Patriotic Platform's organiser, Danny Tommo's history is worth knowing.

Despite his working class pretences, Tommo's from a privately-educated backround and was (briefly) in the Army as a tank driver but was medically discharged without ever seeing any active service. He seems to have got involved with drug-related criminal gangs and was jailed in 2016 for two years for a botched knifepoint kidnapping. At some point after leaving prison he found God and Tommy Robinson and has travelled up and down the UK involving himself in anti-immigration politics. Tommo's "handpicked" masked blackshirts include many men who have criminal convictions for violence, including domestic abuse.

Tommo's said about himself:

“everyone deserves a second chance..I now go to church every Sunday and pray for forgiveness”
