Tommy Robinson is the co-founder and former spokesman and leader of the English Defence League (EDL) "street protest" movement, and also founded the European Defence League. For a short time in 2012 Robinson was joint Party Vice Chairman of the British Freedom Party. He led the EDL from 2009 until 8 October 2013, when he was persuaded to quit the organisation and to discuss alternative ways of tackling extremism with the think tank Quilliam.

Tommy Robinson is a great man and will go down in history.
@@jellydee123 Great doesn't always mean good. Hitler was also great and went down in history. And just like Hitler, Tommy Robinson will go down for what he really is, a RACIST !

I'm a Muslim who lives in Sunderland, so we don't have integration problems anything like they do in Luton, But the muslim leaders in cities like Luton need to make an effort in teaching young Muslims tolerance and the meaning of living in a multi cultural community, I feel for Tommy here as I feel he has been mis represented by the mainstream media as a racist thug, when clearly he isn't, I would welcome him to our local mosque to give a speech and address issues that our leaders are either too scared or ignorant to issue.
It is impossible for muslim 'leaders' to support integration. In the UK apostasy, blasphemy and adultery are not illegal. In the UK, child marriage, forced marriage and honour killing are illegal. In the UK all girls and all women are free to do whatever they wish, within the law of the land and are not under the control of male relatives. All of this is an anathema to those illiterate, unelected, primitive so-called leaders.
You are a good one and welcome here its the ones that don't think like you we don't want here
Exactly. If you come here illegally then use our values that were paid for in the blood of our young to start running your mouth and protesting and trashing our history and values you won’t be welcome here. 💁🏼♂️ When in Rome. As if Islam don’t have a history of conquest and slavery. 😝 Where doesn’t? Don’t like it leave. If I went to Thailand and started running my mouth I’d be sent to prison. If I tried it in Iran they’d throw me off a roof. Here in England, we value freedom of speech and it’s abused by Muslims. It’s not the hate from nationalists that worry’s me, it’s the hate from Muslims. Let’s not forget how they’ve launched attacks on our citizens.
It's good to hear this, I don't want a religious people from any religion pushing people out or attacking anybody,
I'm also originally from Sunderland (don't live there now), and the scenes from Luton shocked me. I'm pretty sure that Tommy must've cherry picked his footage to support his viewpoint, but just the fact that some of it happened is worrying enough. I grew up with Muslins and Sikhs and none of it mattered; we were all just kids that grew up together and nobody cared what religion you were (definitely saw some racism, but not even a great deal of that). Luton clearly has issues going on that Sunderland didn't at the time I was there.
How can anyone truly sit through that whole presentation and then call him a fascist and a racist...? People need to get their head out the sand!!!
Tommy keep up the good work i am a Jamaican and Englishman im proud of my country i would die this man should be prime minister
He deserved a round of applause after that speech.
TomMAdeaR ... and a round of drinks
this is a university you're talking about. I'm surprised they didn't call the police for hate speech, this could come to all of their communities one day, if so it'll have been too late.
@Val O'Brien "open" but clearly a bias audience they applauded any beratement of Tommy but nothing when Tommy speaks. im not speaking about the union so which one of us is really being ignorant?
@Val O'Brien you're defending something that's not even being criticised
@@mrmountain1683 I think they just misread your comment pal - I agree with you both though lol
Everthing tommy is saying is what many brits think regardless of colour or race .
Well done to Oxford for inviting Tommy, someone who speaks the truth.
Yeah all the bad people and bad things in the world are perpetrated by people of color.He’s a white supremiscist .No better than trump or anybody else with that mindset Fuck him
@@winterlandboy quick one, name one thing that's racist trump has done?
@@dunkydog1676 Yet, many of the leaders that have welcomed Islam to Europe have been jewish...
He speaks "his" truth.
Elisa what happens in Luton happens in ALL the ghettos. His truth IS true which is why you don't like it
He's a straight guy and talks how it is, that's the reason in today's politics he won't go far.
The transguy would last EIGHT seconds in any Islamic country.
Actually, that's not true. It's a common misconception, because many Islamic countries are homophobic. Iran has the second largest amount of gender reassignment treatments in the world, after Thailand. Also in the Indian subcontinent, there is a long history of "hijara" (trans people) in the culture.
@@krullingmyballs who contradicted?
