Danny Tommo, whose real name is Daniel Thomas, has become a key figure in organizing anti-migrant protests through a group called Patriot Platform. He is known for his past association with Tommy Robinson, a controversial British activist. According to Tommo, he has turned his life around since being released from prison in 2016, after serving a two-year sentence for attempted kidnapping. He now leads Patriot Platform, which he describes as a movement focused on protecting women and children from what he calls the threat of illegal migration. Tommo, 37, has a varied background, including time in the military as a former tank driver in the King's Royal Hussars, where he was medically discharged before active service. He has worked in construction, marketing, and web design. He has spoken about attending church regularly and seeking forgiveness for his past actions. His political involvement has grown over the years, including appearances at events with Tommy Robinson and participation in pro-Brexit rallies. In recent years, Tommo has partnered with Ryan Bridge, founder of the Raise the Colours movement, in efforts to disrupt migrant arrivals in the UK. A video showed the pair uncovering a stored migrant boat, referencing the Normandy landings with the name "Operation Overlord." However, Tommo has since separated from Bridge and launched his own movement, Patriot Platform, which he claims is one of the largest such efforts since World War II. Patriot Platform is organized into regional groups such as Swindon Patriots and Coventry Patriots, and its website promotes the slogan, "Together, we will take our country back." The group has raised nearly £10,000 through fundraising, with plans to use boats and buses for their activities. Tommo emphasizes that Patriot Platform is not far-right and has strict rules, including bans on alcohol, drugs, shouting, and flag waving. He distinguishes his group from the English Defence League, a more openly far-right organization. Recent protests organized by Patriot Platform included around 300 masked demonstrators in Dover, who blocked roads and access to the port. In a video, Tommo urged participants to "protect our country" and "our women and children." These protests were widely criticized by mainstream political parties. Similar demonstrations took place in Portsmouth, where protesters blocked roads after migrant rescues. Police were caught off guard in Dover, and demonstrators only dispersed after police issued orders to leave. A government spokesperson condemned the actions, emphasizing that while peaceful protest is protected, it must not turn into disorder.
