United Kingdom, storm over extremist Danny Tommo for boarding a dinghy in the English Channel

Tensions linked to the anti-migrant protests in the United Kingdom are back, where there is a storm over right-wing extra-parliamentary extremist Danny Tommo: protagonist in the last few hours of a private boarding in the waters of the English Channel - conducted aboard a motorboat acquired specifically by his movement and advertised on social media - against a dinghy with alleged "illegal immigrants" arriving from France, as well as at least one French rescuer on board. The episode revived the climate of threats reported by NGOs, but also by British sea rescue institutions. While there is talk of police investigations and a possible arrest of Tommo. The images taken by his associates show him in the foreground as he pulls over the 'small boat', 'warns' the occupants that they are "entering British waters" and finally slashes its hull with a knife.

Who is Danny Tommo, the English ultranationalist activist

The blitz is only the latest extreme action promoted by Daniel Thomas, alias Danny Tommo, who has emerged in recent weeks as the leader of an extremist movement and organizer of marches of "hooded" people against the ports of Dover and Portsmouth, landing places in the south of England: marches denounced as expressions of "hooliganism" by Andy Burnham's Labor government (which then ordered the police to crack down on anyone protesting in masks) and even criticized by Reform UK, anti-immigration British Trumpian right-wing party led by Nigel Farage. Tommo is indicated by the media as the former driver and bodyguard of Tommy Robinson, a tribune of the English nationalist ultra-right who was tried and convicted in the past for crimes of street violence, incitement to racial or religious hatred and common crimes: known for his Islamophobic positions, as well as for the sympathy he has for some time received from members of Benjamin Netanyahu's Israeli government.
