Tommy Robinson is a far-right agitator accused of helping stoke England's worst riots in over a decade -- seemingly from a sun lounger in Cyprus.

While anti-immigrant demonstrators have been chanting his name at disturbances over the past week, Robinson has been commenting on the protests from abroad through countless social media posts.
