He describes a taxi driver as a "little p**i that drives a car".

A video has emerged of right-wing activist Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, boasting about scoring drugs and proclaiming himself "king of the whole Islam race". In a bizarre video that shows the EDL founder on holiday in Bologna, he brags about being able to get drugs wherever he goes, and also says that he would fight on behalf of Israel in a war tomorrow. "If there was a war tomorrow, which there will be, 'cos I'll probably start it at the end of this sesh, if there was a war, and it kicked off, I would be there on the front line fighting for Israel. Do you know why? Because why not?" He also films himself as he tries to book a taxi, and describes it by saying: "you know, little p**i that drives a car." You can watch the video in full on The Independent here. Robinson has previously said in the past that he is not a racist, and gained a following in 2018 when he was sent to jail for breaking contempt of court laws for streaming a Facebook Live outside court in Leeds. Over the weekend, a group of Rangers fans attracted controversy for unveiling a "Sir Tommy Robinson" flag. A spokesman for Rangers said: “This banner was taken down as soon as it was spotted.”
