TOMMY ROBINSON THE GRASS @edlnews #ANTIFA #PEGIDA #EDL @slatedl @JLRFB @ant1fane

Much has been written about Stephen Yaxley Lennon's notorious grassing of EDL members to the authorities, and Tommy said as such when he left the EDL, admitting he was happy shopping them to the police. It was these serious allegations of disloyalty which led to the bust-up and split causing the NWI breaking away, closely followed by the NEI. It should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone that "Team Tommy" has been passing info not just to the police, but to antifascists also, as Yaxo and friends sought to undermine the longevity of the very same far right organisation he helped found, for purely financial reasons.





Hospital administrator Helen "Lel" Gower was viewed with deep suspicion ever since she joined the EDL. Anyone who crossed her, soon learnt that she was not "one of the gang". She was sharp-minded, crafty, conniving, and rarely socialised with the footsoldiers, coming across as distant and aloof. Before long, Facebook EDLers were openly questioning her loyalty, to which she responded by accusing them of being nazis, traitors and thick. Stephen soon became best friends with Lel, and both worked together as a team.

Lel is now the number two at Pegida UK, the brains behind the Germanic fascist org, especially noting Tommy's bouts of irrationality due to his hard drug-taking habits. Theories abound the interwebs of state collision, involving M15 and M16, however their willingness to snitch to antifash suggests a more straightforward motivating factor - MONEY. What was in it for Helen Gower, who resigned from the EDL along with Tommy, undermining former footsoldiers to the point of gross betrayal??? An accomplished puppet master, she has been more than happy to share screenshots and even social media logins with antifascists for which she was not paid a penny. Whilst the OB are happy to exchange info for cash, AF organisations never give money to fash, no matter how encouraging they are, the remunerative guile of Team Tommy focused elsewhere.

It doesn't take the brains of a rocket scientist to understand how Tommy, as a racial nationalist, is a sham. Maajid Nawaz admitted a few months ago on social media to his critics that Tommy had been never been converted to moderacy by Quilliam, but had merely been bought out for cash. In other words, Little Tommy tit had sold his one-time mates down the river for the moolah. To pocket Quilliam cash, Tommy Tit broke ties with the EDL, condemning them as extremists, and in so doing, lost the rewards of EDL merchandising, coinciding with Tommy's announcement that "The EDL will be finished within six months", yet, contradictorily announcing to his closest followers he would return to far right politics within a few years. What Tommy didn't contemplate was the death of Lee Rigby and the ensuing EDL financial renewal. From that point onwards, a vast number of damaging screenshots surfaced which undermined the credibility of the new leadership and its criminal followers, Mr and Mrs Frankenstein working overtime to slay the monster and its merchandising wing, helping their former cash cow nosedive into political oblivion.

The EDL safely out the way, managing only 80 people on the national call-out in Bradford, "Team Tommy" wasted no time in announcing their immediate takeover of Pegida UK. Their merchandising rivals in the EDL no-longer shifting hoodies, it's back into the limelight for the reborn Islamophobe, who stopped hating Muslims when the price was right, only to return far right politics sniffing even greater financial rewards, Pegida UK potentially his most lucrative money scam yet.
