Tommy Robinson’s new range of merch was made in Bangladesh

Before wrapping yourself in a Tommy Robinson-branded Union Jack and £20 bucket hat and heading to a migrant hotel, would you like to know where they were made?

The anti-Muslim activist has been furiously promoting clothing from his Unite The Kingdom range but it turns out the UK-emblazoned t-shirts, caps and key rings weren’t made in this country by British workers.

Robinson’s merch range was actually manufactured in Bangladesh, a majority Muslim country, the Daily Mail revealed.

The label on the products, that only arrive after the obligatory 14-day shipping from Asia, actually say ‘Made in Bangladesh’.

Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, uses his X account to promote the brand ahead of his ‘patriotic’ September 13 march.

The manufacturer is a Belgian company called Stanley/Stella which have 11 suppliers based in Bangladesh and one located in China, according to a Fair Wear audit last year.

The foundation’s report says the Brussels company pays its Bangladeshi workers the equivalent of around 36p per hour and has been previously accused of running sweatshops.

Ahead of his rally on September 13, Robinson posted a sweaty gym video in his UTK branded t-shirt. He said on X: ‘Get your UTK & MEGA merch here’, with a link to the website.

Yaxley-Lennon has furiously denied he was a ‘thug’ after he was invited to Israel by Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli.

Chikli posted on X, inviting Robinson to visit in mid-October in the wake of the Manchester terror attack.

He said: ‘Tommy is a courageous leader on the front line against radical Islam. At a time when Jews across Europe face rising antisemitism, it is vital to strengthen bonds with allies who refuse to be silent. He has proven himself a true friend of Israel and the Jewish people, unafraid to speak the truth and confront hate.’

But the Jewish Leadership Council distanced itself from the activist, replying: ‘Tommy Robinson is a thug who represents the very worst of Britain. His presence undermines those genuinely working to tackle Islamist extremism and foster community cohesion.

‘Minister Chikli has proven himself to be a Diaspora Minister in name only. In our darkest hour, he has ignored the views of the vast majority of British Jews, who utterly and consistently reject Robinson and everything he stands for.’

But Robinson waded in: ‘Being willing to defend yourself doesn’t make you a thug it makes you a man.

‘I have a right to defend myself as Israel has the right defend itself [sic].’
