Robertson attended
Linlithgow Academy, where he stated his ambition was to become a 'poet filmmaker'. In 2000 at the age of 17, he attended art college in
London, working as a
rent boy in order to meet his accommodation needs. He described the multi-ethnic experience in college as "dizzying", and returned to Scotland after graduation, where he fell into depression and spent the following ten years living as a
NEET in his childhood bedroom. He launched his YouTube channel at the end of 2013, by which point he had developed highly racialised politics which he expounded in chain smoking monologues in amongst comments and anecdotes from his personal life. Having gained a significant online profile, Robertson delivered a speech at the
National Policy Institute Conference in November 2016, in Washington DC. In January 2017, Robertson began receiving coverage from
BBC News and national newspapers, after Scottish tabloid the
Daily Record doxxed Millennial Woes, exposing his
birth name, family's home address and sending reporters and photographers to his parents' home to try to find him. Robertson was reported to have "left Britain", posting a video to his YouTube channel named "Fugitive Woes". On 4 February 2017, Robertson gave a speech entitled "
Withnail and I as Viewed From the Right" at The
London Forum in
Kensington, On 25 February 2017, Robertson gave a speech at a white nationalist event in
Stockholm organised by
Motpol. On 1 July 2017, he appeared at the far-right Scandza Forum's "Globalism v the Ethnostate" conference in
Oslo. On 10 December 2017, he began an interview series named
Millenniyule 2017, inviting various internet personalities from the
alt-right movement, including an appearance from
Faith Goldy. Until 2020, Robertson was aligned with the neo-fascist group
Patriotic Alternative until that group distanced themselves from him following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Since then, according to
Hope Not Hate, Robertson's influence has been "radically diminished". ==Views==