@I Am Me transphobia and homophobia are separate phobias
"Beginning in the mid-1980s, transgender individuals were officially recognized by the government and allowed to undergo sex reassignment surgery. As of 2008, Iran carries out more sex change operations than any other nation in the world except Thailand." Citation: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_rights_in_Iran
@@Machismo1983 no they are not separate phobias 😑
A man with British blood running through his veins 🇬🇧
3:02 "That's four years worth of tweets" "I wasn't even on Twitter four years ago, yeah?" Tommy Robinson was right, and we all should've seen this coming. He's not a bad guy. He has even said, the Kurds who fight for their freedom read the same book. Islam is not a race, so good luck proving him to be any kind of racist.
Kurds who fight! Most Muslim Kurds hate that PKK/YPG communist terrorist groups! I told you this guy is a pseudo woke dumbass, and so as his followers
@@muktijoddha385 I definitely agree that communism isn't the way, but nationalism is better than sectarianism. I hope there is an independent Kurdistan ASAP, as the forefathers of my nation would as well. I appreciate your opinion and also am against communism (especially of the Chinese variety now). Stay safe akhi.
@Umar Shah I only found fan accounts. I know he was active on Facebook, but at that point he didn't have a personally managed Twitter account. Regardless of our minor disagreement, stay safe akhi.
Umar Shah for context, 5 months ago, you’ve said you’ve followed him 6 years ago on a 5 year old video where he says he wasn’t on Twitter 4 years before the release of the video. I hope you realise how much of a bean you were lmao
@Umar Shah when did you stop spying then 😁
Tommy robinson is right to fear mass immigration, change my mind.
Call all the whites back from america, australia and south africa and maybe we can discuss your fears
Beem B Give up all the British has given to the world... .modern medicine, democracy, advancements in farming, advancements in clothing manufacturing, trains, cars, buses, planes and everything else we take for granted today. So give up your modern existence and then we talk for wasn’t for the British Empire and the industrial revolution the British started can you would would still only have one set of clothes and hungry that if you lived long enough with out medicine like penicillin.
@@ProblematicBitch You are proving the point - ask the Hopi or Blackfoot or the Algonquins, the Ayapathu, Alura, the Bantu and so on and so on.
just look at Germany my friend... mass immigration is no good look
Problematic Bitch whites make countries great..( and im not white ) change my mind
TOTALLY RESPECT AND ADMIRE THIS TRUTHFUL AND HONEST INDIVIDUAL. YOU ARE RIGHT TOMMY, KEEP GOING, DO NOT LET THEM GET TO YOU. YOU ARE A COURAGEOUS AND BRAVE INDIVIDUAL.
His courage brings tears to my eyes. He's just a courageous and articulate working class lad with the 'wrong' accent
Really your a joker.
Also a convicted fraud and domestic abuser
Interesting. I agree that his 'cockney' accent, causes him to be judged as a 'dope' maybe, simple, unintelligent. Unfortunately he's not an EFFECTIVE public speaker, he is too emotionally involved and just a normal guy, not many people are EFFECTIVE public speakers. The movement to counter extreme-islam needs to be reshaped and somehow detached from EDL et al. It needs highly intelligent, calm, eloquent, likeable, articulate and convincing speakers to be the face before it gains widespread traction and poltically acceptable coverage in mainstream media. It also needs widespread buy-in from the muslim community. It's an issue few want to touch, because of the potential for backlash... I'd be inclined to think you need a character like Tommy Robinson... one who isn't scared of the backlash. Those people are few and far between as there'd be few who have his experience and his background and therefore the motivation, but ALSO have the public speaking ability of Obama or Blair AND the likeability of Dwayne Johnson or David Attenborough.
Very proud of Tommy’s work. He is just a normal ordinary working class lad, he has tremendous courage, bravely to defend the West Values of freedom speech, and the West value. History WILL prove his did right thing. MSM and the establishment just want to destroy Tommy, his spirits and his bravery is such remarkable.
She should have apologised for stating that fake tweet. She attacked him because of what she read in the media, instead of listening to what he says.
homegirl sides with the attacker, blames victim, misquotes, and gets applause.
that woman on his left was clearly against him.
Magistar not just the woman on the left, everyone on the 'left' is against him.
The audience's questions seem vindictive, as if, they've already made up their minds regardless of what he says or will say.
Sadly perception is hard to overlook. If you feel a certain way about something and have been indoctrinated to have certain beliefs, it is difficult to see anything else.
