Dictionary publishers grateful for new definition of 'irony' after Tommy Robinson flees to another

[Soph0571]

country ‘to keep his family safe’

Former EDL leader and professional gammon-herder Tommy Robinson has been thanked by dictionary publishers today, for providing the perfect definition of ‘irony’.

Robinson has fled the country with his family, citing concerns for their safety and expects another nation to take them in and allow them to stay – even though their chosen country isn’t the nearest country to which he could have moved.

Currently resident in Spain, and in a move that makes him sound more and more like a refugee, Robinson insisted he no longer feels safe in the UK and only moved to Spain to ensure he can live without fear of persecution for his beliefs, which are at odds with a large majority of his native country.

However, the move has been welcomed by dictionary makers, with the team from the Oxford English Dictionary saying it’s proven very helpful to have a new ‘gold-standard’ definition.

“Thankfully, Tommy has turned up in another country claiming he had to leave his homeland for the safety of his family after years bemoaning immigrants in the UK having done precisely the same.

“And that is just deliciously ironic.”

Emphasis mine

Satire, but not really. It is great he is gone but I really want Spain to kick him out - see if he applies for asylum
All of the ironies... cause he really did say he moved to Spain because of being persecuted for his far right racist views, and wanted to protect his family... and he really does not see the double standard of fleeing to a foreign country for safety having tried for years to stop our country from accepting families who are fleeing from actual persecution has caused actual harm.
