Anti-immigration campaigner Tommy Robinson has become a refugee after fleeing the UK to seek a new life abroad.
Robinson, the founder of the English Defence League, says he took his family out of the UK after an arson attack on his wife's property.
He says he is now stranded abroad as he can't return because of Covid-19 and the quarantine rules.
And he says he is looking to find a permanent new home for his family - having campaigned against the UK remaining part of the EU.
The former English Defence League (EDL) leader – real-name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – took to Twitter to explain why he left the UK after an attack.
“It [the arson attack] was targeted against my wife's property," he said.
“At that point we left the country straight away and I'm looking at relocating my family, which is pretty hard to do, especially with Covid – I couldn't even get a hotel.”
Mr Robinson said he had planned to return to the country this weekend for a planned demonstration but couldn't because of the quarantine rules - with many suggesting that means he is now in Spain.
He continued: “Obviously my wife has had enough of everything — someone gave her somewhere to stay, so we left the country, and I was due to be flying back for the demonstration, but now with this 14-day quarantine, I probably won't get back out and my kids are out here.
“I’m still in the process of finding a permanent relocation for them.
"I need my family to be away because they are not safe basically."
The far-right activist said the alleged incident took place following his comments denouncing the Black Lives Matter protest.