Sad
Unfortunately half these Liberal leftists are so far gone without a shred of hope to at least open their mind to a alternative perception of their own reality, that any valid discussions against their own believe system they simply cannot change. Mind was made up ragardless of Tommy's informative discussion on what he has witnessed
Welcome to your modern liberal.
tremendous respect for going into this anti bear pit. he is very articulate and logical. it was never all about muslims; it was about the so-called cultural wars that we are now seeing in all their glory. He has been disgracefully badged as the right wing fascist and lazy media only have to mention him and that is it - witch hunt time.
The fact that they started clapping before listening to what Tommy has to say is quite sad, Mob mentality right there.
The fact that the questioner attacks his character after everything she’s witness shows how much she cares about real issues such as pimping, murder, and rape.
Her question is essentially "Why have you improved over time?" And the answer is because he learned over time. Seriously dumb question. She could have asked him to explain the process, but she seemed far more interested in slamming him for ever being involved in the first place! After that huge in-depth speech he gave!
I thought it was a good question. The transition from someone who leads street protests of people who shout anti-Islamic rhetoric to diplomatic negotiator is quite a dramatic one.
Just because he slipped up and said islam instead of radical islam. That's her whole point. Sad
he makes a lot of sense
Oxford 's motto is "Dominus illuminatio mea" - The Lord is My Light. Oh, how far they have strayed.....
Forty seconds in: how telling that the female questioner talks about "your" Government. Not her Government. Not our Government. One nation? I think not.
that last minute was very thought provoking....there are few politicians that could speak as honestly and truthfully as that....take heed
"Even a Jedi" LOL
no such thing as islamphobia
That's true....a phobia is an irrational fear.....fear of many aspects of islam is very rational indeed
Gangi Films Have you ever watched an Isis beheading on Utube? What about a 3 year old little Muslim walking around his flat with a beheaded man in his hands like it's a toy! The father explained why he let him play with it, it was a symbol of the trophy, where does an ideology like that belong? In your neighborhood, I saw a woman buried alive a hole was dug and they took turns with their shovels to throw the sand in her face as she slowly got buried to her face up, the whole time other men thrown large rocks at her body , tied up, muzzled, they throw rocks at her head until chunks of her face was being destroyed, all of this was on utube and done by Islam, and Muslims! Rape Gangs at 7 year old little girls, virgin, all because Mohammed married a 9 year old girl! Is this kind of religion sane?
Tammy Mills It clearly is not the religion of peace. If it is intrinsically satanic you'll know him by his nature. And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, (or Allah), and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time (that time is now). I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge the EU and other leftist parties). And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded (victims of islam) because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.
It’s a made up term deemed to use to prosecute the critics of Islam. Complete baloney of course.
Here's a thought. Wasn't the term set up by the Muslim brotherhood to shame non-Muslims? The Muslim Brotherhood said they would use the West's virtues of tolerance and acceptance against us.
It was like the first question woman hadn't listened to a word he said!!!
Cognitive Dissonance.
i cant believe ive never seen this everyone who thinks that tommy is some kind of facist should watch this and listen
Did you think he was a fascist before viewing this? All of us Tommy supporters try and encourage people to watch his oxford union speech. It's one of his best. His word has never changed since the beginning of his activism. Tommy is our lion 🦁💙🇬🇧
Speaking the Truth Gets You into Trouble !.
guaranteed smartest most educated man in the entire room fantastic I applaud you, Tony Robinson hats off to you
probably not the most educated to be fair
@@wobblybobengland fair point but in life better educated and less programmed by the system
@@2MSecurity smartest I agree with.
That lady sound pretty angry when she was talking to mr Robinson , Tommy Robinson isn't unique his saying the same as Douglas Murray is saying so i don't get what does people hate him and the government persecute him, rather than listening to what his saying just as they listen to Douglas Murray and treat Murray with respect. why is Tommy a Fascist for criticising Islam but Douglas Murray doesn't get painted with the same brush.
I think she was a man
Douglas is gay and scores some victim points. Tommy is working class and so doesn't matter how much sense he talks they'll never get beyond his accent. *They wage prejudice and call it fairness.*
I think that is Kamal from Big Brother.
I think it has more to do with the past of Tommy, his demeanour at times, his inaccurately being portrayed as far-right ala BNP, his alias name being associated with football hooliganism (named after a Luton Town hooligan). Also Murray is more cautious with his wording at times. I like both, I don't care how they're portrayed by the media.
Cos he's white working class - unfortunately, the left dont see their own hypocrisy in their prejudices.
I wonder why newspapers never show sources and context when talking about him. People might think he's reasonable.
Tommy talks sense. Hungary has the best stand for not taking refugees and migrants from Muslim countries.
