Charlton Athletic have cut ties with a prominent sponsor after he appeared to endorse Tommy Robinson on his social media profile. Darren New is a life-long Charlton fan whose companies have sponsored the club in various ways as well as Charlton Athletic Community Trust events. Charlton officials had spoken of him last year as “part of the Charlton family”. This week, New had posted on his X account statements that appeared sympathetic to far-right agitator known as Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. On Sunday, New re-posted a video of Robinson claiming the current violence was not his fault but the fault of the UK’s immigration policies and two-tier policing adding, “Not one thing that he says here is controversial or incorrect”. The following day, he reposted a Robinson video interview with Alex Jones in which Robinson claimed the riots were provoked and orchestrated by the police and UK government adding, “The truth below and if you can’t see this you need to register for a guide dog”.

Now’s the time to please check in on your Black, Brown and minority friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. In many parts of the country, they don’t feel safe. A thread:

Just in: Birmingham, England, Aug . 5 — Armed "Muslim patrol" members surrounded and attacked a pub after marching around the area looking for white right-wingers to attack. (The rumored "far-right" protest never materialized.) The Muslim rioters attacked journalists and slashed up the vehicle of a Sky News team. @WMPolice said they had "well-rehearsed plans in place" to deal with right-wing protests. But they did not show up to the group of around 300 Muslims who mobilized for a direct action.

Muslim immigrants gang attack a British man outside a pub 😡
