British nazi fuehrer jailed for fraud

This satirical music video is called Der Fuehrer’s Face by Spike Jones.

The fuehrer of the BNP, the British nazi party … err … I am supposed to use the euphemism “national” party, Nick Griffin, has managed to get bankrupt, even though he gets a fat cat European Parliament income.

For a former member of Griffin’s BNP, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon … err … that sounds too Irish, so he prefers calling himself the more Germanic “Tommy Robinson“, ex-fuehrer of the English Defense League, things are going even worse.

This video is called EDL Nazi Salute Compilation.

From daily The Independent in Britain:

EDL founder Tommy Robinson jailed

The 31-year-old admitted two counts of mortgage fraud

Former leader of the English Defence League (EDL) Tommy Robinson has been sentenced to 18 months in jail for mortgage fraud.

The 31-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, admitted to two counts of fraud at a hearing in November, after he was accused of conspiring with others to obtain a mortgage by misrepresentation.

The fraud of the Abbey and Halifax banks amounted to £160,000 over a period of six months in 2009. …

He has also been detained by the police a number of times during EDL rallies since founding the far-right group in 2009, including when police tried to restrict far-right marches in the wake of the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby last year. …

Charles Sherrard QC who represented Mr Robinson, told the court that his client’s life would be in danger in prison, particularly as he may have alienated his previous followers.

The barrister cited the 10 months that Mr Robinson spent in prison for using someone else’s passport to travel to the USA, when he had to be placed in solitary confinement and was moved to four different jails for his safety, the BBC reported.

From the Daily Mirror:

Last January he was jailed for 10 months for using someone else’s passport to go to the US. A week after his wedding in 2011 he was convicted of leading a brawl of Luton Town thugs. He also headbutted one of his own EDL members that year.

Earlier, “Robinson” had spent a year in jail for violence against a police officer.

If only in other countries, like Greece, Hungary or France, things would go equally bad for neo-fascists.
