POST Robinson and soldiers THE Army is investigat­ing after far-right activist Tommy Robinson posted a photograph of himself surrounded by soldiers.

The former English Defence League leader, 35, shared a picture of himself posing with a group of grinning young men in camouflage uniform.

He also posted a video of himself on Monday with a crowd of Army personnel who started cheering and shouting his name.

“A moment like this makes it all worth while. Today I met real British heroes,” he wrote online.

The Army said it is aware of the snap and footage. It was “investigat­ing the circumstan­ces”.

It added: “Far-right ideology is completely at odds with the values of the Armed Forces.”
