A great piece on @DailyTPodcast by @petergmadams on Luton infamous Stephen Yaxley Lennon aka Tommy Robinson.
🎙️ The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has lost a High Court challenge over the conditions of his imprisonment at HMP Woodhill, with a judge ruling he must stay in isolation for his own safety. One man who has argued for Robinson’s release – wrongly labelling him a political prisoner silenced for exposing the brutality of the Pakistani rape gangs – is billionaire X owner Elon Musk. So how has Robinson found this new following amongst Trump’s “new right” fan base? In this special edition of the Daily T, @CamillaTominey and @kamalahmednews spoke to @lucymarionbrown and asked: how has he come to be hailed as a folk hero – and where do his true motivations lie?

Our partner @FacesLuton makes the case that #Farage, #Musk and @Conservatives have been weaponising the ‘grooming gang’ issue to their political advantage and thus endangering our Muslim community, who themselves totally condemn these appalling stories.
Please take a look at this blog from @petergmadams, responding To Musk, Farage and “Tommy” and grooming gangs. faces.org.uk/responding-to-m…

“He’s going up! Hallelujah!!” Back in the days of yore when St Marys church had a choir they used to sing from the tower on #AscensionDay. Vicar Rev @MikeJinLuton and @petergmadams were up there this morning to proclaim the risen and ascended Christ & dream about the future!

It’s been so good to get to know, learn from and work alongside @CivicMediators over the past few years. This is an intriguing project designed to find common ground from which to steer a way through conflicted issues.
