Ben Habib’s Advance UK website tells us that next Saturday (7 February) the party will host a major members-only event to “unveil the first of our national policies on Restoration & Immigration”.
But as for where this historic unveiling will take place, the website is coy, offering only vague hints about a location somewhere in central London, near Westminster.
In fact, the venue is the Emmanuel Centre, 9–23 Marsham Street, London SW1P 3DW. At 1.00pm.
We know this not because Advance UK chose to tell anyone, but because Tommy Robinson’s cameraman has helpfully spilled the beans online.
At the end of last weekend’s anti-migrant demonstration in Braintree, ‘Brother Wendell’ Daniel, who had been filming and streaming Robinson’s appearance, was caught chatting with one of the many right-wing ‘auditors’ who had crawled over the event.
Public consumption
This exchange was filmed by a third party, Stripey Audits, who obligingly uploaded the entire conversation for public consumption.
During the chat, “Brother Wendell”, as he is known on the far right, revealed that he will be filming Advance UK’s “manifesto launch” next Saturday, and that it will take place at the Emmanuel Centre.
Inner circle
Daniel, a former Labour councillor, is now a senior member of Robinson’s inner circle and the official cameraman for Robinson’s ‘Urban Scoop’ channel.
He plainly had not got the email that said keep the venue secret.
The fact that Wendell claims he will be filming the event with six cameras strongly suggests that Robinson himself will be present, lending his thuggish imprimatur to Habib’s party – which just happens to be contesting the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester later this month.
It recently announced that its candidate would be former youth worker, Nick Buckley,
It seems clear now that Saturday’s “policy unveiling” will actually serve as the opening salvo of that by-election campaign and the launch of its manifesto.
