How Tommy Robinson won the battle for Maga’s heart
The Telegraph ^ | Thu, April 23, 2026 | Colin Freeman

Posted on 04/27/2026 2:53:14 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

When Sir Christian Turner, a career diplomat, was made Britain’s new US ambassador after Lord Mandelson’s sacking, his priorities were clear. First, he was to act as a safe pair of hands, preserving what was left of the special relationship. Second, he was to dispel the notion that Britain had become a woke hellhole, where knife gangs and Islamists run amok, and where critics are locked up.

“I won’t shy from debate,” Turner vowed in his opening speech in February. “I will tell you why London is the safest city in the G7 – fact – why we’re not curtailing free speech – fact– and I want to hear how you see it too.”

One inconvenient fact, however, is that when it comes to bending American ears, especially the Make America Great Again (Maga) crowd, Turner is not the only show in town. Britain currently has another man in Washington who is likely better known among Trump fans and who peddles exactly the opposite message.

Step forward the far-Right activist Tommy Robinson, who is currently touring the US, drawing attention to what he calls the “cultural destruction of the United Kingdom and the destruction through mass immigration”.

His coast-to-coast trip comes ahead of a second “Unite The Kingdom” rally in London next month, a follow-up to the one Robinson organised last September, which attracted more than 100,000 people.

“100,000 people” - it was a hell of a lot more than that.

If it were a leftist march they’d call it “100 billion people!!”.

TR is the only person that understands, and is fighting for, actual freedom - everyone else seems to have forgotten.

I’m hoping that his “Unite the Kingdom” rally on May 16th has some “surprise” (video) guests. He had Elon in September. It would be absolutely epic, along with make Starmer’s skin crawl, if PDJT joined!!

I know TR was implying he had a shot at meeting Trump, I haven’t heard if he did or not.

Good luck dispelling a notion rooted in truth.

As long as you have Muslims inside your boarder you are going to have this problem.

If your courts and LEOs keep protecting these Muslims from justice the problem will only continue to worsen.

The Ayatollah Turner talks a good game.

British guy who exposes the Islamic invasion, Muslim rape gangs and other crimes. He keeps fighting despite being sent to prison multiple times. The West needs more people like him.

I saw this video the other day, Tommy posted it of him talking with the braindead left outside of a TPUSA event. It’s hilarious.

Tommy is a huge hero of mine. He’s fast on his feet and he’s passionate and he is one of the few fighting for the survival of England. I’ve loved him since the early 2010s.

He’s a man from the UK that everyone should know. Fearless in his message, persecuted by the British State. He’s “just” a working-class lad from Luton Town, a nobody the elites hate.

Whatever you do, don’t just “Google him”. You’ll get nothing but leftist “far right” garbage.

He’s outspoken about Islam, Pakistani “grooming gangs”, and has paid for it - labeled “racist” by everyone, only to be proven right. He had been *completely* canceled - accounts banned by FB, YT, Twitter, etc., thrown in prison for anything with the expectation that Muslims (that run the prisons) would finish him off. He survived. The British government had YT execs summoned, questioned as to WHY (WHY!) does TR show up on their feed! Then the evidence kept coming, undeniable, then Elon gave him his X account back.

He’s the bravest man in the UK and holds more clout (with the people) than any single politician. In Sept last year he organized a rally in London, 100’s of thousands came. He has another event May 16th.

After studying the Quran back-to-back, up-down, and inside out - he realized he’d never read the Bible, so he did....and has since become Christian. The establishment are terrified of him.

His last prison sentence was for playing a BANNED VIDEO he made exposing the corruption of the judicial system. A single judge (in said corrupt system) “deemed the evidence as lies”, told him not play it...he did anyway and was sent again to prison, no jury, in solitary for several months.

He was finally allowed to come to the USA and went on almost every major podcast you can imagine. He presented to Congress, met major political figures, and possibly Trump (he alluded to the possibility, not confirmed). He will return to the UK with more credibility than ever.

I’ve been following him for over 15 years, if not longer. I’ve read his books, very raw and down to earth. It all started at a homecoming for British troops returning from Iraq, where a bunch of Islamists had been given a space and were spitting them, Tommy jumped the railing and drop-kicked an ISIS flag holder....epic :) A warrior was born and has never backed down. I’m surprised he’s still alive - multiple attempts on his life.

Some on the “right” don’t like Tommy because he’s unabashedly Pro-Israel.
