The hosting of Tommy Robinson by the Trump administration has been condemned by British MPs amid calls for the US to be included in a probe into foreign interference in UK politics.
The far-right activist, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is being feted in the US, where he met figures including a political appointee at the Department of State in Washington DC and a congressman.
The visit has prompted questions about how Robinson – a former member of the extreme-right British National party and a leader in recent decades of street protests that have often turned violent – was able to overcome a previous ban on entering the US.
Given his criminal convictions – include for fraud, violence, drug possession and attempting to enter the US in 2012 using a false passport – it is highly likely that US authorities will have intervened to allow him to enter on a discretionary basis.
While Robinson has enjoyed US links – recently in the form of what he claimed was Elon Musk’s funding to fight a criminal case last year – the visit comes after alarm at the Trump administration’s unveiling of a national security strategy in December that aligned US interests with European far-right politicians.
Having reinvented himself as a self-styled journalist, Robinson has been eagerly attempting to access an audience among Trump’s base on a platform of anti-Muslim rhetoric and claims that freedom of speech is under threat in the UK.
The Trump administration’s hosting of Robinson was described as “a wake-up call” by Calum Miller, the Liberal Democrat MP and foreign affairs spokesperson.
“The government needs to include the US in their inquiry into foreign interference in UK politics,” he said, referring to an ongoing independent review into foreign financial interference in the UK’s political and electoral systems.

Nobody cares what muzzie-loving British MPs think.
Seriously. England is committing suicide.
The UK can just shut the hell up. These liars have been messing in our elections all the time. There is no disputing the fact that they have been putting people in prison for their speech and political leanings. Whether or not you like Tommy or his politics, it isn’t any of their business what we do here in the US regarding Robinson.
Well stop interfering with UK. Cut off all military cooperation and assistance.
Guess the Brits don’t like it when we do what they do.
“extreme-right” = “rational person”
President Trump just insinuated the UK for interfering in SCOTUS tariff ruling, now this from the UK.
I think they still haven’t gotten over how that war turned out 250 years ago.
>Brits supported zionism and the creation of israel
>Brits used their subversive intelligence to push the US into ww1 and ww2 when it was not in our interest
Everything they have done has added misery to the 20th and 21st century that were not needed

Although we had to get involved in WWII go clean up the mess from WWI and we had to stop Hitler.
.

“and we had to stop Hitler”
No
“...Although we had to get involved in WWII go clean up the mess from WWI and we had to stop Hitler....”
At this point in time, the Brits would probably been better off speaking German rather than Swahili.... We’re witnessing a nation commiting outright suicidei. Absolutely insane.... Trump is right: These people are crazy.....
Given the UK's demise due to capitulation to the Islamic masses jumping into their sovereign territoriaty, they are scapegoating Tommy Robinson with trumped up lawfare.
Scapegoating is defined as the act of transferring responsibility for one's failures or frustrations onto a vulnerable group or person, often as a means of deflecting guilt or blame.
More likely the Brits would have been able to hold on to their empire longer.
And the Soviets may end up conquering Germany anyway. It's likely we would have kept them afloat even if we didn't intervene in the war.
They needed our trucks and spam. That was sufficient.
Three world powers.
USA, British Empire, Soviet Union (this time they dominate Western Europe).
I’m not used to reading such blatant propaganda.
The Guardian is fully onboard with the ongoing Islamic colonization of the U.K. People like Tommy Robinson who stand for the old England and its former culture are of course hated and depised by the organ mouthpieces of the traitors sabotaging England.
