Racist Sheffield, UK Far Right Organiser Jacob Thomas visits California
Jacob Thomas British far right organiser visits California be Aware
Years ago back in my college days, or Uni as we called it in the UK, when I started studying in my Tech and IT degree in Sheffield is when I first started becoming political and helping out with my local anti fascist branches.
Back then in 2015, the local bigots & fascists were backing UKIP and Brexit but there were the even more extreme branch who were involved in the National Front and English Neo-Nazism. That’s when I first met and crossed with a local far right organiser and agitator called Jacob Thomas, (who also goes by Jake Spellman) originally from Cranbrook in Kent, England. He promoted racist and violence and ended up getting kicked off the course I was on for his criminal record and racist social media posts.
Fast forward 11 years and my journey through the tech industry has taken me to pastures new in the Bay Area and I thought Jacob Thomas would be nothing but a footnote unless I had to visit a relative back in the UK who ended up in prison.
Anyway as I was walking with my boyfriend through a tourist area I saw this man, only I didn’t believe it could be him until he made homophobic slurs towards me and my boyfriend in that familiar British accent.
After some social media digging I found he was indeed visiting California and still holds racist views.
Anyway I thought I’d raise the alarm on this because I find it really concerning that Trump is happy allowing easy access to white violent criminals from the UK but not hard working Mexicans.
Attached are some social media posts from this dark individual who seems to have now graduated to the far right restore party. Not only does it concern me that violent criminals can gain entry to the US but it scares me that one’s spreading hate can too.
