In a scathing column at Unherd last month, Anglican priest Giles Fraser took aim at one of the most controversial men in England: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson. Robinson, after a recent stint in prison from November 2024 to May 2025 for contempt of court, now identifies as Christian. This was Robinson’s fifth stint in jail, mostly for activities related to his anti-Islam activism, which has defined his public life since founding the English Defence League in 2009 (he left the group in 2013, stating that it had become too extreme).
Fraser’s missive was a scathing rebuke of “Christian nationalism.” Robinson’s recent rallies have been marked with chants of “Christ is King,” Christian symbolism, and even clergy appearances. When Robinson organized a high-profile “Unite the Kingdom” carol service in December, the Church of England condemned it, warning against the “capture of Christian language and symbols by populist forces.” Fraser bluntly called Robinson a “cynical Christian” and accused him of using the language of faith to push a political agenda.
It is not a frivolous critique. The language of Christianity is being weaponized by many political actors who find it useful even though they do not believe it or fundamentally misunderstand its message. Western civilization is inextricably intertwined with Christianity, and nationalist movements have found this Christian heritage a convenient arsenal of potent images and symbols. There are plenty of examples of “Christ is King!” being chanted for political purposes—which is, in theological terms, taking God’s name in vain.
But when I asked Robinson about this in a Zoom interview just prior to Christmas, he didn’t start with England, or Western civilization. He started with himself...

He was so concerned about Islam he read the Quran inside and out, shocked at what he found.
Years later, realized he’d not done the same with the Bible. After reading it, the truth was staring at him squarely in the eyes, he couldn’t deny it.
When an article starts by making sure they say his “real name”, as though nobody knows...you see the bias immediately.
He’s put himself at great risk of harm, very brave man. I believe God shaped him, now he’s a finely crafted weapon. He’s arguably the most influential person in Britain. How many politicians could call hundreds of thousands to a protest as he did?
God loves OBJECTIVE skeptics because those folks are honest enough to admit they don’t know what the truth is and welcome answers usually-
Hope he reaches out to God honestly- God is found by any who honestly look for Him
King Charles is supposed to be the "Defender of the Faith"
Which one? /s
Matthew 7:15-20
“15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”
What are Tommy Robinson’s fruits since his prison release and declaration of faith?
“Christian Nationalist” has become a defamation of Christians just like “Zionist” is used against Jews, and it doesn’t matter to them that they misunderstand the terms. To the Left, it’s like calling them “Nazis”.
Between 2010 and 2020, the UK lost its Christian majority; in the same decade, Europe’s population share of Muslims went up by 16%. A poll in 2018 revealed that 38% of Britons between the ages of 21 and 28 did not know the identity of the Child in Nativity scenes.Given the long history of Britain, that is absolutely horrifying. UK started down the socialism path almost a century before we did, however. Its Fabian Socialists were one of its most noxious exports to our country around the turn of the previous century.
Here is a link to King Charles 2025 Christmas message:
King Charles 2025 Christmas Message
Charles is completely oblivious the invasion of Britain that has been going on for decades. His speech is full of meaningless platitudes like:
...these ways of living are treasured by all the great faiths
...peace through forgiveness
...simply getting to know our neighbors...showing respect to one another...creating new friendships
...great diversity of our communities we can find the strength to ensure that right triumphs over wrong
...shared longing for peace and a deep respect for all life
Meanwhile Britain and Western Europe are being hollowed out and destroyed from within.
Too many of our churches here are every bit as spineless. I fully understand where Tommy’s coming from.
