Tommy Robinson caught doing what he'd call 'globalism'


A clothing line promoted by Tommy Robinson is dissolving after it was exposed for outsourcing to Bangladesh. Given that Robinson is an ultra nationalist, many have criticised him for not using British workers to make his British tat:

Ironically, this is what people like him call ‘globalism’:

Hats off to Tommy Robinson

The Daily Mail exposed Tommy Robinson’s links to the Bangladeshi hat operation on 5 October. A day later Metro reported that ‘Nation Wear Limited’ would be dissolved via a compulsory strike-off, and that’s now happened according to Companies House.

Robinson isn’t listed under the ‘People’ section on Companies House. In fact, the only person who is listed is Cimen Metin, a Turkish marketing specialist:

Bloody Turkish marketing execs, coming over here and sartorialising our nationalists.

Robinson promoted the clothing in a video in which he appeared to be sweating worse than anyone has ever sweat:

The Nation Wear shop is live as of right now, with their line of tat including:

Clothing and key rings from the Nation Wear shop

To be fair to the people behind this, when they called it ‘Nation Wear’ they didn’t specify which nation; it’s your fault if you saw the Union Jacks and assumed you were supporting the United Kingdom.

People made fun of Robinson online (pictured here with a hat which seems to be two times too big for him):

‘Globalism’

Generally, the term ‘globalist’ is used by the right as a slur to describe politicians who engage in globalisation (e.g. by facilitating migration or trade). Conspiracy theorists also use the term as a dog whistle for the ‘global Jewish conspiracy’, with the idea being that countries are being forcibly connected by a shadowy cabal of international elites.

While it’s not inevitable that increased global connectivity leads to increased poverty, it is the case that we’ve got poorer in the West at the same time that we’ve outsourced previously well-paying manufacturing jobs to countries like Bangladesh. We’re not poorer because of foreign people, though, we’re poorer because rich people keep getting richer. There’s always plenty of money; what’s changing is where that money is concentrated.

Generally, when Tommy Robinson throws ‘globalist’ around, he’s talking about politicians who support migration rather than politicians who support paying people in the global south poverty wages to make threadbare bucket hats:

Things have shifted a bit on the ‘globalist’ front, however, with this next tweet leading us to the why of that:

Donald Trump has superficially pursued an ‘America First’ agenda, and as part of this he’s promised to bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. While Trump’s braindead tariff plan seems doomed to failure, he has succeeded on one front, and that’s changing the debate on the right.

Like most Western right wingers, Robinson has fallen in line behind Trump, and that means going along with his ‘isolationist’ narratives. In other words, no more importing fabric from people you think are “destroying the very fabric of our society”:

Tweet which reads: "Commonwealth citizens from high-migration countries like Bangladesh, Ghana and of course Pakistan, can vote in the UK from day one on temporary visas, student visas, and work permits. The political class are sacrificing our women and children at the altar of multiculturalism, destroying the very fabric of our society, for votes!"

Tommy Robinson: scams

Neither Trump nor Tommy Robinson have any idea how we can return manufacturing back to the West, but they don’t need to. Really, they just need to keep their supporters constantly angry, and then cream a bit of money off them every so often through a crypto scam or merch drop.

That aside, it’s sad to see England’s most prominent nationalist become a NationWearLimitedist.

This fucking country.
