Stan Robinson, the Swansea-based far-right activist and co-founder of the Voice of Wales (VoW) video channel, is now marketing himself as a consultant to Britain’s defence industry sector.
Robinson has for the last few years been a pernicious fixture of the Welsh hard right, in partnership with convicted fraudster Dan Morgan, with whom he has run VoW since its inception.
Call centre scam
Morgan, who now styles himself Dan “Vow” after the initials of the group he co-founded, was convicted in October 2023 for his part in a large-scale call-centre scam that preyed on elderly and vulnerable people, stealing millions through bogus PPI refund promises.
Together, the pair have made a habit of targeting journalists, harassing local politicians, and platforming the likes of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon aka Tommy Robinson, with whom they have spent sunbed time in Spain.
Stan Robinson is no stranger to controversy. He has publicly advocated that the Sky News presenter Adam Boulton be “castrated with a rust blade,” shared photographs of journalists being hanged with approving captions, and declared the Spanish fascist dictator Francisco Franco his political hero.
He stood as UKIP’s general election candidate in Llanelli in 2024, polling a derisory 1.5% of the vote and losing his deposit.
Boy’s Own fantasy
Now, apparently undeterred by any of the above, Robinson has taken to LinkedIn to reinvent himself as a “Defence & Security Analyst developing Project Sentinel for resilience.”
Absurdly, he claims “over 5 years as a Defence & Security Analyst at Voice of Wales” before lurching off into Boy’s Own fantasy land, claiming to lead a “cutting-edge initiative inspired by the Royal Observer Corps, which leverages a mobile human sensor layer comprising winched aerostats, anomaly investigation drones, and trained volunteer observers.”
Believing his own total bollocks, he adds that he is, “open to collaboration with defence professionals, policymakers, and resilience planners” in pursuit of “meaningful advancements in counter-UAS strategies and practical emergency response frameworks.”
Due diligence
The defence sector, with its emphasis on security vetting and probity, might be expected to perform rudimentary due diligence on prospective associates.
Anyone minded to engage with Robinson need only spend a few minutes with the public record, or indeed with Searchlight’s own extensive coverage, to understand exactly who they would be dealing with.
