1/ This is as dodgy as it is predictable. The US Ambassador for ‘religious freedom’ (I kid you not) has applied pressure on UK authorities over Tommy Robinson’s case, currently subject to an appeal reuters.com/article/us-usa…
2/ Let me count the ways this is dodgy. First that the Trump Administration (which hasn’t directly denied the story) is intervening in a case about a far right anti-Muslim extremist (and yes I mean all of that). Though knowing what we know of Trump that really isn’t surprising
3/ 2nd that Trump’s Administration was attempting to pressure the British politicos to influence the Courts, which means they have bought into a conspiracy theory that Robinson’s treatment is a vendetta by ‘establishment’ rather than him breaking UK laws (which he *admitted to*)
4/ 3rd that the US official apparently responsible for defending religious freedom appears to be standing up to a guy who is central to the anti-Islamic movement which is building across Europe.

All another example of how Trump enables and empowers the Far Right
