HUMILIATED far-right activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon slipped out of his election count early after discovering that he had come a feeble eighth in England’s North West region.

The founder of the English Defence League, who goes by the name “Tommy Robinson,” found that he had received just 38,908 votes at Sunday night’s European Parliament elections count in Manchester: 2.2 per cent in the overall vote share, and a loss of his £5,000 electoral deposit.

He blamed “the unions” and the government for his defeat in Thursday’s poll.
