CASE FILE: The Staffordshire Patriots

The Staffordshire Patriots are led by Mike Dickinson AKA TimeToTalkMike, who posts regular anti-migrant content online. Despite PP’s claims to protect women and children, Mike is a defender of Andrew and Tristan Tate, claiming that “whether you like them or not, I truly believe they are being targeted” because “they’ve become a little bit unlikeable” and “the way they come across – all bolshy”.

He did not mention that, according to the CPS, Andrew Tate has been charged with: 10 counts of rape, three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, four counts of actual bodily harm, three counts of arranging or facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation, two counts of human trafficking, one count for controlling prostitution for gain and 19 charges for offences relating to indecent images of a child and extreme pornography. 

Tristian Tate has been charged with: five counts of rape, one count of sexual assault, four counts of actual bodily harm, four counts of human trafficking, one count of controlling prostitution for gain and three counts of arranging of facilitating trafficking for sexual exploitation.
