Paypal has told former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson it will no longer process payments on his behalf.

Mr Robinson said the online payments system told him he did not fit within its user guidelines and would never be able to use the platform again.

He said he had been using the platform to collect donations to fight his legal battles and branded the ban "fascism".

Online petitions calling on finance firms to sever links with him have gained thousands of signatures.

In a statement, Paypal said it could not comment on individual customers but added that it regularly reviewed accounts to ensure their use aligned with its acceptable use policy.

User Banned (1 Week): Thread derailment and history of provocative drive-by trolling
Paypal is a horrible company, they mindlessly ban all sorts of users with absolutely no explanation.

Don't support these monsters.

Can we call him Stephen Yaxley-Lennon please. Because that's his name and he doesn't like it.

Google it, they have been locking up people's funds for years. Terrible business practices.
There have been some problematic cases with frozen funds (usually temporary and got solved in the end if it was for the wrong reasons).

This is not a widespread problem, however, and this case here is also not problematic or questionable at all.

Good going PayPal. You have my respect on this one. That's one of the main reason these fuckers spew such one sided, hypocritical and bigoted hate anyway, for the money. Too many of their most ardent supporters are just too ignorant and inept to know it.

But his page has 'shielded status' on facebook. Meaning things that would get other people banned, will not get his page banned.

Seems like the head of an extremely violent neo nazi group would be an easy ban.

He's slowly getting banned from everything because of his one sided hate campeign against Muslims but using these bans as a badge of honour to point out how he's the oppressed one. I'm sure his like-minded lackeys will get him the money he would have got through PayPal but I'm happy it might have inconvenienced him even just a little.

The comments from idiots on Facebook calling Paypal fascists for this delicious, without a hint of irony, are delicious.

He also used the funds given to him to buy a £900,000 house. Being a racist and getting gulable people to give you money is a good racket these days.

Oh he's very good at it, playing the victim.

He's managed to carve out an identity as some oppressed truth seeker
