Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has claimed “Russia is not the enemy of Britain” after he travelled to Moscow and met with Elon Musk’s father, Errol.

Elon Musk has long been a supporter of Robinson, with both men calling for people to take to the streets in response to the knife attack in Belfast.

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, shared a list of places where protests were said to be taking place at 7pm on Tuesday following the Belfast attack, saying: “The whole of the United Kingdom is hitting the streets tonight at 7pm following yet another invader attack on our people.”

    ideally I would want for Ukrainans and Russians to live peacefully and in harmony with one another, like they mostly did under the USSR

    What if Ukrainians don’t want to live under the boot of Moscow though?

        I think Russia is a pretty oppressive nation.

        • Here’s an article about a Russian who publicly opposed the invasion of Ukraine, leading to him getting a sentence of 25 years in prison.
        • Here’s an article about Alexei Navalny, an opposition politician, getting a Russian intelligence officer to admit that the FSB (Russian government agency) poisoned Navalny. Why is the Russian state poisoning opposition politicians?
