Far-right racist Tommy Robinson tries to hide behind Jesus

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Jesus Christ would have thought Tommy Robinson is a dickhead. He would have no doubt been polite to Robinson and encouraged him to change his ways, but he wouldn’t have liked the guy, because Tommy Robinson is the living embodiment of everything Christ said not to do.

Robinson himself — surprise, surprise — seems to be too thick to grasp this:

That, or the little serpent has ulterior motives.

‘The message of Christ’

In his long and rambling message, Robinson says:

This 13th December, join believers from across the nation in central London as we gather to honour the true meaning of Christmas—the joyful celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

At a time when the message of Christ can feel forgotten or overshadowed, Unite The Kingdom is calling Christians together to stand boldly and lovingly for the heart of our faith: Christ is Christmas.

For a bit of fun, we thought we’d compare some of Christ’s actual teaching to Robinson’s tweets:

Do Unto Others as You Would Have them Do Unto You (Matthew 7:12)

Blessed are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)

Love your Enemies and Pray for Those who Persecute You (Matthew 5:44)

Let your Light Shine Before Others so the May See your Good Works (Matthew 5:16)

Christ alive

So why is he doing this?

We don’t know, but on a totally unrelated note, there is a fundraiser attached to the event:

If you feel led to support this gathering and help us bring Christ back into the heart of Christmas, we warmly invite you to contribute.

👉 Please consider making a donation using the link below.

Every gift—large or small—helps us spread the message of Christ and strengthen this growing movement of faith.

On another unrelated note, here’s a random tweet we saw earlier:

Looks like it’s going to be another white, powdery Christmas for Robinson.