So much love and respect for Tommy Robinson ❤❤❤
@@awaleadan6713 well educated response
Awale Adan your deffo an immigrant
Exactly. He's only saying what so so many are thinking...
Tommy is not racist... he is a realist Many muslims would agree with him It's the peado drug pushing crazies that don't
Adan showing his true extremist ways....Islam the religion of peace...Mmmm if they dont like it they kill u or get u killed...
Tommy Robinson the true king of England GOD BLESS HIM
King Tony
He's the man..
Lord Jesus is the true Saviour! Along with Gandhi!
ms fur coat could not have listened to anything that Tommy said earlier. and everybody are clapping....
Erik Kantor yea it made me sad that they clapped 😩
Erik Kantor the one mistake he made was not calling them muslim extremists instead of calling them Muslims and that why people were applausing in her favor. Even though we know he was refering to the extremists and not Muslims as a religion.
Shows you how brain washed people are Oisin, these are people who are so brainwashed with leftist Marxist propaganda that is being pushed in colleges, they focus on that, they have no common sense, they love to virtue signal they are cowards.
Just shows us friend what we are up against , and these are supposed to be the intelligence of the future
I have much love and respect for all humanity-All humanity!!! I feel the hatred of this woman and wonder - how on earth can someone sit through such an honest and passionate representation of someone’s reality and counter with such a pugnacious and r-complex dominated response? I feel sorry for you young lady and hope that one day you may grow up and have a more loving and inclusive attitude towards the rest of humanity. 🙏
Surely the man in the fur coat at the start would not be very well accepted by Islam?
I see a brilliant man. One definition of "hero" is probably someone who sees alarming evidence for something and then dedicates his life to doing what he can about it.
Apart from the amazing fight this lad has been putting up, did anyone else notice his suit? Looking sharp!
Right on good man. He isn't an academic, but his addresses and responses are about as good as any scholar or politician I've ever seen. Better in some ways. And I would have liked to hear that young woman answer his question and see if she would have been able to say that she did blame him. Or say "that isnt the real Islam" or something like that.
Did that fur-clad one walk in after he'd spoken? Where's bloody PETA when you need them?
@Madelene Manley I thought we were trying to encourage peaceful, civilised, respectful debate?
That just her own hair !
Three cheers for Tommy 👍🇬🇧
Fuk yea mate 💯 per cent 👍
A million cheers. Watch his interview with Tucker Carlsson
Tommy you are the man! Britain you are lucky to have Tommy Robinson!
Fuk yea
He comes from Ireland but it's Britain that owns him ..unfair
Not they aren't.
Well said Tahmmy! Best mates name was Tommy Mills :)
He's spot on!
Ata boy Tommy keep putting them in their place.
God bless this guy.
A big salute to this man
Our society needs more conversations and exchange of opinions like this. Ideally, with little more respect to all parties.
He is an honest man. And what he warned of has come to pass. There is now no corner of Europe where some sort of public resentment against Islamists has not surfaced. It is going to get ugly.
Such a good person. The media are absolute scum......
Shut up
@@annie6906 oh Hello Annie, nice to meet you too. x
Absolutely. Such a shame the media attack brave people who are set on dealing with societies problems head on.
This, this, this!!!!! This is what Universities SHOULD be doing; they should be opening their ears to opinions and topics that are challenging. We cannot advance objective truth in the world unless we allow ourselves to learn about and question about even the most sacred of sacred cows. Whomever invited Tommy Robinson to speak, you have done something to reaffirm for me that universities are a place of learning and not just an indoctrination system for woke progressiveness. Thank you.
That woman is a actually a man,!forgot his name he's from Liverpool, he was on big brother a few years back, actually I think his name was Kamarl
Why do you care? I thought identity politics didn't matter so why bring identity into it? Focus on the person's point, not their background etc
@@user-qb3tk8rs8t Exactly! So why didn’t the audience do that?
That first speaker doesn’t seem to understand the definition of the word “reformed”. She’s asking him why he used to make generalizations about Islam, but now doesn’t. Honey, that’s literally how being “reformed” works.
God Bless you Tommy Robinson 🙏
That was seven years ago. Folks see the error of their ways and make a change. FOR THE BETTER!!
This man has been so maligned
Maybe Oxford Union should start screening the participants of these debates because clearly they go in with an agenda, dont' actually listen to the speech and wait for the Q&A to bring up past actions of Tommy just to smear him again. Unbelievably disrespectful and stupid.
the interviewer is suppose to not let her cool down, in an interview she's suppose to stay calm as possible but she doesn't sound neutral to me he sounds angry, pretty unprofessional.
