Where better for an anti immigration activist to seek asylum than in the good ol’ US of A! With GOP help, natch.
The anti-immigration activist Tommy Robinson asked wealthy American backers to help him claim asylum in the US, the Guardian has learned, while his team approached the Republican senator Ted Cruz’s office about securing a visa.
Court documents released in the US show the English Defence League founder discussed moving his family to Texas in 2019, where he would earn money by speaking at venues “including evangelical churches”.
Such was the influence of Robinson’s supporters that they asked advisers to Cruz, the Republican former presidential candidate, for legal advice on securing an extended visa for “someone who needs protection”.

I’m writing my congressional delegation (Massachusetts) today to bring this to their attention and see what they can do to block it

Well "Tommy Robinson" does fit much better with his face and his fan base than his real name, Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon. That sounds suspiciously...posh. Might as well be named Jacob Rees-Mogg.
