TOMMY ROBINSON — ex-Nazi British National Party (BNP) member and former leader of the fascist English Defence League (EDL) — and 700-800 of his supporters gathered in the centre of Telford in Shropshire last Saturday.
It was a gathering whose core was made up of fascists and organised racists — some even giving the Hitler salute — that claimed to be standing up for the forgotten white working-class people of the town.
