bible reading this isn’t even biblical.

I don’t own a TV since 2009.

Mrs. wjcsux and I went to London last year. We decided that we better visit before the Muzzies totally take over. We went to the Castle of London and met several of the yeomen who cared for the place. I can’t imagine what these men who valiantly served their country are going through now. The yeomen are the best of the best of the UK’s military and it’s an honor to serve there.

“Thinks the UK is lost? Not a laughing matter but that’s funny. The UK has gone from a free country to a dictatorship that is now owned by the NWO puke elites and managed by their communists and Islamic front men. I’d say the UK isn’t just lost, it’s gone.

UK was lost the day they gave up their guns. They just didn’t know it at the time.
