Since he is too extreme even for Nigel Farage, and has convictions for violence, fraud, and illegal entry into the USA, anyone supporting him has no morals. UKIP used him as an adviser, and tore itself apart about it. While his main purpose is being anti-Islam, the overlap with "do anything to get out of the EU with No Deal as the best way" is considerable, especially, I'd think, those contemplating violence.
A Philadelphia-based thinktank, the Middle East Forum (MEF), acknowledges it has spent about $60,000 (£47,000) on Robinson’s legal fees and demonstrations staged in London earlier this year. A senior MEF executive has been closely involved in preparations for this weekend’s march, though the thinktank said she was there in a personal capacity.
A US tech billionaire, Robert Shillman, financed a fellowship that helped pay for Robinson to be employed in 2017 by a rightwing Canadian media website, the Rebel Media, on a salary of about £5,000 a month.
A small Australian rightwing group, Australian Liberty Alliance, says it has helped fund Robinson, but did not disclose how much.
A New York City-based thinktank, the Gatestone Institute, has published a succession of articles supporting Robinson’s cause.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center (DHFC), a California-based thinktank that describes itself as a “school for political warfare”, has published a series of pieces defending Robinson, and has lobbied for him to address US politicians.

Nick Ryan, of campaign group Hope Not Hate, said Robinson’s message was being amplified by a “powerful international network of anti-Muslim figures”, from Donald Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon to the leader of Ukip.
Writing for The Independent, he said American anti-Islam commentator Pamela Gellar had provided him financial support and the alt-right website Breitbart lobbied Donald Trump’s ambassador for international religious freedom lobbied the British government over Robinson’s case.
