Far-right activist Tommy Robinson set to make over $1 million if he manages to visit US on speaking tour
Anti-fascist campaigners fear that the polarizing figure might use the money to fund a UK tour and sow discord among communities
Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League, could become one of the best-funded figures since World War II if a potential US speaking tour comes to fruition, according to an analysis by anti-fascist campaigners.
Born Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, Robinson has been invited to give an address in Washington by members of Congress on 14 November. The invitation has been made by Middle East Forum, a US-based neo-conservative think tank, and the David Horowitz Freedom Centre, a right-wing Conservative foundation, reports The Guardian.
