Far right British troublemaker Tommy Robinson is in St. Petersburg. Russian outlet that interviewed him said he "came to Russia to talk about censorship in the EU and the problems of migration from the Middle East."

Title of the article is "British politician Robinson: Let's break up the European Union together."
Asked which countries would be next to leave the EU, Robinson says The Netherlands and France. He hopes that Marine Le Pen will get enough support in France to take it out of the EU and mentions that the Gilets Jaunes have been protesting for a year.
Commenting on EU sanctions on Russia, Robinson says that he thinks the EU is trying to restrain Russia's power.
The outlet confuses the lifting of sanctions with the UK's removal of tariffs on certain industrial products from Russia. Robinson says it's all thanks to Boris Johnson.
Robinson says that if Russia had wanted to kill Sergei Skripal they would have done it quietly and without using a chemical weapon.
Russia can become the UK's key partner after Brexit, especially in the battle with jihadis, Robinson says. "We can work together to preserve Christian values, culture and identity. Russians see Putin as the defender of their country. He is a strong politician...
"The West doesn't have enough strong men. Western politicians are emasculated."
Robinson says he sees the EU as a threat. Expansion towards Ukraine is an example. "They destabilised that country and used military intervention," he says.
Robinson says he would like to have a beer with Putin and tell him to fight against the censorship and propaganda that is being used against his country. "I would ask him to give me a TV show on Russian television."
Robinson has been convicted in the UK of common assault and contempt of court and has served jail time.
Here's an announcement about Tommy Robinson's press conference yesterday on the topic of "What's going on with free speech in Europe?" It claims that his Twitter account was "illegally blocked for supposed extremist statements".

This report says he talked about "total censorship on British social networks and in the media". Russian state media is loving it.

This headline says he talked about how London covers up the brutality of migrant paedophiles.

According to the report, "The rape of little girls by migrants, including in groups and with particular cruelty, has become the terrifying reality of Britain over the past 40 years."
"Authorities - central and local - do everything to prevent the spread of information about what's going on."
No mention of the fact that Robinson himself jeopardised the trial of accused paedophiles by breaching reporting restrictions.
Russia welcomes people on all sides of the political spectrum who claim to have been persecuted in the West. And it's no problem for the left to associate themselves with the Kremlin despite this open support for the far right.

Latest tweet from the Libertarian Party of Russia about Robinson's appearance at their conference, talking about his claims that censorship enables rape by migrants. The Libertarian Party shows itself to be no better than the other Kremlin-oriented fake opposition parties.
It's hard to see how hating immigrants fits in with libertarianism.
