CEO Of UK Non-Profit Apologizes For Following Tommy Robinson On X
‘Accidentally’? Really?
A FIVE MONTH investigation found the action caused “hurt, distress, fear and anger”
| ModernityNews.
The CEO of a professional body of therapists in the UK has been forced to issue a grovelling apology after it was discovered that he was following Tommy Robinson on X.
James Esses notes that the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists were informed back in August that its Chief Executive Steve Jamieson’s personal X account was following Robinson, who the organisation describes as a “far–right activist.”
The non-profit organisation conducted a five month investigation into the matter led by trustees and even appointed a barrister as an independent investigator.
🚨This takes guilt by association to a new level.
Today, the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (@RCSLT) published a 5-month long investigation into the fact that its CEO was ‘following’ Tommy Robinson on X.
You read that correctly.
Not that he praised Tommy…

The rest of the post reads…
Not that he praised Tommy Robinson. Not that he amplified or re-posted Tommy Robinson. But that he was ‘following’ Tommy Robinson, from his own personal X account.
A sub-committee was established with a barrister appointed to investigate, in order to reflect the ‘gravity of the situation’.
Even more ludicrous, the investigation found that ‘on the balance of probabilities it was deemed that this was an accidental follow’.
The outcome? The CEO has been forced to issue a ‘personal apology for his actions’. In this apology, he has apologised for the ‘hurt, distress, fear and anger that this caused’.
This is utter madness, from a body of therapists.
In a statement, the RCSLT announced “Our response to the incident was slower than it should have been,” and that “Our responses to the incident lacked objectivity, empathy, and compassion, and failed to align with the values of the organisation.”
Jamieson was instructed to issue his own statement apologising for ‘accidentally’ following Robinson on X, in which he stated ” I am deeply sorry for the hurt, upset, distress, fear and anger that this caused members, colleagues and staff,” adding that “For members to see this, at a time of racial hatred and riots, must have been deeply shocking.”
He added, “Whilst I cannot turn back the clock, I have learnt from this and want members, staff and other RCSLT stakeholders to know that I recognise I have let you down and I am truly sorry.”
