Reports big backlash against Thomas.
[It’s on X, Instagram and TikTok that
Skinner has really made a name for himself
in recent years, at first by going viral with
motivational morning messages,
often filmed in his much-loved Dino’s Café in East London
as he eats a steak pie and chips for breakfast.
But it’s social media that has also proven,
critics would argue, to be his undoing.
Well, X to be specific. As Elon Musk’s reign has
brought far-right content and conspiracy
theories thundering onto everyone’s timelines,
Skinner’s content has taken a political turn.
He’s praised Donald Trump as “brilliant”,
declared London unsafe and weighed in
on migrant hotels.
Savvy as ever, he hit monetise on his X account
in July and has said he’s donating any money
made to a local children’s charity. ]
