Far right activist calls for ‘all forms of Islam’ to be expelled from Britain
Martin Shipton
A prominent far right Welsh activist who dislikes being described as far right has stated that “all forms of Islam” should be expelled from Britain and has defended the right of a Reform Mayoral candidate to tell Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy to “go back to the Caribbean”.
Richard Taylor is currently the leader of the Advance UK party in Wales. The party is led by Reform UK’s former deputy leader Ben Habib, although its best known member is the serial criminal Stephen Yaxley Lennon, better known by his alias ‘Tommy Robinson’.
Taylor has previously stood for Westminster and the Senedd for the Brexit Party and the Abolish The Welsh Assembly Party respectively, and became known across the UK through his previously frequent appearances as a pundit on GB News.
A self-confessed teenage criminal, burglar and drug user originally from Llanelli, he wrote an autobiography about how he found Jesus in prison.
Subsequently he became a pastor at an evangelical church in Cwmbran, but he left suddenly following a financial dispute and – as he put it in a podcast – after he “committed adultery against [his] wife”.
In the 2019 general election he stood as the Brexit Party’s candidate in Blaenau Gwent, coming second to re-elected Labour MP Nick Smith, who was 8,647 votes ahead of him.
By 2021 he had defected to the Abolish the Welsh Assembly Party. He stood for the Senedd, also in Blaenau Gwent, coming fifth with 1,364 votes (6.6% of the total vote). Sitting Labour MS Alun Davies was re-elected.
Subsequently he joined Reform, but left earlier this year after party leader Nigel Farage distanced himself from Robinson.
The anti-fascist group Far Right Watch Wales said at the time in a statement circulated to its supporters: “The feelgood factor that Reform party bosses apparently felt after the UK general election, when the right wing populist party saw five MPs elected, must have evaporated when news reached them that they’d suffered a seismic defection in Wales with the announcement from Richard Taylor on his Facebook page that he was leaving the party in protest at its refusal to support Taylor’s political hero the far right grifter in-chief Tommy ’10 names and 10 criminal convictions’ Robinson.
“We are of course being jocular – word has reached us from inside Reform that party activists in Wales breathed a huge sigh of relief that someone with Taylor’s alarming personal history and dubious political past had publicly flounced out of the party because it isn’t extreme right wing enough for him.
“That alarming history includes Taylor’s threats to a Welsh journalist after an expose detailing claims against Taylor of the exploitation of vulnerable people at a church rehab programme he was involved in the days when he was a self styled pastor with an ‘evangelical church’ in Cwmbran. Taylor made the threat when he was standing as a candidate for the Abolish the Welsh Assembly party in the 2021 Senedd elections.
“[His] dubious political history shows a bewildering habit of swapping political parties … It wasn’t long before he was seeking new political pastures once again – jumping from the Wales haters of Abolish to Farage’s newly formed Reform party.
“It’s perhaps fitting that since moving to Llanell, Taylor has been regularly spotted ‘working out’ at a local gym with another far right felon – Dan Morgan, the Voice of Wales co-founder who received a suspended jail sentence for his part in a massive insurance scam which included defrauding elderly people out of their life savings.”
Dan Wootton
This week Taylor appeared on the YouTube channel of far right presenter Dan Wootton, who left GB News after failing to intervene when the far right actor Laurence Fox made sexually disparaging comments about journalist Ava Evans.
During a discussion about the Muslim religion, Taylor said: “We should expel all forms of Islam in this country. Now, I know people might call me far right and racist for that comment. Go ahead and do that.”
In the same programme Wootton raised the issue of Reform UK Mayoral candidate Chris Parry, who had said Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy should “go back to the Caribbean” even though he was born in Britain.
Wootton said: “I genuinely feel like David Lammy should fuck off because he called all Brexit voters Nazis. So seriously, fuck him, you know? Yeah, his cry racism shtick should just be ignored by Reform UK. It really should. And I don’t know much about this Chris Parry bloke, but I certainly know that he should not lose his political career for making that comment, because Lammy never lost his political career for calling me a Nazi, for attacking Donald Trump as a Nazi, which is way more sick and way more racist.”
‘Race card’
Taylor responded: “David Lammy has proven that time and time again. He always uses the race card. If you look at his actual performance as Foreign Secretary [sic], we’ve had people released from prison that shouldn’t be released. He wants to scrap juries, which is, you know, part of our great British justice. And when you consider he wants reparations, which in his mind is justice and slavery was ended by a white man. May I remind your viewers of that?”
Later in the programme Taylor describes Tommy Robinson as a “living legend”, says that Farage is “not the Messiah” and that Reform UK will implode. Taylor claimed that Advance UK already has 40,000 members and that more and more people will turn to it.
He was looking forward to attending a mass rally planned by Robinson to be held in central London next May.
A political source said: “Richard Taylor may have had a makeover and grown his hair to make himself appear more trendy, but he’s the same racist and charlatan that he always was.”

Who Knew? We do now…another face for n.c’s ‘Rogues Gallery’…
He looks like a European Heinz 57…
On Not Wanted in Cymru posters everywhere…
Is there a Wuhan type wet market somewhere down in the deep south of Cymru…
Well that’s one way of describing Abergavenny…
Yet another hard line hard right Nazi that’s slithered out of the swamp.
Perfect for garage and his band of antisemitic, racist bots giving their one line opinions up above.
