Tommy Robinson’s convicted pal Danny Tommo burst into my home and tried to kidnap me at knifepoint

TOMMY Robinson’s convicted friend Danny Tommo burst into a man’s home and tried to kidnap him at knifepoint alongside two accomplices.

Graham Page, 38, said he would join activists protesting at Dover and Portsmouth over the weekend because of his history with the demonstrations’ organiser.

Daniel Thomas, the man behind the protests, once tried to kidnap Graham at knifepoint in a case of mistaken identity.

A court heard how Thomas burst into Graham’s home in Hayling Island, Hampshire, with two accomplices – shouting “you’re coming with us.”

The trio are then said to have punched and kicked Graham and tried to drag him out into the street but Graham managed to cling onto a door frame.

During sentencing in 2016, the judge described the incident as an “extraordinarily frightening incident” and berated Thomas and the other two men for their “stupidity.”

Following the attempted kidnapping the activist organiser pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years behind bars.

Once he was released from prison Thomas adopted the name he goes by today and connected with Tommy Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League.

Following his release, Thomas said “everyone deserves a second chance” and told how he attended church weekly to “pray for forgiveness.”

Graham said he was asked to attend the protests organised by Thomas over the weekend but didn’t go because of his history with the organiser.

The dad said: “I don’t like him: I think he’s an idiot because of the previous things [he has done]. He trails in Tommy Robinson’s shadow.

“I see stuff on Facebook [and] what he is doing is good. I just don’t like him. Everyone tries to invite me to these protest groups, but it’s just not my kind of thing.”

Thomas helped rally hundreds of balaclava-clad supporters to descend on the south coast across two huge anti-migrant protests over the weekend.

He claims to have turned his life around after finding Christianity and took credit for a “stop the boats” protest that brought Dover to a standstill on Saturday.

Thomas was filmed in Dover alongside hundreds from Patriot Platform – a group he launched in June.

He describes it as a “growing Christian patriotic army” and has claimed more than 40,000 people have signed up.

On social media, he shared footage of protesters marching through Kent on Saturday, adding “this is only the beginning”.

Another video showed the words “blood is on your hands” spray-painted on the ground near the UK’s busiest ferry port.

The privately educated dad-of-four, from Hampshire, previously worked as a tank driver with the King’s Royal Hussars, according to reports.

But it is understood he was discharged on medical grounds before seeing active service.

Prior to giving up work to dedicate “everything to the cause”, Thomas also reportedly worked as a bricklayer and ran his own web design firm.

Before launching Patriot Platform, he helped organised a UKIP rally and Brexit Betrayal march.

After launching Patriot Platform, Thomas managed to find himself receiving a large sum of cash from an American conservative think tank.

However he was accused of misappropriating some of the money for his own use.

Yesterday, he appeared outside the Daily Mail’s offices in London after claiming they had revealed his mum’s address online.
