The bravado in public of activist Tommy Robinson is not a sideshow for the cameras that position themselves outside Parliament for a spectacle.
It’s a calculated attempt to challenge political thinking by one single person.
His approach to it is derived from the benefit of having known prized military information from his mother’s side.
It’s a sort of “received wisdom” that isn’t useful unless it’s put into something specific. In his case it’s believed to be military terminology, and language on its own.
This has helped him to speak between the ‘lines’, so to speak, that others can choose to use because they’re enabled to do so.
His perception therefore is based on insight that helps him in context, but it’s his effort that makes the difference for his platform.
This makes his show of strength a problematic cause for controversy and a reason for repeated and ongoing unrest in the UK.
