CW for some discussion of sexual violence.

Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Tommy Robinson, has been preparing a documentary looking at sexual crimes in Telford.

While the scourge of sexual violence against women is disgusting, it's clear that Tommy's motives are less than pure. Why is it that Britain's noisiest islamophobe would want to focus solely on the crimes of Asian individuals and gangs, as opposed to the bigger picture of violence that afflicts all communities? 

Tommy's record of associations with violent misogynists and abusers is well documented, and his denunciations of them have proven weak, inconsistent, or non existent.

Joe, Roxy and Nick look in depth at this, and provide an overview of the other important goings on with the far right in early 2022.
