It was a wet weekend for the Southport riot-inciter Danny Tommo, one of Tommy Robinson’s closest mates.
After doing his level best to wind things up in Southampton he ended on Sunday distinctly the worse for wear – soaked in urine and pepper sprayed by the police.
Riot inciter
Tommo – a convicted kidnapper – is one of Robinson’s closest mates and they were recently on holiday together in Tenerife.
Sunday’s events were a response to a demonstration the previous weekend, where anti-migrant demonstrators at the Highfield Hotel came off second best in confrontations with the opposition. Tommo responded with an appeal to ‘The Men of England’ to come to Southampton and “do what you need to do”.
This wasn’t quite on par with his notorious appeal after the Southport murders last year that “every city must go up!” but his message would not have been lost on his 47k online followers.
Direct hit
So, on Sunday around 600 of them assembled in the Portswood area of the city, opposed by about 400 counter demonstrators.
And Tommo’s lot were soon joined by UKIP Leader Nick Tenconi, fresh from his humiliation the day before on London.
But it wasn’t long before things started to go wrong. Someone standing on a footbridge launched a bottle of – it is alleged – urine at Tommo’s ranks and manged to score a direct hit on the inciter himself. They also managed to land some on Nick Tenconi.
Well, Tommy Robinson’s best mate couldn’t take this lying down, but when he attempted to pursue the thrower, and ignored police orders not to, he found himself being pepper sprayed and lying incapacitated and moaning on the ground.
First aid
But, believe it or not, worse was yet to come. The trouble-making far right ‘auditor’ AY Audits, aka Anthony Barnes, was on hand and seeing Tommo’s discomfort, handed him a bottle to wash his eyes.
However, they soon discovered that blackcurrent flavoured Lucozade really isn’t a great first aid option in such circumstances, and Tommo’s discomfort was multiplied yet further.
