Tommy Robinson shared his views on mass migration and the future of the United Kingdom in an exclusive interview with Visegrád24. Known for his controversial stance and as the founder of the English Defence League (EDL) in 2009, Robinson has remained a polarizing figure in British politics. Over the years, his public perception has evolved as he continues to voice concerns about the issues he believes are shaping the nation.
England Means Everything to Me
"I’ve got three children, it is my duty as an Englishman, to make sure that I hand down a safe and prosperous country to them" says Tommy Robinson in an interview with V24 filmed just weeks before he was sentenced to prison.
Robinson, born and raised in Luton, describes his hometown as a microcosm of the changes occurring across the UK. He argues that mass migration and challenges with integration have reshaped communities nationwide.
“When I was born in 1982, there was one mosque; now there are 45. The entire British Parliament has pandered and cowered in the face of ideologies that wish to destroy this nation,” he claimed. Despite being labeled as one of the “most hated men in Britain,” Robinson insists that public support for his views is growing. “Most places I go, I’m met with love,” he said, arguing that negative portrayals of him stem from media bias.
A Shifting Political Landscape
Robinson sees recent political shifts in Europe, such as the rise of Geert Wilders in the Netherlands and increasing support for parties critical of mass migration, as evidence of a broader awakening. “Right now, the British public is waking up in a massive way,” he said, asserting that the government and mainstream media have failed to address the concerns of ordinary citizens.
Robinson maintains that his criticisms are aimed at extremist ideologies, not individuals. “I’ve never changed,” he stated. “Individual Muslims are not the problem; extremist radicals are.” He argues that the UK’s migration policies have prioritized newcomers over long-term residents, leading to feelings of disenfranchisement among native Brits. “We are being made to feel like foreigners in our own country,” he said.
What is the solution?
Robinson calls for:
- Stricter border controls and deportations - for migrants who do not respect the rule of law.
- Free speech - Silencing dissent only fosters resentment. “Free speech and open dialogue are essential. Censorship only increases frustration among the British public,” he said. “We need to get organized; we need to unite this nation.”
- Christianity - While not deeply religious himself, Robinson acknowledged Christianity's influence on British society. He suggested that the weakening of traditional values has left a void that other ideologies are filling.
- Action - Robinson concluded with a call to action, urging the British public to speak out and take decisive steps to preserve the nation's character and security.
As Tommy says, “It’s time to step out of line."
