New Brexit Party AM calls Tommy Robinson 'courageous'

One of the Brexit Party's new AMs has called far-right activist Tommy Robinson a 'courageous character'. David Rowlands said the ex-English Defence League (EDL) leader 'reflects the views of a great many people'. The comments contrast with those of Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who has called Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, a 'thug'. The Brexit Party said Mr Rowlands' was giving a personal view that did not 'in any way' reflect the party's position.
