1/ Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson), as well as others on the far-right like Katie Hopkins, presents himself as pro-Israel. So why has his fake news site given a platform to antisemitism? #SFFN
2/ In an article published on TR News in April, Shazia Hobbs:

❌ Bemoaned that people are “shocked and disgusted” if she criticises “the Jews”
❌ Accused Jews and Muslims of having a “superiority complex”
❌ Claimed “people allow [the Jews] to get away with it”

#SFFN
3/ More recently she wrote another blog in which she promoted an antisemitic conspiracy theory which claims Jewish-led ‘cultural Marxism’ is ‘destroying the West’ by encouraging LGBT-rights, immigration, alcohol consumption & control of the media. #SFFN
4/ Katie Hopkins is another far-right figure who portrays herself as pro-Israel (). Yet she has also promoted Hobbs. #SFFN
5/ Hobbs also promotes Islamophobia. In a TR News article titled, “We Need To Talk About Islam”, she claimed that “churches are being burnt down all across Europe,” for which she gives no evidence, and that “Austria has the right idea of shutting down mosques.” #SFFN
6/ She has suggested Muslims are at fault for the racism they suffer, ought to reflect on why they “believe they have a harder time than any other immigrants”, and the far-right would “cease to exist if Islam stopped being a real and credible threat.” #SFFN
7/ The day Christchurch she appeared to question whether the terrorist really was a “right-wing extremist” & wrote “Some are already saying it is a false flag operation by the “New World Order” to remove firearms from the people & to stop criticism of mass immigration”. #SFFN
8/ Hobbs spoke at far-right political party For Britain’s conference last year & wrote for the party’s founder, Anne Marie-Waters’ Sharia Watch site. Waters has said of Muslims, “we need to reduce their birthrates now.” #SFFN

9/ GOOD NEWS: TR News appears to no longer have online advertising on its site‼️ Thanks to every advertising platform which has refused to place ads there 👏👏 😃
BAD NEWS: The site is using the @donorbox platform to fundraise instead. #SFFN
@Donorbox 10/ Hi @RED @HfHVC @HabitatSHR @ShantiBhavan @OUchabad @RICNews, please stop using a fundraising platform which enables support for racist fake news sites 🙏 Here are several alternatives to @donorbox: alternativeto.net/software/donor… Thank you! #SFFN
