Tommy Robinson Speaks Through Back Channels


From Gates of Vienna:
Early this morning I learned from a source close to Tommy Robinson that there is indeed more to his new situation than meets the eye. 
Tommy said it broke his heart to leave the EDL. He wanted his longtime supporters to know that he is aware they are demoralized and angry. 
He apologized for leaving them in the lurch. It was not something he wanted to do, but something he knew he had to do. Kevin agreed with Tommy’s views concerning the EDL, and realized that they had come to a crossroads together. He felt that they should make a joint decision about which way to turn. 
The two men entered into their new association with the Quilliam Foundation of their own free will, with their eyes open. 
Tommy said: “Give me six months. If you’re not satisfied with what you see, you can crucify me then.” 
In the meantime, Quilliam is giving Tommy and Kevin intensive training in Islam, so that they will truly understand Islamic principles and teachings. 
Tommy was at pains to emphasize that they are not being paid; their relationship with the Quilliam Foundation is a partnership.

It never crossed my mind that TR was paid (at least, not in the traditional sense) for his alliance with Quilliam. However, a partnership implies exchange of some kind. Quilliam is govt. funded. I pray that the exchange for TR was not of the politically motivated unsavory kind (escalated threats) many have expressed they suspect.
Keep in mind that over 4 years TR has lost his businesses, has had to relocate his family multiple times and yet his new address was intentionally leaked, his home has been looted by LE investigators, his parents homes have been treated the same, he has been physically assaulted, imprisoned and denied equal treatment under the law. His children have been ostracised at school. His life and the lives of his family members have been threatened countless times. The crowns efforts consumed exhorbitant amounts of his time & wealth, as well as alienating him from his family. . .this all takes its toll. This government obviously will stop at nothing to remove any obstacle against their agenda.

It is enraging to think of that.
