Take Katie Hopkins for example. I guarantee that even SHE doesn't believe half of the worst things she comes out with / that generate hatred and threats towards her... But she's built her entire career around it so she carries on. Robinson isn't much different really, just the working class underbelly of "journalists" like Hopkins.

I agree, its less to do with politics, and more to do with him trying to work out ways to get money and a publicity boost.
He had no message here, this was just about YouTube views. I would bet my money on there being a link to ways you can financially support Robinson on that YouTube video.
But as long as he has a devoted fanbase, the work he does, or doesnt do, is irrelevant. He will carry on being the exact same irritant, because his fanbase are still daft enough to buy in to his every word/the authenticity of his YouTube vids.
