Tommy Robinson’s supporters need to get their wallets out. There’s almost certainly another appeal for funds on its way for the lad’s ‘legal fund’.
Because Tommy’s on his sunbed again, and this time he’s at a £10k a week Portuguese resort.
Tommy – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – flew out of the UK on 9 July for Quinta do Lago Campus in Portugal. It’s one of the most expensive resorts in western Europe and he’s been there before. He got in a fight there last year.
Only two days later he was posting a plug for merchandise being sold to raise funds for him online.
And he was telling his supporters: “Having a lovely week so far. Really needing it. Recharging my batteries ready for the fight”.”
We can sympathise: it must have been a gruelling couple of months since he was released from prison.
First he had to endure an exhausting holiday in the Bahamas and then a tortuous couple of weeks in Tenerife.
The Bahamas trip seems to have been paid for by a wealthy American far-right podcaster, but the Tenerife trip will have cost Tommy in the region of £10k.
No wonder he now needs a third sunshine holiday to recover.
And what better place than the Quinta do Lago Campus, a “state-of-the-art performance and innovation environment enjoyed by athletes, teams and sports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities”.
Yesterday he posted a defence of the alleged rapist Andrew Tate from Dano’s Bar, one of his favourite haunts on the resort.
And, for the cash-strapped, recently-released jailbird, it’s a snip at only £10k a week (minimum).
It’s a place he has stayed before so it obviously enjoys a special place in his heart . And, no doubt, when his muppet supporters receive the next desperate plea for cash – for his legal fund, or to support his poor put-upon family or whatever – they will happily cough up yet again.
And Tommy, yet again, will be laughing all the way to his Mediterranean sunbed.