Funny how this Christian religion is suddenly held up as something by people that have no idea. They want to cherry pick what we are supposed to believe forgetting where their religion grew up in the need to attack another, something the UK (prev known as England) has been doing for centuries. Where would he start with what the UK did to the world in the name of religion? Jallianwala Bagh for example, the tail end of what Clive did, or slavery, entwined with UK interest’s in the name of Empire and East India company. But forgets the massive sacrifice… Read more »
Most have never actually read Genesis, just the excerpts that the vicar read out to them… possibly in school. Never mind leviticus.
I read it cover to cover once. Took a while. Decided it was not for me, that was when I had arguments at RE in school and told to leave. I would fit into this chumps world vision as not wanted. I cannot remember it and no desire to when I can look bits up on the web but I know they are there. But yeah, there are parts that are no way fit for today. If he wants to see another bit of history us “Christians” visited on the world then look at Australia. Problem with this mob is… Read more »
LMAO. I had exactly the same thing happen to me, ‘not permitted to return to these lessons’… my parents were… to the teacher’s frustration… so proud.
The argument they tell me is that “it happened centuries ago, we’re not doing that now, we learned to be better”… completely forgetting that the Northern Ireland issue was rife with Catholic v Protestant extremism.
And the Welsh want all of the racist filth kept out of Wales, but they still turn up like bad smells.
Very true. Not much point responding to these racist hate filled bots as their comments will get deleted soon enough. They have completely forgotten about Bosnia. Was Axel a Muslim? Southport was completely made up?
We do need them to reply as the interaction means I can aquire their physical locations.
I doubt any of these bots live in the UK. Moscow most likely. Mike T and Adrian. Common enough names to go unnoticed until they start typing.
Mike’s probably just a Tory, we do have them in Wales sadly.
They live, breathe & walk amongst us!
I can’t see the politics of the fundamentalist Christian right translating well here. America was formed by religious extremists wanting freedoms they couldn’t get here. The flip side of that is this island is descended from those that didn’t get excited about all that stuff. Witness the sad turnout at Fake Tommy’s carol service.
I think you’re right. When the aristos were sucking up to Oswald Mosley and his fascist chums, the working class in London’s East End would have none of it. Now that the working class is no longer a coherent social group, we need to remember what their forefathers stood for, that they could see through the attempts to divide them, and fought back.
He found Jesus in prison. Well, if he looketh closely, he’ll find Jesus in the Quran – as a great prophet.
Well Ten Party Taylor I would like all extreme right wing criminal racists to be kicked out of Britain, but as the Stones said “you can’t always get what you want.”
Falling for this sort of crap deflects from Farage’s underlying aims; to asset strip what remains of the ‘family silver’, the NHS, Universities, and the BBC, opening the door to complete American domination of our culture, together with further self-enrichment.
Take note of the far right religious whack jobs coming for rights, removal of rights. And are already in farages circle.

The removal of workers rights would play into their project, while masking this as some sort of absurd religious crusade.
Cant have rights when you want to strip mine the place.
See removal of ECHR.
Farage is also in with those that will remove women’s rights.
When students and young people used to take to the streets, it was against home-grown fascism. While they now understandably come out in droves to support Gaza, I’m not sure they realise what’s coming up behind them in the rear view mirror.
Why do all self-declared members of the ‘master race’ look like incest and bestiality run in their family?
Comment of the day
Good work sir!
You don’t ask for their family tree, you ask for their family wreath.
A despicable and dangerous character – no wonder even Reform were delighted to get rid of this charlatan. And there’s nothing very ‘christian’ about the language he uses in a video he made in which he makes a revolting attack on a nation cymru journalist – it can be seen on the FRWW facebook page.
Why doesn’t Dan Wootton go back to where he came from? (New Zealand)
Anyone else think that dodgy haircut looks like he’s trying a pound shop imitation of the methods of Howard Marks, considering both have been involved in criminality and drugs.
But while Marks went from studying physics at Cambridge University to become a globe-trotting genius in evading major major law enforcement agencies, Taylor went from serial petty criminal to party-hopping between various dodgy neo fascist groups.
Evangelical Christians from the most extreme end of that sectarian faction are some of the craziest and most irrational people whom I’ve encountered over the course of my life.
All the more so because, unlike your average crazy who tends to be intellectually vacuous and unhinged, the extremer evangelicals do have a sort of creed and philosophy. It’s just one that, to any rational person, is both intellectually incredible and often deeply ethically unpleasant.
I have encountered the same among Muslims, the hizb u tahreer in the 1990s in London. This group later became the muhajiroon and then bombed around London. I had heated arguments with them and their anger and their words and their stickers and their understanding of the quran. Yes they stuck stickers around London with the words caliphate coming soon. The mass media always wanted their opinion especially after Sept 11th. Why? We are condemning that terrorist massacre and these clowns are saying yes well deserved. And that is all the useless mass media kept publishing. History is repeating itself… Read more »
It might be useful if these extremists spent more time with their Bible, Quran and Torah to realise that they preach the exact opposite.
Can we expel Christianity while we’re at it? It’s not like it was born here. >:D
Already happened once, when Henry v8 abolished the established church and replaced it with a fake version he set up that allowed his “immorality”.
It is very frightening to hear some people’s thoughts on religion and people with different colour skin. They are human beings as we are. Richard Taylor is not to be trusted or listened to. A devious little man
