Read our privacy policy A personal trainer who set up a fitness class for Muslim women has been bombarded with racist abuse and death threats from Tommy Robinson supporters after the far-right activist attacked her on his Instagram page. Bianca Jade, a 30-year-old personal trainer from Nottingham, said she had been inundated with vitriolic abuse since Robinson shared the flyer for her fitness classes for women on Monday. They are very ignorant.” Ms Jade, who said the classes had always been open to any women who wished to attend, blamed Robinson for the abuse she had received, noting that the calls only started coming through after he shared the flyer. A photo of a Rape Crisis pamphlet aimed at black, Asian and minority ethnic women was posted on Robinson’s Facebook page with the caption: “I guess it’s ok to rape white women then?” The Wycombe, Chiltern and South Bucks Rape Crisis centre received hundreds of abusive phone calls and messages after the post appeared on the far-right activist’s Facebook page, the charity said.
