The ex-leader of the English Defence League and journalist Tommy Robinson (aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and others) has been in the news yet again this week over a photo that he took with a number of army cadets at a service station.

Therefore, we thought that this would be a great time to remind everyone that Tommy decided to share not one, but TWO utterly fake and made up articles from our sister page Southend News Network.

First of all, back in May 2016, Tommy spotted an article about bikinis being banned on beaches in Southend On Sea for ‘cultural reasons’ (which pretty much translated into ‘them Muslamics,’ and he immediately leapt into action and shared it on his official Twitter page.

Unfortunately, his Twitter account is now sleeping with the fishes, but luckily the guys over at The Huffington Post managed to grab the text of the tweet itself.

If ‘Tommeh’ had actually bothered to read the article itself, he would have noticed a number of warning signs that it was all complete and utter bollocks, such as:

The spokesperson called Diane Verss.

The group opposing the ban called Southend Humanitarian Equality Liberation Foundation (SHELF).

The fact that it is never bloody warm enough for a bikini in Southend.

‘Privacy screens will be erected around these areas so that other beach users can continue to enjoy our miles of golden sands and crystal blue waters.’

… and the list goes on. You can read the original here if you are in any doubt.

After all of these shenanigans, you would have thought that he would have been more careful about stuff popping up from Southend News Network in the future.

Alas, it was not to be.

For this particular howler, the article focused on a very angry black man called Derek who had decided that the sign saying ‘smoke-free’ at his local hospital was ‘racist’ because it implied that black people were not allowed in there.

In case you didn’t know, ‘smoke’ is a nasty term for a black person what was probably last used in the 1930’s.

Again, this story had a number of alarm bells, including:

The fact that an Italian man was going to launch legal action over the name of Wapping in East London.

The fact that a Mexican was going to consider a similar course of action over a cleaning company called Spick and Span.

The fact that the image used was a really shit attempt at Photoshop.

The fact that the black guy’s lawyer was called Dennis Di Mennis QC.

The fact that Derek ranted, ‘My biggest fear in all of this is that a seriously ill black person will arrive there, see the sign and look elsewhere for urgent medical attention. They have the same signs at lots of other hospitals as well – I shudder to think how far they will have to travel before they get the help that they need.’

See it for yourself here.

Maybe the lesson here is that people should take his remaining social media channels with a pinch of salt.

Unless of course his ultimate goal is to stir up shit by sharing complete and utter bollocks.
