This woman’s takedown of Tommy Robinson out on the campaign trail in Salford is just perfect
Tommy Robinson, or Stephen Yaxley-Lennon to use his real name, wants to be an MEP and has been out on the campaign trail in the north-west of England.
Here he is being told exactly where to get off by a woman in Salford and it’s our favourite moment of the European elections (okay, not a crowded field) so far.
Stick with it – fortunately for us, it’s easier to hear her than it is to hear him.
Tommy Robinson thinking he can use Salford as a recruiting ground and getting seen off by this woman is 👏 so 👏 good 👏 pic.twitter.com/buYW6ap4u9

Beautifully done.
"Do you really, or are you just spouting any old shite?" This Salford woman tells Tommy Robinson where to go. Well said. https://t.co/lIENf9O9sZ

Says it all , telling her she is missing the point, he is agressive, condescending and bullying. That tactic doesn't work with people who think for themselves and recognise shite when they hear it, his supporters don't think too much or recognise the shite he is piling on them

Political quote of the week from the Queen of Salford to Yacker Yaxley “you’re just spouting any old shite…” 👏 https://t.co/3Ow4uC8dzs

A middle aged man in ripped jeans is a crime in itself.

please enjoy Tommy Robinson getting an absolute kicking from this brilliant lady in Salford.
he's so out of his depth it's unreal, can you really imagine the little prick holding his own as an MEP? https://t.co/oMaUqYrvhQ

"You are just spouting any old shite." Superbly dispatched over the fence for six. https://t.co/0lGAaqCIu6

Is he practicing his line dancing whilst talking to her?

Someone also had a question.
Great to see and everything, but I have a question:
Do all the shops in Salford have random and unattributed prices and percentages printed on their windows?
Is this shop Numberwang? pic.twitter.com/h8OOx2xWOz

It's Bright House a high markup credit store. Exploits people with poor credit ratings. The sign in the window is revealing. "You'll never pay more than Double"

They sound like vultures – presumably why Yaxley-Lennon is drawn to its shopfront.

To conclude …
This makes me so proud.
Don’t mess with us Northern Lasses! https://t.co/PxesSx8xF2
