Reactions as Tommy Robinson accused of spending donations on ‘coke and nights out’

Tommy Robinson has been accused of misusing supporters’ money, receiving hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding and donations despite declaring himself bankrupt.

This month he was listed on the insolvency register under his original name Stephen Christopher Lennon.

In just two months, Robinson received £425,000 in donations from his supporters, documents showed. He is also believed to have raised a much larger amount after being jailed for contempt of court in May 2018, despite an American group called Middle East Forum reportedly funding his defence.

Caolan Robertson, who worked for the far-right activist at the time claims that when drunk, Robinson would boast of being “f***ing loaded” and making “mad money”,

He denies any misappropriation of donations, but the accusations were met with a no s*it sherlock response on social media.
