EDL boss Tommy Robinson again proves his stupidity

[rohrl]

EDL leader Tommy Robinson, as he styles himself, has yet again shown himself to be a complete idiot. This time he attempted to intimidate a Mr Gary Moon, editor of critical website EDL News, by tweeting and filming himself hand-delivering a letter to Moon, thereby publicising Moon's home address to the far-right leader's supporters.

Sadly for Robinson and fans of intimidatory behaviour everywhere he uploaded a video showing himself erroneously headed to the home of an entirely unrelated man named Garry Moon (note the extra r) who lives in a different place altogether. Hilarity at Tommy's dramatically curtailed reasoning skills ensues marred slightly by the bad taste of the attempted intimidation.

He did an interview with Andrew Neil or someone similar and didn't come across too badly, it looks like he fked up this time though.

What an idiot he is. I think he actually gained some ground after Lee Rigby's killing and was more media savvy. Acting like a thug though just lost it, if it was there, and shows another side. Foot, shot.

Thick thug makes basic error shock.

Anyone who thinks these fools are a legitimate voice is just looking for an easy answer to their own shortcomings in life. And It's easier to blame foreign types than look at your own failings.

Their leader is just a slightly less moronic version.

Sounds like a threat made to me. Wonder if plod would take a look.

Agreed.

As an aside - "Thick thug" seems to be making quite a nice living out of donations to the EDL from the gullible.

He's at it again with his latest video. (currently online at the independent newspaper)

I can't see how he can be taken seriously by any major news platform now.

Whoops. Won’t matter to most of his supporters though.

No, but hopefully it will persuade other media outlets to treat him for what he is rather than as a serious commentator and/or political figure.

He's put out a video saying this was just banter with his mates and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I think he's annoyed it's distracting from his big event planned for the 23rd when he's apparently exposing the BBC as purveyors of fake news.

[Evanivitch]

Seems an honest mistake from a man that struggles to remember his own name(s).

[liam1986]

It must be quiet on the global events front if that made the cut today lol

Although Tommy might have other problems soon - https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/3869844/paul...

Somewhere an alarm has gone off. I look forward to his SJW and their predictable banality.

One's here already. He managed to avoid commenting on the content of the story though .

[R8Steve]

His latest video directed towards Paul Ferris would seem pretty ill advised as well.

Stop giving this prrrrick media coverage.... he will soon fade away...