I knew watching the full speech she was not impressed and that she was obviously a Muslim, she is part of the problem she should stand with Tommy but just focuses on one tiny portion of what he says "not all muslims" bullshit, she had her head tilted during the full interview with a scoul on her!
@@orls9068 chip on yr shoulder! it was a great interview. freetommy im not gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Tommy Robinson has held up very well in this highly educated forum!! He is a throwback to my own blue collar upbringing in Sheboygan Wisconsin. No Ivy League "diet of abstraction" in this guy. He is anchored in his community!! Despite a few college degrees am always drawn to these figures because understand their expression and where it comes from. You will never get this from Hillary Clinton or Barak Obama. They do not understand what a community is. Hillary says: "It takes a village!!" For Hillary that is an interlocking directorate of people tied to government programs!! For Tommy Robinson, it is much closer intellectually to home. Barak is a functional schizophrenic: Despite no connection between what goes on in his mental process and external reality, he was very effective at subverting our country!! He has never really connected with real people....except perhaps his CIA handlers with the checks!!
God Speed, Tommy!! They are going to serve up yet more hell to you. Ever meet you in a pub, the Pints are on me!!
Sheboygan? I believe polka polka was a huge hit there ?
Tommy Robinson, great speach 👍
Emre Eves Yes!
Tommy is our Hero 👍
Yes Tommy is an half Irish God!
How about he exposes those who fund hi
@@MulMhmm oy vey
Sad pathetic oxygen thief
There is no extreme Islam - the doctrine of Islam is very extreme itself. There’s no moderate and extreme - both is a part of the same doctrine. It’s a systemic problem.
Much respect for Tommy, followed him from the early days of the EDL.

Is that Kamal from big brother whos asking the question? lol
TOMMY ROBINSON IS A HERO
Tommy hits the nail on the head
Wow I'm impressed.
Tommy should admit that he once believed all muslims were bad but he's updated his understanding now. We should never blame people for updating their understanding on new evidence.
Im sure that guy in the fur was on Big Brother.....
Vote Tommy for MEP
We should be able to challenge the ideology of Islam. The British people need to be able to express their concerns and be listened to by their government. Their is a problem with Islam. Shame on the British government.
You Came across Well.👍
Why then as soon as i saw the person asking the question did i know the words racist or facist were going to come up?.

This comment really stood out for me Bob thank you. As a self confessed "lefty" the behavior of the young lady was hard to watch. I stand for equality and greater strides in social justice this includes funding for local communities no matter how large, small or diverse.
And to top it off the radical Muslim society would thank a woman for standing up for them. In fact they'd be outraged
What was telling was those who didn’t applaud when he entered but applauded when he finished
Adore Tommy Robison ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tommy is the new Winston Churchill
Winston Churchill the genocide bloke. Take a research on what he did to India, you would be ashamed to have him as your role model.
Wow you really are an intellectual
Kat Harman It is not specifically one thing that you can assert what Churchill did as bad, but it is the malgam of things which denotes that he was abusing the land.
Tommy the truth.....
Tommy Robinson is a great man, and maybe one the best England has.
They didn’t listen then but there f@£king listening now in Manchester & Yorkshire. Give this man a knighthood.
some of us have known that the truth is worse than the lies,spread by the media about the facts.enock Powell told us years ago,and was castigated, Tommy has said similar things and been castigated.look at what is happening now.the blood is going to flow pretty soon.
Well said
Did she not hear that he sit down with the Home Secretary ffs
Wow, after witnessing his unarguably concerning and honest concerns, her question avoids the real issue and goes straight to smear tactics which are likely untrue and even if are are so insignificant to the concerns he raised
Scary times ahead☺️
Interesting indeed
As someone on the left, seeing alot of anti left comments, I take no issue with anything Tommy is saying here. It's really unfortunate that the left is often represented by proponents who are right at the end of the spectrum, and the same can be said for those on the right.
Tommy you are so patient with these idiots.
Why are people not asking about the girls being raped .
GO TOMMY ROBINSON ✅
I love him
Many questioners walked in from the protester's group outside. Shame they never heard what he had to say for an hour. They probably never saw the videos showed either.
please support Tommy this sunday 3pm we have reached the cross road if we loss this battle by not standing up, are children and thier future generations will spit on our graves as cowards and rightfully so. get off your ass and get down there and tell whoever you can..Peace
