Yes the guy who was sent to jail for saying words that the government didn’t like. He was further persecuted for making a film about it as well. Put in solitary confinement for nothing other than _saying words_.
He is completely correct about Pakistani rape gangs, the growth of Sharia courts and laws in the UK, and growing violence against the native British.
Side note: the UK government fines and jails more people for speech than most authoritarian dictatorships, including Russia.
Robinson was explicitly jailed for making libellous accusations. He invented claims that the refugee had bullied other kids, supplemented by unrelated photos that he stole. He admitted it was all fake, but then repeated the claims in a film. This is all clearly documented.
A 15 year old refugee boy had been assaulted, had water forced into his mouth, had had his arm broken, his sister had been assaulted. He's now terrified of going back to the school because of the hate that Robinson has filled other kids' heads with. Robinson's behaviour was utterly shameful, and it's shameful that you defend him in this instance.

“Making libelous accusations” = “saying words you don’t agree with”
“A photo he stole” - didn’t he just repost something he found on TikTok? How is that stealing?
Again all these things you say he did amount to him saying things you don’t like. He didn’t commit any violence or hurt anyone, just said words. You are trying to justify locking people up for saying things and that is what real authoritarian government looks like.
>Approximately 12,000 people are arrested annually in the UK for offensive online messages
>In 2023, specifically 12,183 people were arrested for sending or posting offensive messages on social media [3]
>Police are making around 30 arrests per day for offensive online messages [1]
>The trend shows significant increases: arrests have risen by 121% since 2017 [1] and by almost 58% since before the pandemic
Yet if we do it your way we get violent nationwide riots fuelled by misinformation on social media.
> Everything Tommy Robinson has said is true ... Nothing he says or does is violent or illegal
Tommy Robinson who was tried and jailed for repeatedly spreading libellous allegations about a Syrian refugee? Are you being serious?
