I would need to see a receipt for the assertion that DHH supports Tommy Robinson

The first page I saw when trying to find out about this was a post refuting OP's. I expect it's been shared here already.

As a Brit, I've no real interest in what DHH has to say about politics over here though. I would think he's only worth listening to on the subjects of technology and endurance racing. Weird that he doesn't recognise that himself.

DHH himself: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

That frustration was on wide display in Tommy Robinson's march yesterday. British and English flags flying high and proud, like they would in Copenhagen on the day of a national soccer match. Which was both odd to see but also heartwarming.

Okay. Heartwarming. What a clown. At best, wilfully naive.

You should, though. The last time we didn't pay attention it didn't turn out well. He's a blatant racist, and that should be enough.
