Robinson debating at Oxford? What next? Trump chairing the board of "Save the Children"?

Aamir Razak's avatar

well said mr luz, it seems astonishing to even think that someone like TR would have the platform to debate at oxford

How can an absolutely virulent agitator of no intellectual consequence, like Tommy Robinson, even hold court at a garden party, let alone debate at the Oxford Union. He’s a racist and a religious bigot.

3 fascists - all white middle aged males. Whites have a terrifying reputation of racism and greed.

Rees Mogg fought and argued for Brexit then transferred all his business off shore to Europe for tax benefits.

Laurence Fox and Steven Yaxley aka Tommy Robinson are white supremacists with a penchant for protests preaching hate.

All it would take for them to gain ground and power is a party like Trumps. Nigel Farage of the Reform Party is one such supporter of the Orange turd, who have considerable sway with working class voters.

We are a breath away from it happening.

Can you honestly imagine Stephen Yaxley lemon or any of those other disgusting Right Wing parties winning power with one of those as prime minister?

If that ever comes to fruition the UK will have truly given up on life.

Everyone needs to make sure when it comes time to vote - we get out there and use our votes for protection from these evil people.

Of course, Jacob Reese Mogg supports capitalism, Capitalism and capitalists promote racism in order to deflect from themselves and the fact they owe so much money to the UK in taxes, whilst hiding all their money in offshore accounts.

Lawrence Fox a nobody actor, looking to protect his inheritance and his sad little right wing philosophies. Standing on stage, trying to give the performance of his life, no wonder he’s struggling for work, but he’ll never struggle for money due to family wealth.

Tommy Robinson, wow, where do you start?

2005 (Conviction): Jailed for 12 months for assaulting an off-duty police officer during a drunken argument.

2010 (Behaviour Problem): Exposed by investigative journalists for using the fake alias "Tommy Robinson" to mask his prior violent criminal record.

2011–2015: Brawling, Passports, and Fraud

2011 (Conviction): Sentenced to a 12-month community rehabilitation order and a 3-year football banning order for leading a 100-person street brawl.

2011 (Conviction): Given a 12-week suspended prison sentence for headbutting a man at an English Defence League (EDL) rally.

2013 (Conviction): Jailed for 10 months for using a friend’s passport to sneak into the United States illegally.

2014 (Conviction): Jailed for 18 months for conspiracy to commit mortgage fraud to buy properties.

2017 (Conviction): Handed a 3-month suspended prison sentence for contempt of court after filming inside Canterbury Crown Court.

2018 (Conviction): Jailed for contempt after aggressively filming defendants outside a Leeds grooming trial; this breached strict reporting restrictions and almost collapsed the trial.

2018 (Ban): Banned permanently by PayPal from using their financial services to collect campaign donations.

2018 (Ban): Banned from Twitter/X for violating hateful conduct rules (later controversially reinstated by Elon Musk).

2019 (Ban): Permanently banned by Meta from Facebook and Instagram for violating policies on hate speech and inciting violence.

2021–2023: Libel, Bankruptcy, and Stalking

2021 (Libel & Bankruptcy): Lost a High Court defamation suit to a Syrian schoolboy he falsely defamed online, resulting in a £100,000 damages orderthat forced Robinson into bankruptcy.

2021 (Conviction): Convicted of stalking a journalist; received a five-year stalking protection order.

2024 (Conviction): Jailed for 18 months for Contempt of Court after repeatedly and deliberately violating a High Court injunction by broadcasting a defamatory film about the Syrian schoolboy.

2024 (Behaviour Problem): Detained by Kent Police at the Channel Tunnel under the Terrorism Act for refusing to surrender his mobile phone PIN.

2025 (Release): Early release from HMP Woodhill in May after serving seven months of his contempt sentence.

2025 (Behaviour/Arrest): Arrested on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) following an altercation at a train station; he fled to Spain before being arrested upon return.

2025 (Court Win): Formally cleared of the 2024 Terrorism Act charge regarding his mobile phone PIN, with the judge citing flawed police questioning.

2026 (Upcoming Trial): Facing an active criminal trial set for October 2026 at Southwark Crown Court, where he has pleaded not guilty to harassing MailOnline journalists.

Robinson used his street-level notoriety to build a lucrative personal brand. He used multiple fake aliases—including "Tommy Robinson" (taken from a notorious Luton football hooligan)—specifically to hide his prior criminal record for assaulting police from his followers.

In 2013, Robinson publicly left the EDL, claiming he could no longer control the "extreme elements" and neo-Nazi factions within the group. However, watchdogs note he immediately pivoted to alternative far-right organizations (like Pegida UK) and digital media platforms to continue the exact same anti-Muslim rhetoric.

What worries me if Burnham fails it lets in Restore/Reform because there’s no one else that matches their popularity for the working class. We’ve been through the main party’s in recent times with no success. Every time I switch on the tv Reform MPs are on. Question time, Newsnight, Jeremy Vine, Channel4, Sky News. LBC, etc etc. They’re really pushing their agenda. I’m so angry with Zach Polanski. He’s made the Greens a laughing stock, no one I know takes him seriously since his mistakes. Hope I’m wrong.

I think the reason they are on every television station is to try and cover up for the fact that they’re being investigated heavily for all of the bribing and monies that haven’t been declared going on behind the scenes..

They are trying to distract by talking absolute rubbish, and I think the new stations are seeing through it at last as they keep asking pointed questions, and then let reform dig a bigger hole.

Andy Burnham could easily succeed If he takes a stand against the genocide happening in Gaza denounces any further connection with Israel.

He could also implement the wealth tax that everyone is crying for. I’m not sure why he isn’t. Maybe he feels it will be hard to implement. It doesn’t matter if multimillionaires and billionaires leave the UK If they’re not paying the taxes in the first place and just living off all the assets that they’ve bought cheap in the UK, tax them on them.

Asylum seeker refugees are not the problem, The problem are the ignorant people that believe the fascists and the racists pushing the agenda whilst all the capitalists are rubbing their hands.

Why don't we stop giving the tommy robinsons of this world air time; there's nothing to be gained from it for humanity. Plenty to be gained for them tho'. Just stop. He's an assault to decent people.

Does anyone get the feeling that these "Oxford Debates" are actually a division promoting tool?

It strikes me as irrational that these people choose to defend and revere a pdfile who literally groomed then married 9yr old Ayesha when was still a small prepubescent child that was still playing with dolls. That's sick, vile and indefensible.

Tel aviv tommy loves to rape and defends a nation of genocidal child rapists.

It strikes me as irrational that "people" such as yourself leap to his defense, but so it goes.

How do people have a "right" to faith and religion?

If someone claims to be an adult .. they have a "right" to see through childish fantasies and as adults, GROW UP!.

Religion is too stupid for words.

He's too stupid to know that Allah and the God of the Old Testament are exactly the same deity? 🤪😀🤣

Very interesting.

But the post is out of context.

Can you supply the original source video please.

I presume it is an Oxford Union debate but have no certainty.

You do this with a lot of your posts.

Take the example of James Corbett who provides extensive show notes below his presentations. They list links, sources, context and much else

Kathy's avatar

This is from MEE that they clipped. The original full debate can probably be found on YouTube

You don't understand the difference between James Corbett and just regular people sharing stuff on the internet?

James Corbett is a documentarian. Most of us are not.

You don't have to give a citations. What you do on the Internet is stimulate discussion so that people can learn from one another.
