YouTube prankster gets Tommy Robinson to endorse his EDL parody movement

YouTube prankster gets Tommy Robinson to endorse his EDL parody movement

Cast your mind back a few months and you may recall the viral video of a young man who went undercover to mock the EDL.

YouTuber and comedian Niko Omilana went 'undercover as a racist' to an EDL march in Telford and recorded the entire thing, subtly mocking those on the march for their controversial views.

Niko's original video was a massive viral hit, but he's now back with a vengeance and has successfully pranked the group's co-founder: Tommy Robinson.

Robinson, who was recently released from prison, appears in a selfie video with Niko where he endorses the prankster's own parody version of the NDL (Niko Defence League).

It's not entirely clear how Niko managed to get access to Robinson (real name Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon) and how he convinced him to appear in a video, which was quite clearly mocking him, but it's gone down a treat on Twitter.

At the time of writing, Niko's video has been shared more than 1,000 times and liked over 8,000 times. And yes, we agree with Niko. He has peaked.

Watch the rest of Niko's video on his YouTube account.
