and then I found the silver Bentley I borrowed from a friend whose name I can’t recall had £13k in used notes in the glove compartment, which was nice.

Just Stephen Yaxley-Lennon on his way to Spain in his Silver Bentley with a brown envelope filled with cash. Nothing to see here.

Tommy Robinson told police ‘not a chance bruv’ when asked for mobile pin. He had more than £13,000 and 1,900 euros in cash with him, told officers he was driving his silver Bentley to Benidorm for a couple of days when he was stopped. As you do!

Utter tripe. He’s a cheap grifter who relies on the utter stupidity of his followers.

You boy!
How can an unemployed far right loudmouth drive a silver Bentley?

Don’t know sir, but he has a helluva lot of dumb friends though!

When I was teenage I encountered Bill while birdwatching at local reservoir. At local school open day at the weekend I related this story to some 6th form students but they just looked blank. They not only didn’t know him but had never heard of the Goodies!! 😲

Well that’s all very “man of the people” … driving a 🤬 Bentley with around £15k in cash in his possession.
Says “proceeds of crime” to me 🤷‍♂️

Hate to tell you but I know a few who say they will vote for him. I'm shocked about a couple of them, BUT they say "socialists" always ruin the economy and they can't vote for the Tories now and Fartage has spent his life fighting for Britain in Europe. I am so bored of my voice trying to explain

I think apathy is hugely damaging. Not bothering to take interest. I see messages on here about being fed up of politics. Which I get. But people need to have their eyes wide open now more than ever. Reform getting into power with 25 to 30% of the vote is crazy. Considering how extreme they are.

The OAP's are voting for him in their droves, though, aren't they?
Most are in complete ignorance as to his NHS plans and destruction of food and medical supplies. In many cases, they will be voting themselves into an earlier than expected grave.
They love his rhetoric of hatred and division.

Took my niece and daughter to Spain a few years back. While there, I asked my niece, who is kinda quiet, what she liked most so far. She said. "I'm not afraid of being shot."
